When you activate the Blink SmartHome Skill, Alexa can announce Motion Alerts and provide camera views for Blink Video Doorbell, Outdoor, Indoor (gen 2), Mini, and XT2 cameras. You must "Launch" (re-enable) the Blink SmartHome Skill in the Alexa app and configure devices to use it again. **use this command with caution** because it deactivates the Blink SmartHome Skill and you settings are lost.

"Alexa, ask Blink what's my schedule." - Alexa reads the existing schedules you have set in the Blink app. "Alexa, show the last activity at my Front door." - The most recent motion-event or doorbell press is played. "Alexa, talk to the Front door." - Alexa opens up two-way talk with the "Front door" camera (not available in Event Response). "Alexa, arm my Front door." - Arms your doorbell for motion detection if it is on its own system.

"Alexa, ask Blink Help." - Blink Help responds with tips and things to say. "Alexa, open Blink." - Alexa announces what Blink can do. In the examples the doorbell camera is named "Front door". Here are some of the Alexa commands that work with the Blink Video Doorbell.
