Anyone got their Yi Camera(s) working on an Amazon Echo Show??

Ooo would be interested if it works.
My yi is 3 years old now and its very handy

I've got my Yi outdoor camera to show with the command "Alexa Show Camera" but it's not the best tbh. Once the live image shows on the Echo Show it's quite laggy & slow to refresh. Probably 10 or so seconds behind real time.

Thanks for that - a 10 second or so delay makes it not worth if for the use I intended. I've read other comments on the review of the skill that also mention lag/buffering - so think I'll pass for now.

Really struggling to get Alexa to find any of my Yi cameras. Any tips?

Its not actually setup yet for use in Europe, its only set up at the moment for USA - I looked into this. So hopefully it will work properly soon

I have mine showing on the new Echo Show 8 although it does seem a little hit & miss.

Which device do you have?
Have you enabled the Yi Skill?

Show 8. But I’m in Europe as the user mentions above... does that make a difference?

Have a read here.

Sorry meant I’m in the UK too. I’ll have a read of that link. Thanks for your help. What camera are you successfully connecting to?

That’s what I have too. How bizarre! Will keep playing.

I can get the skill to find all my camera's (I have the outdoor one, the 1080 swivel, and two 720 fixed cameras) but don't yet have a Show to prove they work.

On my Yi account I also can see two other camera's Yi cameras that have been "shared" with me - but these are not shown as visible on the list of Alexa cameras.

I just enabled the skill then linked the yi account. Camera's appeared immediately but not able to test that it works as I don't have a Show.

Does the show only do live view for 10 minutes then stop?

Yeah tried all that

Connecting worked perfectly, I enabled the Yi Dome, added the Amazon skill, and it showed up on Echo Show right away,
BUT the latency (lag) is horrible. 3-5 seconds. There is no delay between camera and Yi Cam App, so the delay is on the Amazon Show side.

I managed to get it working on my TV using a Fire TV device - agree re. the latency, I have a 7 second lag and occasioal buffering,

Was this through a web browser or is there a fire tv app? I'd like to say "alexa show my camera" and have my fire tv just show it

Mine was working but stopped this week tried removing and reenabling skill but still nada!
