Does the Eufy Genie work with Amazon Echo?

The Eufy Genie Smart Wi-Fi doorbell is Alexa enabled, this includes all of the voice commands that are on your Amazon Echo speaker. So if you have an Echo or Alexa Dot in your home and want to control your doorbell, the Genie can work with it.
If you’re looking for a doorbell that can integrate seamlessly with other smart-home technology, EUFY might be the best option available on the market. But you may be wondering if it’s compatible with Alexa. Luckily, the EUFY doorbell is compatible with many of the most popular smart-home devices – including Alexa. This means that you can control your doorbell with a simple voice command.
What You Need to Know About EUFY and Alexa Integration
In order to integrate EUFY and Alexa, all you need is the EUFY app for Android or iOS. From there, you just need to enable skills from Amazon’s Alexa Launchpad page: Amazon Launchpad (Eufy). You can do this by simply clicking on the “Enable Skill” button and following the instructions. You may have to sign in to your account to enable the skill.
Once you’ve enabled skills from Amazon’s Alexa Launchpad page, make sure that you update EUFY’s app so that it can connect properly with Alexa. However, there are two additional steps you’ll have to take before activating your EUFY skills:
Sign in using your Amazon account and complete the authorization process.
Say “Alexa, discover devices” to add EUFY to your Alexa smart-home device list.
From there you can use Alexa to control your EUFY Doorbell. Simply say “Alexa, turn on the front door” and your doorbell will ring wherever you have it installed. The same applies to other features. You can even say “Alexa, open EUFY” to arm and disarm your doorbell.
The best part about this setup? It works with all smart-home devices that are compatible with Alexa. You can tell Alexa to turn on other smart-home components, such as Philips Hue lights, LG Smart TVs, or Samsung SmartThings devices. Just make sure that your compatible device is connected to the Internet before you set up EUFY.
Aside from using voice commands, you can also control EUFY and your other devices through the EUFY app. The app also shows you push notifications when your doorbell rings. And even if you don’t have an Internet connection, the push notifications will still work. Just make sure that you connect to the Internet after setting up your EUFY product so that it can send a notification whenever there’s a visitor.
EUFY offers so many more home-related features than just doorbells. First, you can configure your doorbell to alert the appropriate media when there’s a visitor. For example, if you set up your doorbell to ring your phone and play music, then it’ll play music for two hours after someone rings the bell. You can even configure multiple locations for emergencies and alerts.
Doorbell cameras are great for keeping an eye on your home when you’re away. However, EUFY’s doorbells offer more than just surveillance. For example, some models provide a two-way intercom system and even talk to visitors through social media if you can’t be there to open the door yourself. You can also use this feature to check who’s at the door without having to leave your phone or computer.
For the Eufy doorbell, you’ll receive a hardware kit that includes everything you need to get started: the doorbell itself (in white) and a small charging stand, a wired power adapter with two sockets (one for the doorbell and one for charging), a user guide, and an information card. The only thing missing is the Alexa companion app, which you should download from Amazon. It’s free and will give you instructions on how to link up your electronics with your Alexa.
