I setup Camera and Motion, and on the Fire 7 under display I set it to sleep after 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, screen goes off, and when I do motion in front of camera, it does not come back on. I have to hit the button on the Fire 7, slide up to unlock and then it’s back.
So that seems like a problem. I did find a way, if powered, to make it stay awake.

Then you can turn on the screensaver in this app and that works.
It runs fast and for $50, it’s a great option.
If we could get a way to change the default alarm sound from the app that would be great. If you set an alarm you can choose a sound, but you can’t change the default, so it would have to be added to the app somehow.
Also, the Fire has no click sounds. So a way to enable click sounds on the button clicks in the app would be good.
Also to be able to see the squares change color as you click them, to know you clicked them, would be helpful.
And last not sure if possible to auto unlock on the Fire with the motion code. This works on my Nexus 5x, just not the Fire. If always plugged in and the Stay Awake option works, not as big a deal.
It connects with MQTT, runs fast, works, and looks good though! Can’t beat the price
