Yes, you can conveniently arm and disarm your Ring devices with voice commands for Alexa and a compatible Echo device. Ring Alarm and all Ring Alarm accessories require a compatible Ring subscription (sold separately) for digital arming/disarming and certain other in-app features. Arming and disarming your Ring Alarm with Alexa: Step 1: Enable the Ring Alexa Skill. Open the Alexa app. If you don’t have it, install it on your mobile device. Go to Skills & Games in the main menu. Search for Ring and tap Enable. Sign in to your Ring account to link it with Alexa. Your Ring devices should connect automatically. If you don’t want a particular device to connect, tap Forget. Step 2: Set a passcode for Disarming. In the Alexa app, tap Devices and then All Devices to view the list of your devices. Select the device that you want to arm and disarm using your voice. Under Settings, toggle on Disarm by Voice. You will be prompted to setup a 4-digit passcode. Step 3: Set a Passcode for Disarming To arm your Ring Alarm, say: “Alexa, arm Ring.” Once armed, Alexa will respond with: “Ring is armed in home/away mode.” To check the status, say: “Alexa, is Ring armed?”. To disarm, say: “Alexa, disarm Ring,” and provide your four-digit passcode when prompted. Arming Ring Alarm using an Alexa Routine: 1. Open the Alexa app on your mobile device. 2. Tap More in the bottom right corner. 3. Tap Routines, then tap the plus sign (+) to create a New Routine. 4. Enter a routine name (i.e. "Arm Ring Alarm") and then tap Next. 5. Tap When This Happens, select Voice, enter your desired phrase (i.e., “Alexa, goodnight”). 6. Tap Action, then Add Action, and set the action to arm your Ring Alarm. 7. Test the routine by tapping the play button icon, or using the Alexa phrase you set. Note: Arming or disarming the Alarm will be registered as an event in the History section in your Ring and Alexa apps. Arming and disarming your Ring doorbells or cameras with Alexa: Step 1: Enable Modes. Open the Ring app to the main dashboard. Tap more (•••) on the camera you want to access. Tap your device's Settings. Tap Mode Settings. Tap Enable Modes. Select Disarmed, and set the actions you want each of your doorbells and cameras to do in that Mode. Repeat for Home and Away Modes. Step 2: Enable the Ring Alexa Skill. Open the Alexa app. If you don’t have it, install it on your mobile device. Go to Skills & Games in the main menu. Search for Ring and tap Enable. Sign in to your Ring account to link it with Alexa. Your Ring devices should connect automatically. If not, use Try Discovery Again. If you don’t want a particular device to connect, tap Forget. Step 3: Use Voice Commands. To arm or disarm your devices, say: “Alexa, arm Ring” or “Alexa, disarm Ring.” Provide your voice passcode when disarming. Alternatively, use phrases like “Alexa, I’m leaving” or “Alexa, I’m home” to change the mode for your devices.
