Hi all -
Now that i have my doorbell installed (Ezviz DB1), I want to set up a tablet or other device in my kitchen to automatically show the camera when motion is detected (or button press).
Amazon & Google's devices (echo show & hub) do not seem support any practical way to get a push notification and turn on the video feed. It works if you ask it to show the video feed (ie. "Alexa, show the front door") but you cannot seem to do it based on motion detection or doorbell press, even with using IFTTT, Alexa Routines, etc.
The closest solution, that is clever but not too practical, is that I saw someone physically taped an Echo Dot behind an Echo Show and using IFTTT (or something similar) was able to trigger the Echo Dot to speak "Alexa, show camera" to the Echo Show when motion was detected.
Has anyone solved for this?
I am open to using a tablet with software or totally different hardware but haven't figure out a solution.
Appreciate any thoughts.
