Hi. Yes, to talk back in forth you would either use the app on your phone or set up your amazon alexa devices. Using the alexa device is easier in my experience because when your door bell rings you can just ask any of your alexa devices to answer the door. With the app I think you need to open it and find the button on screen which could be more time consuming. If I have any of this wrong someone please correct me.

I’m sure can get someone like my Dad who is an electrical engineer to wire the doorbell up or someone from the condo association or hire someone to do it. So excuse me if this has already been answered from others; but, take it that can talk back and forth through the system when someone rings the doorbell? Thanks.

I had someone sighted do that for me. Actually, I had a professional do it for me. I think that’s all you would need, accept I went further by purchasing a wireless chime that was place upstairs so if the doorbell was rang then it could be heard in every echo in the house plus your smart phone. It’s been several years ago since I bought the equipment. Ring Chime Pro - $44.99 Ring Video Doorbell 2 - $134.99 Installation was $58.49. Just remember this was 3 years ago. Hope that helps.

How accessible would you like it to be? I also use the Ring doorbell and I have it integrated with everybody’s iPhone who lives in the house plus our Echo devices. Any time anyone nears our house porch we receive announcements that it detected motion. If someone rings the doorbell we have the option to either pick it up via the Ring app on our iPhones or the Alexa by simply asking Alexa to answer doorbell. For those who can see can activate the camera on their phones and see who is at the door. Unfortunately, it doesn’t identify the person for me yet. I’m hoping that’s near in the future with the advancement of AI. But for now I love it since we are notified any time we have a package dropped off and if anyone is home then we can immediately retrieve it. I’m not sure how it integrates with the Google Home, but with the Echo devices you can download, what they call a Skill with the Alexa app and as long as you have a Ring account establish then you can sign into the Ring Skill and integrate it with your Echo. It’s pretty awesome! Hope that helps some!
