Introducing “Echo Guard.” Say something like “Alea, I’m leaving,” and she’ll move your Echoes into Guard mode. You’ll get a notification if they hear breaking glass or the sound of an alarm. Alexa Guard with Ring and ADT.

No mention of details so far

Today, we’re extending Ring Alarm and adding access control." You’ll be able to lock compatible smart locks from Schlage, Yale, Kwikset and Danalock right from the RIng app, or disarm your system by punching a code in on the lock.

New Ring cameras.

Ring Stick Up Cam, $180. Available later this year. Battery and wired

Alexa has a new Doorbell API that will of course work with Ring to let you see the doorbell camera’s feed on your Echo Show or Echo Spot. Includes support for two-way talk.

New Echo Show $230

Fabric back-cover matches the new Dot and Echo Plus. Also has the same smart home hub functions as the Echo Plus, with built-in Zigbee support.

10-inch HD display, 2X display area from original Echo Show. 8 mic array, "it’s the most advanced mic array we know how to build.:

Oooh…that’s a big deal. :sunglasses:

hoping for a trash can that can be more personal, instead of the vanilla ‘Ok’.

“of course”

“sure why not”

“yuuup”

“you got it”

just for the giggles

not over-the-range and not 1100 Watts = no deal

Adding Silk and Firefox browsers to Show too.

New “Alexa Presentation” software will let third-party skill makers use an HTML framework to bring their own visual interfaces to the Echo Show.
