Hi,

Can the doorbell be setup on alexa to only announce when someone presses the bell, and not when it detects motion.(I've seen in older posts that you cant, but newer ones saying a firmware update now allows this, so i wanted to double check).

Also can the local storage be accessed remotely so that i can see/download the recordings when im not home?

@Shoob

This can be achieved by creating an Alexa routine, using Doorbell as the Trigger (When). E.g. When D230 is Pressed, Then xxx.

Local recordings can be viewed remotely but not downloaded.
