Hi Steve! Thanks for the great info!
Is there a way to put one at the end of our driveway? We don't get wifi out there but we do have electric.

[astroboy]

Great video...actually learned about new features....tks

[barbaralogan]

Hello. Thanks great info! I have a Ring video pro 2 and I was wondering how can I get it to stay on live video at all times?

[antycher]

Your second feature is great for those with little or no hearing. Ring doorbell - flash lights. Brilliant. My wife is deaf so am doing this now.

[ThomasShue]

Will that motion alert work with the Google home mini. I hate the Amazon Alexa stuff.

[dankelley]

Steve, nice job on setting up automations with a few of the motor popular video doorbells. IFTTT has some nice integration, but now with them charging a monthly costs, pretty much eliminated them from the mix!

Hi, I just watched your video and although I'm sure it's good if you have those devices, what can I do to connect my Ring doorbell to Google Home Hub? Is it even possible? I'm not able to find anyone who can answer this question. Thank you.

[DeeitsMeStudio]

oh my, I have the exact same stone front, can you please tell me/explain how/what you used to hang the ring doorbell?

[JSmooth]

Will you do a video on how to set up a Nest door bell to show on TVs please?

[melvinpetcare]

Do I need to buy a chime? Or I can only use the Alexa show 5? Sorry new with all this

[jesusonwheels]

I have an Arlo Doorbell and like the idea of a small screen for my daughter to see who is at the door. Any suggestions on possible setup? Would I just look for a very small screen with HDMI for a Chromecast? What worries me is that the small screen would need to be switched on 24/7, yet is only used for a few seconds every day on average...

[csidba]

Thanks for the information. Just not sure why you're not just using the routines in the Alexa app instead of IFTTT. I agree that IFTTT is useful for more complex if, then routines, but for the examples you gave in the video I didn't see any that couldn't have done easier, faster and cheaper in the Alexa app....i.e. If the doorbell rings blink a light, etc.

Nest has the package detection as well I love the nest

[fireblood]

Hi Steve I have some Arlo cameras and when the batteries were dead I took them down to charge and when I plugged them in I got a lightning bolt and I left it charged for hrs and suggestions

[Juliogonzalez-mqhx]

Hi can I display my door bell Vivint pro in my smart Sony tv?

[dave-]

I have an Eufy doorbell and it works really well the only complaint I have is the battery life, tends to need to be recharged more often than I’d like. Other than that very happy with it. The Eufy has package protection.

[Prinxemike]

Can we still access them when we are not home for example like at work?

[Marie-tsrp]

Hi Steve thanks! Will Ring wireless doorbell pick up whoever is littering on my lawn as my home is on a corner 30ft to road. Any suggestions? Just orfered Simplisafe sys after your vid.

[travismayes]

I got a question. I have the Arlo Ultra 4K cameras and my Google Home goes off every time someone is detected. I love it. how can I get it to cast to my TV every time someone is detected it already cast when I say the hot word to the google home

[Maillady]

So, can you use lights that use the Amazon Smart plugs for the ring?
