Model: Tapo C720  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.2.2

This device could be perfect... :-)

Right now there is limited Alexa functionality compared to the doorbell camera. All I can do is toggle person detection and turn the camera on/off (I can't confirm that does anything)

From Alexa, I should be able to:
1.  see the live video -- the same as the doorbell camera
2.  Expose the flood lights so I can turn them on and off using Alexa. 

Perhaps the c720 needs to be exposed to Alexa as 2 devices -- a camera and as a light that can be controlled separately

Hi,
1. Do you want to see the camera's live feed on the Alexa app? Currently, if you refer to the instructions below to set up the camera work with Alexa, you can watch the camera's live feed on Alexa devices with a screen, such as Amazon Echo Show and Fire TV.
How to make my Tapo / Kasa device work with Amazon Alexa?
 

2. Do you want to turn on/off the camera's floodlights via voice command?

 

Best Regards

 Dear @Solla-topee ,

 

Is it possible to turn off/on the flood lights via Alexa voice commands?

Hi,
The Tapo C720 currently does not support the feature to turn off/on the floodlights via Alexa voice commands.
Best Regards
