Add an AMAZON.SmartHomeEvent.Updated notification
As more smart home skills are added that work with cycle based processes and devices such as recipe steps, ovens, washer, dryers,etc it would be very helpful to be able to proactively send Alexa notifications such as "Your upper oven preheat is complete" or "Your oven cook timer is complete" or "Your washer is done" or "Your dryer cycle is complete" or " It's time to baste the roast"
We have gotten solid feedback from our consumers saying that if they can start a cycle with Alexa, why can't Alexa tell them when the cycle is complete. These types of notifications would further remove the need to interact with voice AND app, and allow Alexa to play a bigger role with these types of smart home devices.

Some smart home proactive events would useful. I have a smart washer that can't proactively inform me when it's done.
