Anyone got one of these yet? What do you think?

I don’t see much of an API so it might not be that HA compatible
I’m a little late to the party, but I picked one up last prime day 2018. The people detection service is not good. I canceled the subscription, and won’t be picking up another one. The people detection feature is really the only thing that distinguishes it from other cameras - but at it’s current pricepoint, it’s not worth the trouble. I far prefer the cheaper cameras from Blink or Wyze, or even a generic IP camera feeding into HA. I think with blink and wyze, you can still ask alexa to show you the feed, so you get all the Alexa advantages with those cheaper cams as well.
This thread is still a front page Google result almost 1 year later, so I’m assuming that no one’s tackled a Home Assistant integration yet.
I have not encapsulated it yet for HA but there is an API for the CloudCam system.
