What can you do with Ring products and Alexa?

You get different capabilities depending on which Alexa device you're using. If you have an Echo Show or another device with a screen (including a Fire TV), you can say, "Alexa, show the front door" to see what your front entryway looks like. The same goes for any cameras you have around the house.

If you don't have an Echo Show or another device with a screen, you can do some things with your smart speaker and the Ring Video Doorbells. Ring just updated its skill so you can use your Echo speaker to hold a two-way conversation using your Ring's microphone and speaker.

Again, you can also add some capabilities with a $40 Fire TV if you don't want to shell out the extra coin for an Echo Show. You would use your Echo speaker to say, "Alexa, show the front door", and have your video come through your television. If you have a Fire TV Cube — which features its own microphones for Alexa commands — or any of the Fire TVs that include a microphone on the remote for Alexa commands, you can use this with your voice to display your camera feed.
