Announcement on echo Hub with Ring doorbell
Hello everyone,
I have a Ring Doorbell, an Echo Hub, and a Ring Chime set up together.
Current behavior:
\- When someone presses the Ring Doorbell, the Chime rings.
\- The Echo Hub automatically opens the live camera feed.
So far everything works well.
The only annoying part is that the Echo Hub always loudly says:
«“Someone is at the front door.”»
After doing some research, I found several posts saying that this announcement cannot be disabled directly. Many people suggested disabling the default notifications completely and instead creating a custom Alexa Routine.
I tried that approach.
My current routine:
\- Trigger: Doorbell pressed
\- Action: “Alexa, show \[camera name\] on Echo Hub”
This works technically, but instead of:
«“Someone is at the front door”»
Alexa now says:
«“Okay”»
It is still a bit frustrating, especially during the evening or when the house is quiet.
What I would like:
\- Ring Chime should still ring
\- Echo Hub should automatically display the live camera feed
\- No voice announcements
\- No confirmation sounds
\- Completely silent automation
Has anyone found a way to fully suppress all Alexa announcements/sounds for this kind of setup?.
Thanks in advance and have a great day!
