Rest API that can send an alexa announcement
Rest API that can send an alexa announcement based on the event like lights turn on or webcam detection. This can be called from lambda. Definitely a key feature that alexa is alerting everyone or n the room that other room or area has a movement. Great feature and will add value.
let me know if this is already exist in some way or simpler way

PLEASE PLEASE Add this! .... I have a super simple lambda function that is invoked from an AWS IoT button that I use for my 94 year old mother in law. Currently it sends a text message and I know to go check on her. Ideally I would like the lambda function to also send an announcement to ALL my Alexa devices in the house that simply says, "Check on mom" ..... Not a Notification, where I have to notice the blue ring and ask it to play my notifications. I've already accomplished this using the Notify Me skill.

Rest API for any voice command, voice is a great convenience but it would be very beneficial to be able to script a silent request for Alexa to execute any command that would have been spoken. If for no other reason but to provide a way for speech impaired users to utilize other tools to control Alexa by tools developed to meet their specific needs but for those that manage complex smart home systems Alexa would be the go to device for full integration.
