How do I trigger an Amazon Alexa device when motion is detected on my Arlo camera?

Your Alexa enabled device can make an announcement or trigger a third-party Smart Home device when motion is detected on one of your Arlo cameras. For example, if motion is detected at your front door, Alexa can activate smart lights to turn on.
