    Not to be a wet blanket or anything, but Blink does not list the Netgear RBS40V on the list of products known to work with the Blink Doorbell.https://support.blinkforhome.com/en_US/alexa/setup-guide#supported-alexa-devices Nor do they list Sonos speakers.

    There have been a number of posts on the forum from users not satisfied with what Alexa can do on the RBS40V.  My own use is primitive.  "Alexa, play (a radio station)". "Alexa tell Plex to play". what time is it?  what's the temperature.  tell a joke.  etc.

     

    I have this feeling you'd be better off with something known to be supported, such as an Echo Dot. (3rd gen $18 on Amazon.  Newest models about $50)
