Hi…did you get this working in the end?

I’m trying to get my ring doorbell to show on my Fire TV automatically when the bell is pressed - does your method above work ok?

I guess you’re using one of your devices to say “show me the front door” as the way to fire it up? Any idea if this can be hard coded some how?

Hi yes got it to work, but don’t use it anymore as I now have a DoorBird. Basically I had a speaker plugged into my pi Which when the door bell was press play Alex show me my front door camera, so my Alex device could hear it. Using the harmony remote component I pause what ever was on the tv, switched inputs to the fire stick for a amount of time then switched input back and play.
