Title: Successfully got alexa show to instantly show doorbell
Post by: jvk of md on November 30, 2020, 08:29:05 am

Just got this to work this past weekend....

First add a routine to alexa

Then choose device ( doorbell name)

Next choose (you have the option of doorbell rings or senses motion)

Add "Custom" .... typing  "show me the (named view like front door)"  (this will auto add alexa, to it)

Next choose which device(s) to show on.

It's been working good... I chose motion because it still takes a few seconds to connect and motion should occur before anyone actually gets to the doorbell.

Good to know. Thanks for the input. I may need this for the old people at my house so they'll quit trying to wear out the carpet between the door and the den in the back of the house.
