Thank you so much Robin for letting us know. I got my dot answering all my cameras now. For those just starting, be sure you let your devices be discoverable through the skill, not through devices. On 2/27/20, Robin Frost wrote: > Hi, > > I believe they rolled this out around November.  It

Hi, I believe they rolled this out around November.  It worked with my 2nd gen dot before I upgraded. Like I said sometimes I've found more times than not lately that if a skill is acting funny disabling and re-enabling it might cause things to link up

So I just set up the ring.com skill with my dot, and when I say "talk to the front door" alexa says it doesn't support that. Any ideas? I would love to have this skill work. On 2/27/20, Robin Frost wrote: > Hi, > > I just wanted to chime in and say that you can use any Amazon Echo now it > need

It's gotten better and is pretty much completely accessible at this point. It's connected to your home WIFI. This is where having a good solid connection matters. The Ring doorbell Pro I got I bought back in 2017. It started to give me problems after a year. Buffering, dropping etc. I just
