Ring Alarm + Amazon Alexa Tips & Tricks - Integrating Your Ring Alarm with Echo Devices
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 май 2020
- Today, I'm going to tell you some tips and tricks that you can use when you have a Ring Alarm and you have integrated it with Amazon Alexa / Echo devices. With Alexa set up, you will be able to arm or disarm (needs 4 digit passcode) your Ring Alarm by voice.
You can also set up Alexa Guard which is a feature of all echo devices where they will listen for Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms and also glass breakage. If they hear one of those triggers, you will get an alert on your phone so that you can verify and you can then send an alert to Ring so that they can dispatch help if needed.
Alexa Guard also has a Away Lighting feature in which if Alexa Guard is armed, it can turn ON or OFF your specified smart lights at random times making it look like somebody is home.
Another thing that you can do is set up routines in Alexa and you can have her announce which sensor or door or window has been opened so that you will have a verbal confirmation which sensor was triggered through your echo devices.
Ring's versatility of their sensors which you can install them to monitor not just your house but your other properties like the backyard shed in my case and our vehicles and get Alexa to announce when those sensors are triggered.

I almost didn’t watch this video because I was afraid it would trigger my devices but you sir are a genius
Ikr
This is the reason why I have been part of the echo and Amazon echo system from the beginning. Now IMO they are ahead of the smart home game and device integration because Amazon could see where it was headed. And videos like yours help the people that may not be savvy enough to understand the potential better understand it!
Thank You. I appreciate it.
I was stubborn and was trying this with Google/Homeseer. Ive made the switch to echo within the last few months and plan to get ring on black Friday! My automation wants are simple: not wifi and voice controlled. next year ring cameras to seal the deal. Cant beat the value. Amazon is killing it.
@@LifeHackster Is there an option ? I can Arm or Disarm , Ring alarm and Alexa app the same time
You sir are a life saver I was on the phone with Alexa tech for an hour finally hung up and found this, you talked a little fast (thank God for rewind ) but it's WORKING Thanks
You sir, are amazing. I am shocked at the complete lack of good references out there for what seems like basic stuff!
This particular episode was so very helpful to me, as I was one of those people complaining about not having voice announcements for the ring security sensors, I have written to so many people, including Ring, with no help. Now A lot of people said use the Alexa, but I could not get precise instructions on how to do that, well you have, and I thank you, I still wish the ring system it self would do voice announcements, but I got it to work with Alexa, thanks to you, and I kinda like it. I have been following you since I found you, and enjoy your episodes.
You are more than welcome.. :)
Yes, this episode was particularly helpful to me as well...A+ LifeHackster!
I've only just picked up this system and the more I'm learning the more I'm in love.
I have been on the fence about getting the Ring alarm system. This video along with your other comprehensive video on the Ring alarm system convinced me to buy it! I will be using your videos as a guide. Thank you so much for making these videos! No one else come close to you in making informative videos!
I gotta say, the amount of work you did to make sure people that have smart devices didn't get their devices triggered by the video deserves a like... and I don't even currently have smart devices.
"Your truck is being ransacked" 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you.
Pro move at 6:40 - Goes out during gale-force winds. This is why you’re awesome. Excellent video as usual, and thanks!
The capabilities of the ring alarm system continue to amaze me.
Thank you so much for all your tips. We just installed the ring 2 alarm system today and Alex A lol is saying all the right things thanks to you😊
This video was excellent. I am currently switching from a three contract to this system and I love the Alexa integration and your tips are like secret intel. Thank you and I look forward to more tips and tricks!
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Wow, very cool intergration with Ring alarm and Alexa echo. Thx 4 sharing on the internet. Keep on designing smarthouse.
Thanks, will do!
I have been doing that for a while now. ever since ring updated their skill with Alexa that included the sensors that the alarms use. I’ve also done one better and have strategically mounted echo dots outside my house in my porch light fixture and in my driveway and when the ring cameras detect movement at certain early hours of the morning it will tell whatever is triggered the movement to stay away from my vehicles the cameras recording. Or to stay away from my house to the cameras recording. It also tells solicitors to stay away.
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing the tip...
So does that mean if I have the motion sensor setup in my garage and hook up an echo to it will it setup of an audible alarm ? that's what I'm looking for like a high Pitched noise to scare them off.
@@jav9888 I did that. I found a high pitch alarm sound effect and you can either have Alexa play it on command you want to any echo device or have it triggered by motion. I put the echo device in my garage and before the sound effect plays Alexa turns up the volume on the echo to max volume.
@@csidba OH WOW can send me the link thanks !! or the how to
I personally think that the integration is great. Great video
I think so too!
Thanks for this video! The announcements from Alexa is what sold me on this system. Not sure if this was mentioned in previous comments but you can set up identical reminders (Example: Front door announcement - assigned to Kitchen Echo, Front door announcement 2 - assigned to Master Bedroom Echo, etc) for other Alexa devices in the case you want the announcements to happen in multiple rooms. Pretty cool feature! Your videos are always very helpful and informative. Thank you!
Oh thanks for the FYI with multiple devices by adding a "2" behind it. I feel silly for not thinking of that
@valerie1556 you're welcome. Glad it was helpful.
Loved this! Exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t know the voice option was only available through Alexa. Thanks a ton! Headed to Amazon 😁🔊

The use of the motion sensor in your vehicle was pretty smart I like your creativity.
Omg. That’s excellent!,,, “Your car is being ran sacked”. I’m going to have to set my Alexa to my ring where it talks!
Thank You... yes.. you can let alexa say anything..
AMAZING! This is the video that I was waiting for since I’ll be buying it
Thank You. I appreciate it.
Great video and I have set up some of the routines you suggested. I just wish I could select more than one device to make the announcement without doing multiple routines.
You can use the "messaging" instead of "alexa says"
Two problems with routines & announcements. Limited to one device, so if your not near that device you might not hear the announcement. Routines do not have their own volume setting. Announcements use current device volume set, so could be quiet or ear popping.
You can use "messaging" option instead of alexa says... and you can select any or all of your echo devices... As to volume setting.. you can also just assign 1 device.. like an echo dot for just announcements.. place it in the middle of the house and with full volume on...
Very useful information, thanks. The Ring motion sensor in your truck will automatically disconnect when the dirt bags that broke in, throw it in their backpack and run away...lol
True... I'll probably stick it to the cover though..so it is not noticeable.
Ayos Pare! Thank you for sharing this information- I will be using your tips to arm my new house soon!
Thanks for this! I’ve been looking at your videos to try and decide between the Ring alarm and the Eufy one and this video has sealed my decision
This was a great video, one of your best. The routine options for doors and windows I didn't know that could be done. I definitely will have to watch this video a few times to set that up.
I like the motion sensor in the truck. Great idea!
Thank you.
Very smart with the truck motion sensor. Thanks for the ideas.
great video, I look forward to the update when new updates to Ring come out
Excellent video. We need more like this. Thanks!
Thank You.
Very useful vid - some great ideas! Now, what I’d *really* like is when a Ring Alarm sensor is triggered, a camera looking at the sensor (which sort I wonder?) would display the alarmed area on an Echo Show that I can see from my bed. (Ideally it would be dark screen until the cam feed pops up). Even better would be showing that on another Echo show as well!
was looking for a announcement video and yours came up first Boy was I glad..perfect mate... you da man !!!
Thanknyou for the video. This was VERY HELPFUL
Glad it was helpful!
Very Good, informative and well explained how-to-do-it, Ring Alarm Tips and tricks/Alexa integration... (too Many commercials...)
Thank you... as to the ads..RUclips does that automatically and they have been putting 2ads now..sorry about that..
Thank you for making this video! It was super helpful and and just super awesome!
Excellent review of integrating Ring and Alexa with routines. I just got ring at home and using routines to turn on lights in the back yard when any doors in the front are opened or people detection via cameras is triggered. I plan to get a simple wifi battery alarm to use instead of my Ring flood lights. Lots of flexibility. Also, I thought I saw some Wyze devices in your Alexa routines and I'm interested to know if you have to use a Wyze bridge to alexa device for these inexpensive sensors to work. That would make a good RUclips review. Thanks.
great video helped me with the new install and gave me ideas where to add sensors. now thats thinking outside the box
That last one about the car sounds really helpful. I’m going to try that for sure.
Nice idea on the PIR sensor in the vehicle. Still wish they make a glass break sensor though.
They do now
Thank you for posting this informative video. Stay safe.
Thanks, you too!
So much great info! Thank you so much!
You are welcome.
I set up a couple of Ring routines to trigger, and Alexa is not making the announcements. Any idea what is wrong? I would appreciate any thoughts. Thank you. 😊
Dude you are the man! I'm going to drive my wife crazy now 😜🤪 thank you so much
I just got the ring 2nd gen keypad as well as the dome siren. Really glad I upgraded those? You should make a video on the dome siren as there’s no good videos on them right now. :)
I have to check it out..eventually.. the base station siren is loud enough for our house anyways...
LifeHackster I bought two more to place on either side of the house so neighbors can hear an alarm if they go off. They’re 27 dollars with the protect plus plan. If you live where it doesn’t get super hot you can place it in the garage to make it louder for the outside
Just wanted to say enjoy your videos very much very informative thanks
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Insightful information thank you for sharing. I just set up command routines.
Nice Job,Thank you for sharing. I found this very helpful.
Iv been looking at this alarm for awhile now, just wish the monitoring worked as it should in the uk, insted of calljng one of 3 numbers you give it
This is great. I cant wait for it to come out in the uk
Thanks...
I love the Alex-A
Thanks for the great video. I tried to set up the routine announcement but it says not supported. I have the ring security system. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hi, I wanted to know if it was possible for you to connect a shelly that supplies power to a siren only when the alarm is armed and there is an actual intrusion of someone into the house
Thanks is there a way to activate all ring camera sirens if you don’t have the Ring Alarm?
Have a question for you maybe you can answer. Watched your recent video on tips with the ring system and Alexa and was wondering can I add the same action to more then one like can I have the same routine go to my echo show and my echo show 5 as well. Thanks for all your info
Yes, use the “messaging” option instead of “Alexa says”..
“Alex-a” LOLz
crazy he still calls it that when he knows the correct pronunciation.
Love your channel. Any work around to add extra siren to Ring? The Ring approved dome siren isn’t loud enough, thx E
What about ring with google home ? I’ll be able to hear “the front door it’s been open “? Thank you
I wish Ring would sell Honeywell wireless sensors retrofit or support Andersen Verilock Translator.
Can you please help if you have 2:42 the same problem. I have routine setup for years, July the voice routines stop playing when the door opens. I went through the same setup process, but when I opened the door, the voice notification doesn't play. The voice notification will play in the alexa app but not when the door is opened.
Superb Video and Channel - put in good lay persons language that non techie's / security gadgers can understand - well done
Absolutely awesome video. FYI you can also do this with any sensor that's Alexa compatible. For example I am using a smartthings contact sensor
It does the job. Excellent product.
Thank bro. You helped us with setup.
How many Ring Alarm installations can you control within the Alexa app? I was thinking of having one for each of my properties (at different addresses).
Great video - very informative 👍
LifeHackster you should do a refresh video on the the contact sensors because I tried so many attempts I just gave up. Maybe there's an update that makes it no longer functional to name the contacts sensors.
My routines still work..I have my sensors named back door and it announces every time I open it.
I had all my devices connected which by the way..your amazing now they all say device not supported. Called support he says it should work. Do anyone know what's wrong. I have Echo show 5 , 4 ..total 5 devices.
Philips smart lightbulb and ring contact Sensor
Very helpful! Just got my Alex-A set up. :-)
I like the ring keypad 2nd generation
Me too..
Thanks for your video! I have a google home ecosystem but love the ring system over nest. Any recommendations on how I should set up my home? I'd like to keep google assistant but want to fully utilize the nest. I was thinking of maybe getting some echo shows dedicated for the security system. Which devices would you recommend? Would it be easier to just fully switch over to Alexa?
Nice video... One question can I schedule, arming of the system at night and disarming in the morning through Alexa?
I don’t think you can do scheduling on the arming/disarming..
You can schedule to arm, but to disarm it needs a code, so can't do it by routine. I have setup a "good night" routine that turns off my lights, locks the front door, and arms the ring to "Arm Stay". I have a keypad next to my bed so that when I wake up I can disarm the system by entering the code. You can disarm by voice by asking Alexa to turn off the alarm (disarm) but it will ask you for the code. NOTE: You'll need to enable the voice feature in the Ring app.
I’m going to guess Wyze? Love my Wyze products and they work so effortlessly with Alexa!
I think it’s Philip hue and the ring motion that you used in ur Ford F-150 pickup truck!
Sorry.. nope... it was all Wyze..
Some really good tips, thanks.
Hi big hug from puerto rico any update or way to use exterior siren on ring? Im trying whit smart plug and if this then that no luck.
I haven't tried different brand of sirens yet. I still have the now discontinued Ring outdoor siren and I'm hoping they will release a new version soon.
@@LifeHackster on a honeywell sys i had a smart plug drivin a 12v power supply to drive a siren insin if there then that but whit ring no luck my only esterior siren is the ring cameras gracias por la ayuda.
Great info to configure
Glad it was helpful!
I learned alot , I wished I had seen this before I brought the simple and doesn't do what I want as ring. Is ring cameras only one that can be used for monitoring service for recordings
Great video. Can I just buy the outdoor sensor for my shed and just connect it to my alexa for notifications? Or do I have to buy the base station also?
You need the base station.
thank you
Great review. I love the car and shed alerts. I'm gonna do that!!!!
Thanks for your help. Had to get the last sensor to announcement and I forgot the last two steps.
I can’t get Alexa to announce the door is open. I set up a routine but it doesn’t trigger a response. Amazon customer support said it only will work if the alarm is set. I didn’t see that in your video.
Thanks. Wyze bulb & sensor.
Yes, they are but a bit late... next time.
I tried setting up the routine the same way you did to allow Alexa to announce when the front door has been opened. Any idea how to fix this or what went wrong?
Hello Being in Europe I don't think that Alexa Guard is possible , anyway I have a alexa Dot but don't see the feauture Guard on it, and is only available in the states by subscription
Thank you for this video helped alot
Question? If someone triggers your ring alarm system can you make Alexa turn on lights ?Thanks
I just got my Alexas and the RING alarm system, do you know if the PIR sensor on the keypad can trigger an alam if it detects movement? I’ve always wondered if the tiny motion sensor on the keypad can trigger an alarm. Edit: is it possible to arm the glass and smoke alarm detection on stay mode? Just imagine you’re home and in the middle of the night someone breaks glass in, why wouldn’t ring protect you then?
Thank you. Really enjoyed this.
Is it possible to have Alexa make an announcement if a window sensor is opened or closed. For example of a kitchen window or a door sensor is active Alexa makes an announcement..? Kitchen window opened.. And then I found your section about routines lol thanks dude.
Love the way you say Alex Eh
Thank you man! 💯
Ring is coming out with a car alarm system next year. If triggered will record video inside and outside of car.
Third Reality sensor and Ring light bulb.
Nope...both wyze's
Your back light flood lights ? I'd that by Ring ??? Love this video you did. Thanks
Saving this video for when ours come fathers day
Can you have the announcement announce on all the Echo devices or does it only allow on 1 echo device? I have a large home with multiple Alexa/echo devices and would like the announcement to announce on all the Alexa devices throughout the house at the same time. HELP
Will you review the new Ring Video Doorbell second generation when it comes out next month?
I haven’t heard about the Pro 2 yet..
Thanks for your awesome videos. Do you know if 3rd party z-wave sensors added to Ring's alarm, are advertised to Alexa to be used in routines? Thanks for your time.
How might you go about setting up devices to trigger just from an action without having to ask anything so it works away from an APP? Example home alarm set away triggers smart plug on, disarmed turns the plug off?
Wow the car too?! What’s the distance the sensor can communicate with the device?
