Any update on this feature? I've just installed a ring door bell and this would be great to have.

I have it wokring on my Fire HD10 with an Alexa Routine. Named it Answer Door When: Front Doorbell is Pressed, Alexa Will (last action in List), view front doorbell. It also lets you pick which device to display it on. Doesn't work on non fire Androids. And it doesn't appear that the voice answer will work. I get the dreaded "Front Door does not support that". Fortunatly I have a dot nearby, so I created another routine to hae the dot talk to the door. Wish this wasn't such a science experiment.

cant believe 1 year later we are still with the same thing, I mean really... basically using home assistant and a wall mounted tablet and the fact I can pop ring video feed up without a massive code work around with either tasker or ring feed python script (which for some reason is easier to source with applehomekit setup!) ... its really should be as simple as installing app, and selecting allow auto pop up of live view on doorbell press if armed status set to home on ANY DEVICE... not just a echo show!

I have the same issue with 2020 Firetab and 2020 Ring Doorbell. Main reason to get these were to have the Firetab as a door monitor when someone rings the bell. Unfortunately, auto show has never worked. I finally managed to update Alexa as it wasn't updating automatically by messing around with location and VPN. I am in NZ and both items were sourced locally therefore I assumed all features would work as advertised. When installing Ring skill, the device displays a message that all devices with a screen can now show live video - nope, still does not work. If anyone can get this working without major script writing and buying more devices to get this going let us know please!

I actually have this now but the way I have it is just plain silly, I basically have had to make a virtual button in my home assistant that detects the door bell press, then this triggers a home assitant skill that sends notify to fire tablet of alexa show me the front door..... ROFLMAO Really RING to get live view to auto open on door bell press on fire tablet I need to use a whole different eco system for it to play nice...... if it was so not awful that this should be auto option in 2021 it would be comical

I can't believe how useless is Ring. 🤦🏻‍♂️ How can you make a feature so important available only on Echo Shows? So people can buy your Echo Shows? I can't believe...just bought a FireHD10 but will return it now. 🤮
