I still don’t know why Ring makes it so difficult and complicated to answer a press of the doorbell, it should be like a phone call, you get the notification and you tap an “Answer” button which immediately connects you to your doorbell, activates the microphone and speaker and you can start talking. Unfortunately it is not that way and more often than not the person at my door has gone away by the time I finally connect. And then of course don’t get me started on Alexa, Amazon owns Ring so one would think it should be super easy to answer a doorbell button press with Alexa, but once again it is not unless I am missing something. If Alexa plays a notification on my Echo Show why can’t I say “Answer the doorbell” or “Talk to my front door” or “Connect me to my doorbell”, really one would think that just about anything should work, but it is very specific and finnicky.

RE: ring, blink, or something altogether different
Indeed. We installed our Ring Video Pro four years or so ago and haven’t messed with it since. Regardless of which system you pick though, I think you’ll end up having the same issue. In large part, people just don’t’ really hang around after ringing the doorbell now a days since most things are so home delivery driven. Quick tuck and roll and poof. Gone like a fart in the wind. All in all, I at least have found the Ring to be less useful than I thought it would be. Not useless, but just not as useful.

I still don’t know why Ring makes it so difficult and complicated to answer a press of the doorbell, it should be like a phone call, you get the notification and you tap an “Answer” button which immediately connects you to your doorbell, activates the microphone and speaker and you can start talking. Unfortunately it is not that way and more often than not the person at my door has gone away by the time I finally connect. And then of course don’t get me started on Alexa, Amazon owns Ring so one would think it should be super easy to answer a doorbell button press with Alexa, but once again it is not unless I am missing something. If Alexa plays a notification on my Echo Show why can’t I say “Answer the doorbell” or “Talk to my front door” or “Connect me to my doorbell”, really one would think that just about anything should work, but it is very specific and finnicky.

RE: ring, blink, or something altogether different
Sieghard, what you are saying is exactly what I am trying to avoid. I have definitely decided to send my blink unit back as it appears that to many things have to happen before I can find out whois at my door, the only thing I really wanted to know. Smile!!

RE: ring, blink, or something altogether different
Hi Sarah, The ring app is quite accessible, we have a Ring Pro video doorbell and a stick-up cam pointing into our backyard, but just wait until you actually get into situations when somebody rings the doorbell, you get a notification on your phone and have to try to act on it. I still don’t know why Ring makes it so difficult and complicated to answer a press of the doorbell, it should be like a phone call, you get the notification and you tap an “Answer” button which immediately connects you to your doorbell, activates the microphone and speaker and you can start talking. Unfortunately it is not that way and more often than not the person at my door has gone away by the time I finally connect. And then of course don’t get me started on Alexa, Amazon owns Ring so one would think it should be super easy to answer a doorbell button press with Alexa, but once again it is not unless I am missing something. If Alexa plays a notification on my Echo Show why can’t I say “Answer the doorbell” or “Talk to my front door” or “Connect me to my doorbell”, really one would think that just about anything should work, but it is very specific and finnicky.
