I have numerous Sonos products which are excellent and support Alexa,  I have just purchased a Eufy wireless doorbell which works with Alexa.  As I can only access Alexa through my SONOS equipment, how can I link it to ring on my SONOS / Alexa when the doorbell is pressed.

The only way in which I can get my Ring doorbell to output on Sonos devices is via my Hubitat Hub. My understanding is that Amazon restrict the output to Alexa devices and not Alexa Enabled devices, which is what Sonos devices are.

My Hubitat Hub doesn't have such a restriction,  which implies to me that the restriction is with Amazon rather than Sonos.

Nightmare. Thanks for coming back to me.

 

Should be a simple software fix for them as well, not a lot to ask when we’ve spent over £1k each on their speakers, hey.
