Hi @rwenig. You cannot simulate the Doorbell button being pressed via the Ring App. If you want to test it, you'll need to physically press the Doorbell button in order to test it and make sure it's linked up with your Alexa properly. I hope this clears things up! :)

May I suggest that this is a necessary feature -- especially when you start linking up devices via Alexa Skills. It would also be nice when I want to wake up my family... Seriously -- my video doorbell is 300 feet from the house -- in order to test things, I need two people??

FWIW, This would be a great feature for people wishing to teach their dogs not to Pavlov-like lose their minds when the doorbell rings and instead run to a mat. Less excessive barking, less getting underfoot while guests or family are removing shoes, and bolting out open doors should they see another dog, squirrel, rabbit, etc.
