First of all, great work on the Alexa/Camect inteface. I have Camect now working on large screen FireTV and Echo Show. I have searched forums extensively but have not found a listing of the various voice commands that can be utilized for control (only some limited suggestions are recited by Alexa when Camect Home is opened but this “list” of what can be done seems extremely limited and curiously, changes each time Camect Home is opened).

Is there a list of specific voice commands available or can one be published? Also, not just what can be done by Camect Home, but the actual/exact wording of the commands that need to be used that Alexa recognizes.

TIA for any help.

Don't take this as real product documentation (although we do need to produce some of that too :-) but it basically boils down to these commands: 

       View camera {cam_name} at {time}
       View camera {cam_name}
       View camera {cam_name} at {time} {date}

       Play latest alert from camera {cam_name}
       Play latest alert
       Play {object} alerts
       Play {object} alert from camera {cam_name} at {time} {date}
       Play alert at {time} {date}

       Play camera {cam_name} timelapse for the {duration} starting from {time} {date}
       View {object} from camera {cam_name} for the {duration} starting from {time} {date}

       Show alerts with {object} detected
       Hide alerts with {object} detected
       Show interesting alerts
       Hide interesting alerts
       Show uninteresting alerts
       Hide uninteresting alerts

Are these commands the same for Google ?

No, we don't support video or voice commands for Google Home yet, although we plan to add them eventually. Right now, the only interaction with Google Home is that Google Home devices can play voice announcements of detections as they happen. (Alexa is actually missing that functionality as there isn't a public Alexa API that allows us to do that for Alexa.)
