Alexa+ Transforms Your Ring Doorbell Into an AI-Powered Virtual Greeter

Imagine this: your doorbell doesn’t just ding—it actually *talks back*. That’s right, thanks to Alexa+, your Ring doorbell can now chat with package deliverers, say “No soliciting” to salespeople, or even greet neighbors by name—all without you lifting a finger. This isn’t sci-fi, it’s real-life AI Integration making your front porch smarter and way more fun.

Using Ring’s video description tech, the doorbell checks out who’s there—looking at what they’re wearing, whether they’ve got a box, or if they’re just casually knocking. It doesn’t recognize faces, so no Big Brother vibes, but it *can* tell if someone’s dropping off a package or trying to sell you vacuum cleaners. Then, boom—Alexa chimes in with a custom reply, all while you’re binge-watching your show, stress-free.

No face recognition, no Big Brother—just smart detection that knows a delivery from a sales pitch and fires off a custom Alexa reply on command.

It works with the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd gen) and other compatible models, but you’ll need an Alexa+ subscription to get the full AI greeter experience. Set it up by linking your Ring and Amazon accounts in the Alexa app, say “Alexa, discover my devices,” and bam—your doorbell is now part of the smart squad. Enable to Use the Ring skill to finalize the connection and ensure seamless communication between devices. Naming it something simple like “Front Door” helps Alexa keep things straight.

You can say things like, “Alexa, show the front door,” and get a video feed on your Echo Show, or “Alexa, talk to front door” to chat with whoever’s there—perfect for telling the delivery guy to leave the pizza by the mat. For additional security coverage, consider pairing with Eufy Floodlight Cam models that provide excellent video quality without subscription fees.

And with routines, your lights can flash when motion’s detected, or all your Echo speakers can announce, “Someone’s at the door!” so you never miss a visitor, even in the shower.

Customize greetings for different scenarios, like a polite “We’re not home” for door-to-door folks, and silence bedroom devices so you’re not woken up at 6 a.m. by a chatty greeter.

This level of Smart Security isn’t just about watching—it’s about interacting, automating, and adding a little humor to everyday moments, like when Alexa tells off a telemarketer with zero chill. Now *that’s* a smart home. All Ring models work seamlessly with Alexa through the Ring skill.
