I have a number of Ring Chimes that provide a notification when someone presses the doorbell. Ring also sends out push notifications and Alexa is able able to send a ding out to its devices but none of these features provides a seamless announcement. Often I would miss not hear the Ring Chime so I created an automation that pauses my Sonos speaks, flashes a few key lights and sends a ding to key speakers all while respecting quiet hours and who is home presence.
