Inspired by your Alexa projects I have created a doorbell that incorporates my front door camera, Blue Iris, Alexa and a 65" Sony Bravia TV. When someone comes to my front door a motion sensor triggers an Alexa routine on an external speaker that greets them with "Good (morning, afternoon or evening based on the time of day), the homeowners have been notified of your presence. Someone will be with you shortly. If you are soliciting, we are not interested." Another routine is triggered on an echo in our kitchen that lets us know someone is at the front door.
The same trigger is used to show the live camera feed on a Sony Bravia TV in our family room. This is accomplished by connecting my Blue Iris server to an extra HDMI port on the TV. I run the BI console displaying the front door camera. I use a RM rule setup to switch the HDMI feeds and/or turn the TV on if it is off.
Blue Iris is also setup to send me a snapshot of the whenever the front door is triggered. I'm using Deepstack AI so it only gets triggered when there is an actual person.
I think I may have gone overboard with this project, but it might give you some inspiration.
