Hello,
I just added a video (wired) doorbell to my existing Arlo cameras. Installation went fine, thing generally seem to be working but I have an issue with the outgoing message "Please leave a message ..."  It sounds raspy and choppy at times and I'd actually like to be able to turn it off.

My primary question is, how can I set the doorbell to automatically wake up my Echo Show to announce someone is at the door and have it show video? Right now I can say, "Alexa, show front door" and I get a live video feed but it would be nice if it could be automatically triggered by the doorbell, especially when I have my phone alert turned off (since I'm in the house).

THANK YOU for any information.

HI @Eltee

 

At the moment, you must initiate a voice command to have the doorbell start a stream on your device. The Arlo video doorbell can currently announce/ring your Amazon device. You can find more info here: How can I use my Arlo Doorbell with Amazon Alexa?
