i have the arlo video doorbell 2k. echo show 5 and 8. and arlo base VMB5006. all are at the latest release levels.
Here is the issue.
1. I say Alexa answer doorbell and it works. no problems
2 Hide the doorbell again it closes the doorbell
So Far so good
Now the issue.
Someone rings the doorbell, chimes work.. But asking “ alexa answer doorbell “ returns Alexa famous line “doorbell is not responding”
Question to all.
I suspect that since the doorbell is recording the video to cloud/base station that it is incapable of streaming to the echo show device
if that is the case. Then Arlo needs to find a solution. The objective is to see who is at the door and record.
the same behavior happens if motion detected. But I get the announcement of motion being detected. As long as arlo is recording.
for information only.
I Have silent mode on with Traditional chime is on. This is the only way I can keep arlo from calling my phone (another feature that needs a separate switch) call me or not. Yes I can put arlo on my call block list, again just clunky work around for a feature that needs to be enabled or disabled on its own. Yes my setup stops the doorbell announcement. Hence the motion announcement
Is there a way to stream the video to alexa while it’s recording?
I wish there was a function matrix for arlo. Would mark life easier

Is this result reproducible 100% of the time or is the issue intermittent?
