Enhance the Smart Home Camera Experience with Person Detection

You can use the new Alexa.EventDetectionSensor interface in the Smart Home Skill API to tell Alexa when your smart home camera detects the presence of a person. Once you've implemented the capability, customers can use person detection as a trigger for other actions, such as turning on the house lights. You can also enable customers to view the last person detected by saying, "Alexa, show the most recent person detected at the front door." The new capability is available in the US today.
