The Ring Alarm System

The Ring Alarm system is a security system that provides whole home security to give you peace of mind. It comes with a base station, contact sensor, motion detector, keypad, and range extender to keep your home safe!

If there is a certain device that you do not want Alexa to have access to, click the forget button on the right side. This makes the device disappear and Alexa no longer has access to it.

Once the devices are connected to your Alexa and your Ring account is linked, Alexa will require a four-digit code that is spoken to Alexa to assist with the disarming process.

This code being needed is similar to a code being needed on a physical keypad attached to the security system in your house. This code is for safety and should be kept a secret, so only you and your family know how to disarm the alarm system.

Why are There No Ring Devices Showing Up?

On the off chance none of your devices show up once your two accounts are linked, there are a couple of simple ways to fix this. The first option is simply asking Alexa, “Alexa, discover my devices.”

This would have Alexa searching for your devices and then connecting to them. The second option is to click either discover or devices while in the app. The devices should then show up and connect to your Alexa.

Disarming Your Ring Alarm With Alexa

Once you have followed the steps above, your Alexa account and Ring account should be linked together, and you now have the ability to talk to Alexa and arm or disarm your alarm.

Be sure to note that in order to disarm an alarm, there has to be an alarm set. To disarm the alarm, simply ask Alexa: “Alexa, disarm alarm” or “Alexa disarm Ring,” and she will ask you for the four-digit code. Once the code is said, the alarm will disarm.
