Is there any third party plugin/addon to setup a rule that when an event /motion/ai is triggered on a camera that i could notify you on a amazon echo device?

  Hi alfredo monarrez,

  There is no plugin from Network Optix to support Alexa.

  But, you can send HTTP requests from Nx Witness to 3rd party applications, like Alexa, with the Do HTTP request action.

  I'm not familiar with the Alexa REST API to know what kind of actions can be sent to Alexa, but if you can play an audio file or if it supports text-to-speech (tts) via the API, you should be able to do this with the Do HTTP request action.

  I do a similar thing with Home Assistant using a combination of WebHooks and HTTP requests as Norman mentioned. NX talks to Home Assistant. Home Assistant talks to everything you want.
