It makes no sense that Alexa can recognize and trigger routine based on Eufy Camera motion, but Alexa cannot see the Eufy Motion Sensor. Really need to add the Motion Sensor to Alexa. I would be heaps of these as I automate my home; but alas the Eufy motion sensor cannot trigger non-Eufy events via Alexa.
Any progress on this? This should be must have with any kind of sensor.
08/24 - still no motion sensor support, either sensor itself or in the Eufy cameras for Alexa or any home automation system. Just bought the S330 and now returning it. When will Eufy figure out the lost opportunity here?
Curious how it doesn’t work. I have home base and 4 cameras. One way or another I have Google home and Alexa recognizing it to trigger off camera motion
Are you able to create an Alexa routine off of the motion detection? Just got off the phone with tech support and they verified that the camera is able to send notifications (via the eufy app) when motion is detected.
But they do not support motion. If you go into Alexa routines, when looking for an event under “When this happens”, motion is not an event that is supported. Thus unable to trigger the camera to do other things, such as turn on a security light when someone comes into the motion area of the camera.
I looked into doing it in IFTTT, but would not work
If you have this working, please provide how you were able to do it!
Thanks
Each camera shows up in Alexa as a device. I can make routines. Such as when front yard detects motion, turn on driveway lights
The device settings show the cameras are connected via Eufy skill in Alexa fyi
