The problem is really not so big…I searched and got the best solution on howtl, Does ring work with Google.

you must try their solution, it really works.

So now that you’ve had many months if research, when is this going to work? I know Amazon and Google are competitors, but seriously most of us are not going to be single vendor ecosystems, so quit taking your corporate frustrations out on the consumers. Even if I had Alexa, I would not throw away my home devices.

Nest doorbell doesn’t offer wireless, so I picked ring. I invested in Google homes already so I’m not getting Alexa and have absolutely zero intention to do so. So play nice already and make this work, even for basic functionality that is advertised that it works before the class action lawsuits start up.

Community support is a nice add-on, but it isn’t a substitute for actual support, especially for the price of your products I expect to be able to trained support people instead of whomever happens across this post (no offense meant) and whatever generic idea they have, usually just other people asking if it’s fixed yet, where this issue has been open forever with no real answer even tho it was closed with a “hose 'em and close 'em” answer. This is the failing of community driven support, there is no accountability and no real escalation path. Start acting like a real support company and offer actual support instead of community only. Or cut the price in half because you really aren’t selling anything that special with no support and no major integrations.

  • Insidently, Ring no longer works with the Wink hub due to the mandated 2 step verification process. Considering that the Wink Hub 2 controls my myriad smart home gadgets and Google home is in every room to control the Wink Hub 2, its clear that Ring/Amazon is the weak link. Here’s the kicker, Ring is the only one to charge a service fee! I’m ditching 6 firesticks/FireTVs as well because who needs Prime with so many streaming options plus, everyone out there offers free shipping these days.
  • As a Project Manager for a large contractor specializing in the high end second home market, how could I recommend a Ring system to a cliant with such major compatibility issues? People want to use the gadgets they love and they want them to work together and they don’t care why they don’t work. They do know they’re never listening to that guy who recommend it again. No chance to explain, they just stop calling. I’m not loosing business over your titfortat nonsense with competitors and I’m definitely never calling that guy who recommended Ring to me!
  • That I should even have to explain this is asinine.
  • End Rant

Did you know that Wink is now going to charge you? Yep, pay up or you lose. Great company there…

The main feature I’m personally wanting to see implemented for use between Google Home, and Ring is for Google Home to be able to announce when someone rings the doorbell, and possibly the ability to talk to the person who rang it.

I paired my Doorbell with Google Home, thinking this core functionality would be available, but am disappointed to see that it is not.

So, Ring is not compatable with Google Home or Nest, right?

Yes I can’t believe it myself :confounded:

Seriously … please hurry up and fix this issue

At least make Google Home device chime when Ring doorbell pressed

Ideally, let us see Ring video on the Google Home device

Is sorry added yet for integration with Google home display so that when someone presses the doorbell, it will automatically show up and be able to be answered in a Google display suck as a Google Home Hub Max?

How is this listed as SOLVED?

All we need is Ring to send CHIME to Google Home devices. But I guess that would halt sales on the actual Chime device they sell.

Ring used to be great, now I felt like I bought a piece of propretariy system that wants vendor lock in. SAD.

Any news on ring enabling update ?

Simply disgraceful that the priority of chime sales is the main reason why ring is refusing to integrate into a main smart home automation provider like Google.

Shameful strategic thinking. Consumers should not be a victim of greedy trade wars.

Just bought a Ring doorbell and Ring Security on the prime day offer as it appeared to be compatible with Google home. It seems this compatibility has been removed recently which is absolute garbage - the devices are all going back to Amazon/Ring, no reason consumers should put up with this kind of nonsense.
