A:AnswerYes. Both products needs separate registration of product and account. Need amazon Alexa app to configure and add devices. Plus when you want to connect Ring with Alexa then user needs to give account access of Ring to Alexa.
A:AnswerYes if you have a computer, My mother doesnt have a smart phone, I connected Alexa to her home computer, everything works just fine but.....I have not figured out if its possible to video chat because there isnt a phone connected
A:AnswerYes. Depending on where you get the recipe from.
I personally say Alexa show me 5 star recipes for bla,bla,bla, usually choose something from food network and then Alexa tells me what to do. I can tell her to pause, scroll etc which is super convenient when my hands are covered in food.
