Was able to get a solution to work so that when the doorbell is rang it will show on the Echo Show. The quick and dirty explanation was to create an alexa routine connected to the binary sensor front_door_call_no_answered from Home Assistant and follow these videos to connect it to alexa:



For the tutorial to connect home assistant to alexa by everything smart home, I needed to make some small changes. In the Alexa development console, under permissions, turn on “Send Alexa Events”. In Home Assistant, edit the configuration.yaml file with the following values under smart_home

endpoint: https://api.amazonalexa.com/v3/events
client_id: YOUR_SKILL_CLIENT_ID
client_secret: YOUR_SKILL_CLIENT_SECRET

Reason why is because there needs to be a way for Home Assistant to push the state of the binary sensor to Alexa instead of Alexa pulling that data from Home Assistant.
