Alexa devices and ring doorbell

Hi all

Hope someone can help me.

Ring can't and have suggested I contact amazon. I've been sat on a live chat for an hour and an advisor has joined the conversation but not responded.

I have echo devices around the house and a ring doorbell. I have a chime also that goes with the ring doorbell.
All connected fine.

My issue is how do I get the voice to stop speaking and just hear the chimes? Is there a way to stop the device in my daughters bedroom getting notifications?

Tia

I never knew that I needed to know this but now I do too 😂

Following. New to echo and purchased a light to go with it. Next on the list is a ring doorbell

@LadyCatStark

I got through to them on the chat just now.

It can't be done. It's chimes and voice or nothing.

Hi, not sure if this helps, but on the alexa app on my phone, under devices, I activated 'do not disturb'.

I too got fed up of 'motion detected' !

@thetimeisnow

You are a genius.

It works. Can only hear the chime.
No voice saying motion detected at the form door from all over the house and it still notifies me on my phone.

Thank you 😊

thetimeisnow · 10/07/2020 18:27

😊 no I don't, but welcome any offers to!

At least you should email them and advise them you did what they said couldn't be done!
