Alexa routine to display an Arlo camera

[kyoung116]

We can currently set up routines where Alexa will say something when motion is detected on a camera.  It would be great if we could make an action that displays the camera on an Amazon Show device on that motion detection.  I have a camera at my front door.  It would be great if my Alexa show could display that front door camera as soon as motion is detected.  This way, I won't have to ask Alexa to do it and then wait 5-10 seconds for Arlo to load on the Show.  It will already be showing.

It would be a great improvement. Can you imagine to have Arlo doorbell which makes echo show showing the camera at front door upon button pressed!

As one can see, it's been almost a year since the original query was submitted.  Yet, there hasn't been any advancement on this issue?  Come on ARLO, how difficult can this be?  😠

I've gotten mine to show the video from my Arlo doorbell when the button is pushed, but I have not found out how to stop the video after a certain amount of time...... If we're not home to tell Alexa to stop, it will stay on.

I have the notifications coming through an echo device stating there is motion at "front door" , is there not a way to have it say that on echo speaker devices, and automatically have my " echo show " show me the live feed of the motion? I would have thought this would be a great feature to have and certainly cannot be the only one who thinks this would be a great option, to auto start the live feed on the echo show ( using the arlo skill - show front door )
