    I would like to setup a system for an elderly parent. There are a few things that are important. Voice calling and receiving phone calls, scheduled regular TV shows, scheduled Zoom meetings, the ability to fix things remotely and to send pictures.

    You can have the Echo Show 15, or any Echo Show, display a camera view when motion is detected by setting up a routine for a supported camera, by using the "Custom" action feature.
    For example, in the New Routine setup press "When this happens", select "Smart Home". Choose a supported camera, select "Motion", select "Detected", press "Next". Press "Add Action", select "Custom". Enter "show [camera name]", for example, show Front Door. Press "Next". Press "Choose Device", select the Echo Show that you want the view to displayed on, then press "Save".
    I should add that the [camera name] should be spelled exactly as it is in the Alexa app including upper/lower case.

  • @jezwalter2440
    @jezwalter2440 2 года назад +6

    Very informative, thanks.
    I don't currently have an Alexa with screen but use Alexa to directly control any browser on any device. It certainly looks like the 'Show' range would also work with it. It also works with Occulus and allows full Alexa control of that browser too. Launching videos, web pages and even performing web searches. I use this browser system around my pool table to play & stack my chosen music videos onto large screen TV's. Just reel out all of the track numbers you want Alexa to stack, just like a jukebox. If this is of interest, I'd be more than happy to guide you through the setup so that you can use all of this yourself. This goes well beyond just 'Turn it on' and 'Turn it off'. Great video.

    @TJWhiteStar 2 года назад +7

    If you want to show a camera when motion happens (if Ring supports it like Eufy) then you could maybe use a Routine like I do. If motion is detected I get it to the command "Alexa Show Front Doorbell Camera" and it works. I have another routine that triggers with motion that starts with a wait 2 mins then runs "Alexa Stop showing Front Doorbell Camera" (this is for if the person I set it up for is not home I know it'll at least turn it off after 2mins)

      Yes, the newer model has more capabilities e.g. integrated smart features, to include voice activation for routines and quick routines. The obvious way to tell if you have the latest model is the old one has the camera on the left of the frame while the newer one is in the centre 👍

    Need your advice. Would the Echo Show 15 be a good choice for being a CLOCK and WEATHER display for a living room? Or would it make more sense to get a 15" monitor and attach Fire Stick? I intend to place this on a stand seated on a shelf on the wall.

    Does this have the ability to add more than one widget of the same type? If I have say 2 separate "to do" lists or 2 separate "shopping lists" can I have 2 or does it not allow that? If it doesn't, I might be able to avoid the problem by doing one of the lists as a picture (to be specific, we have a list in the kitchen of what food is available in the freezer downstairs so it probably only changes once a week) if there is an easy way to add/delete images (I do have Prime). Help?

How do I know which devices are still able to work with Alexa and which are using the Zigbee protocol? For example, if I choose to use Ring cameras and the alarm system, smart Yale locks, Ecobee thermostats and smart lighting? Am I still able to have Alexa lock doors, change temperature, activate the alarm, etc? Or do those use the Zigbee protocol and I’m forced to get the Echo Show 10?

    Can someone answer me TWO very simple questions: When in photo mode - does the photo mode stay on indefinietly and does it have stupid watermark text in the corner of the photo mode? My stupid Echo show 5 has photo mode but always has water marks saying - "ask Alexa - when was this photo taken" etc.) I have unticked every single option in the settings menus to turn off recommendations to no avail. The whole reason I want to buy an echo show 15 is to use it as a frame 1st and smart device 2nd... i dont want widgets popping up or stupid "recommendations" that effectively ruin the photo frame experience.

    I have issues with my echo show 15 and Amazon customer service is no help so I was hoping maybe you might know how to solve my problem. As of several days ago my Show 15 won’t stay on the Home Screen. After 20 seconds it launches Photo Frame. I’ve given up trying to get it to stop since nothing works - factory reset, latest software, no Routines triggering it. I even gave customer support remote access to my device and they couldn’t fix it. Unlike you say in your video, my Photo Frame does display the time and temperature so I decided I would live with it. However I cannot change the length of time photos are displayed. They only stay on screen for 10 seconds. The setting to change the speed doesn’t affect Photo Frame. Can you offer any suggestions? Thanks

    I am soooooo done buying Echo Show devices. The software and capabilities are what is killing it for me. Seems like they could easily build Firestick software in my show devices which would enable so much more functionality including apps, like being a small TV with an integrated Firestick. Year after year, software update after software update, no change in functionality. Having a screen is just slightly better than an Echo Dot for me.

      On Amazon devices restricting downloads to their app store it is usually possible to "sideload apps" (search for tutorials) . This workaround goes way back to their "locked in" Kindle devices, so I guess sideloading works on the Echo show line as well.
