@Gravel , some phones do have features that can assist you. Also contact your provider to ask for assistance. I say this because an elderly neighbour has similar troubles herself.

I have a ring doorbell that used to flash when someone pressed the doorbel or the motion sensor picked up movement. Dam thing has stopped working. Ive checked the doorbell itself and even downloaded the set up again. No joy.
Also have a sound core amplifier that connects by wifi to phone. That works when it feels like it :face_with_raised_eyebrow:.
I did manage to set the phone so it flashes when there is a incoming call, But to be Honest i dread phone calls.

@Gravel , likewise on phone calls. All I get are eejits asking for my dead mother when I’ve explained to many, many companies she’s dead. Also, the call I get is when they say “I would like you to do a survey” and then they flog your details to other companies. Some people don’t listen. I’ve heard some ring doorbells need to be re-synchronized occasionally. I’m planning on getting a ring doorbell soon once my internet at home is finally working. I’ll know what to look out for.

Sorry to hear about the los of your mother.
When the ring doorbells are working properly they are brilliant.Mine still connects to my TV, So when im expecting a visitor i keep a eye on the TV.
I recently purchased Surfshak VPN and i think that is blocking ring from connecting to my phone.

I have the Sportrider .Its slow, 8mph but never missed a beat in 6 years.
I can get a good 20 miles out of it on rough terrain.

@Gravel , I guess you’ll need to wrap up pretty well in winter time.
