So, your Ring doorbell isn’t just a fancy peephole anymore—it’s now got a personal assistant! That’s right, folks! Enter Alexa Plus, the newest resident AI in your smart home that can roll out the red carpet for visitors, or at least offer a snappy greeting.
Amazon’s latest upgrade allows Alexa to actually see who’s ringing your doorbell (because why wouldn’t you let a digital assistant have eyes?) and respond like it’s been trained for a sitcom. It can identify visitors, figure out whether they’re there to drop off a pizza or sell you questionable vacuum cleaners, and then interact with them using natural language. You know, like a polite but slightly confused host!
This nifty feature, which dropped on December 18, is compatible with the Ring Video Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) and the Ring Video Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen). Just keep in mind that you’ll need a Ring subscription, which feels like the digital equivalent of paying the cover charge to get into the club.
In a time when our gadgets are getting smarter but somehow still can’t make our morning coffee without instructions, it’s refreshing to see a leap in smart home technology that aims to make your life a little easier. So whether you’re trying to avoid a surprise visit from Aunt Mildred or just want to interact with the delivery person in style, Alexa Plus has got your back. Now, if only it could help with that pesky Wi-Fi signal…
