Alexa input switching

Hi,
Im thinking about using an alexa to play small mp3 messages over wifi for my doorbell for example a prerecorded message for the delivery guy to drop the package at the door, but also use the aux (because my camera has an aux for 2 way audio).
Will Alexa automatically alternate between the 2 inputs?
I guess the other 2 parts shouldnt be a problem.
Best regards
Daniel

I have no idea what you are asking. What two inputs?

No. (I have no idea what he means either, but it sounds extremely unlikely.) :grin:

What’s your Alexa integration? Playing mp3 is one thing, but what is the camera integration?

:smile:
The 2 inputs beeing
1 Wifi, play media from a ha automation
2 The aux input. Where the camera is connected to, used for 2 way audio. I want to know what happens when I play a message, and afterwards I want to use the 2 way audio hence the aux port. And vice versa.

About the Alexa integration:
Im thinking about buying an Alexa echo, so I dont use a integration right now. I was expecting its simular to other smartspeakers I use right now (where I can just select them as a device in my automation to play media on). For the camera there is no integration its just using the aux like any oldschool device like a mp3 player would for example
Am I thinking wrong?
Thanks and best regards

Afraid not. There isn’t an official integration for Alexa as a media player. These is a custom integration, Alexa Media Player, which is very popular, but it has been having a lot of issues lately. This may not be the time to spend money on it.
