Blue iris Announce AI Person to Alexa

Most simple way without running anything else, see VoiceMonkey.io. Need to do things in multiple places but fairly easy once you understand it.

You'll create a device there, then link voicemonkey to your Alexa account, add the device to Alexa in the app, then in BI under Alerts > Actions > On alert you'll add a line for a web request that looks something like this:

api-use.voicemonkey.io/trigger?access_token=your_access_token&secret_token=your_secret_token&monkey=your_device_name&announcement=Hello%20monkey
 
I do this through Home Assistant with the HACS Alexa Media Player integration. I don't know if this integration can be standalone for Blue Iris though.
