How to make Ring work with Alexa

Once you’ve installed your Ring doorbell and it’s up and running, open the Alexa app on your phone.

This is the process for linking your Ring account with Alexa:

Tap More > Skills & GamesTap the magnifying glass icon (top right) and search for RingTap on Ring in the list of results and then tap ENABLE TO USEYou’ll see the Ring login page, so enter your email address and passwordTap Authorize when told that Alexa needs permission to access your Ring accountYou should see confirmation that your doorbell is linked.

Now that’s done, you need to enable notifications so you hear a noise when someone rings the doorbell.

That’s it. Now you can press the doorbell to check that it’s all working. If you have an Echo Show you should see the video feed appear after a few seconds of pressing the button.
