Thanks for giving me a sobering reality check!
My reaction time may let the visitor believe I am not home or I don't hear the bell and is about to leave.

Amazon Echo Discussion / Re: Delay of video image on echo show 5 after doorbell press

I installed recently some ring cameras around the house and upgrade my wired doorbell to the ring doorbell to add a little more visual monitoring to the home. Based on the discussions on the forum about the misgivings with amazons tendency to add ads on the show display I was a little hesitant to get the show 5 but felt the functionality with the doorbell would make it still useful. While I went through all the setting to disable the unwanted staff from the display I now struggle to make sense of the long delay before the camera displays on the screen. What delay is commonly observed and is there some setup or hardware limitations that I am running into?

Although a wired camera is a better option, the video is still over WIFI. So get used to a delay. The only way I've seen around all the delay issues, is to install a full time surveillance system with 24 hour camera surveillance... I have 2 of the 15" echo shows (The best of the shows in my opinion). They have really nice video and are just like the smaller Show devices... a n i c e delay.

do you have wyze notifications turned in the phone settings?  also, I am not that familiar with the wyze app but check their app and see if you have notifications enable for it.

I have an Echo 8 and a Wyze Video Doorbell V2 - both at current firmware levels. My iPhone and Echo both react to doorbell rings and get notifications. However, while the iPhone gets motion alerts, the Echo does not show any motion notifications. Why not? Is there some special action that I need to do to link the Wyze motion alerts to my Amazon/Echo account? I can't imagine any technical/programming reason that any notification that the iPhone Wyze app gets can't be passed on to the Echo - either directly or indirectly. I do no want to use a facility such as IFTTT.

All my Zigbee devices are either on HUE or the troubling shades are now on a graywind supplied multi mode gateway supporting wireless protocol: 2.4G Wi-Fi, Zigbee, BLE, & Mesh.

After several months now without a single failure of any zigbee device linked through a separate hub to my echo plus I am now ready to call all the drop failures of direct connected devices to the echo build-in hub caused by the amazon side and hence gives me a degree of satisfaction to have found the route cause of my previous failures to keep my devices consistently operable.

what hub did you get?    I do not use the hub on the echo devices either.   I just make sure whatever smart device I get, it will work with wifi,ring or hue hubs.

Echo Technical Support / Re: Echo Dot 5th gen freezes at command
« Last post by renegade600 on November 22, 2023, 03:48:04 am »
Thanks for responding.....yes, I usually wait about a minute with it unplugged.  I don't normally recycle the router....but tried that after your reply....still happened.

And yes...I checked the firmware.....

It's just odd because it doesn't happen every time.....it's usually once a day for sure, sometimes twice...and once it does it, and the light goes back out, then everything is fine....

I might just end up moving that one to a different location and bringing one of the gen 4 dots back into the bedroom.



moving to a different location could help.   Maybe for a test, move it to the same room as the router to make sure there is not a signal issue or swap it with another device that is not having problems
