Hi, I just purchased an Alexa, and I was thinking of doing something like if motion is detected, make a noise on alexa. I have tried, but when I try to choose the action service, alexa isnt showing? is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks @steve4335 - I think the easiest solution I am going to go with is to run node js on my raspberry pi, and when someone connects to it - it will perform text to speech e.g. “Alexa, alarm” for example. I’ll use IFTTT so on motion sensor trigger, use webhooks to fire up node server. In theory …

Unfortunately, Alexa is only available as a trigger on IFTTT, not as an action. That’s a choice made by Amazon, not Wyze. Some people were throwing around some workaround ideas in this thread related to virtual switches in SmartThings, but Wyze doesn’t integrate with SmartThings, (yet?) so I don’t …

Could I do something on IFTTT with a raspberry pi - e.g. if motion is detected, get a raspberry pi to speech “motion detected”, which in turn would be a trigger on alexa to start a noise, e.g. a dog barking

To be clear, this refers to Alexa notifications, not Alexa announcements. Right? Definitely still useful, but it would be great if Alexa could automatically say “Person detected,” for example. I’ve never set up any custom Alexa notifications, though. Is it possible to customize the notification sou…

The big problem with using IFTTT for motion detection notifications from WYZE motion sensors is that they ALWAYS are active whether or not the sensors are currently enabled in the Wyze App. You have to manually shut off the IFTTT recipe rather than rely on a schedule for the sensor or even manual…

Mrgadget: please walk me through how to connect the motion detection from Wyze to IFTTT to Notify-me to Alexa. (Really, it requires three different services to get a single notification in Alexa?). I want to setup my aunts Echo Show 8 with a Wyze Cam “Garage Camera” so that if the Garage camera dete…

Vino, I can help but first a couple of questions: 1 . Do you want an immediate announcement when motion is detected? Example -Alexa would immediately announce "Motion detected in garage " This can be accomplished using a Wyze PIR Motion Sensor and an simple routine in Alexa . Or would you wan…
