The Echo Show 15 is a wall-mounted 15” smart home display perfect for a central location like your kitchen. It can make daily tasks, shopping lists, agendas, and general life management easier. It can also keep track of your security system for you. If it can work with a security system, you might wonder, does Echo Show 15 work with Blink cameras?
Does the Echo Show 15 Work with Blink Cameras?
Using Alexa Skills will quickly set up your Blink Cameras with the Echo Show 15 and allow you to use Alexa’s voice commands to let the Echo Show 15 control your Cameras. You can tell your Echo Show 15, “Alexa, show me [Name of Camera],” and the live feed from your Blink camera will be displayed immediately. It is even possible to set up motion alerts via the menu.
In addition to Alexa Skills, the Echo Show 15 comes with a plethora of widgets.
Setting Up Blink Cameras with the Echo Show 15
The Echo Show 15 will search for your installed Blink cameras. You will then be able to set up your devices and change the features and settings of your cameras.
Setting Up the Alexa Skill for the Blink Cameras
Once you click Enable to Use, a browser window should open, and you should then sign in to your Blink account.
Linking Your Blink Account and Setting Up Your Blink Cameras
Your Blink account should link to your Echo Show 15 automatically once you login in after enabling the Blink Smarthome Alexa Skill in the previous section. Once the accounts are linked, you will be asked to discover your Blink devices. Alexa will then search for your connected Blink cameras. Alexa will then bring your cameras online.
Now your Blink Cameras will be added to your Blink Smarthome skill and can be configured from the menu within the app. You can set the cameras to have motion announcements so that there is an audible announcement by Alexa using your camera by name anytime one of the Blink cameras detects motion.
