Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus (EU) works with Alexa: you see, hear and speak to visitors through an Echo or Fire TV device. Ring doesn't confirm Apple Home, Google Home or SmartThings for it, and there's no Matter claim. It joins home Wi-Fi with no hub, and runs on a removable battery or an existing doorbell transformer.
