How can I opt into the developer preview for notification API? Or has it been publicly released?

Proactive event are not the same as notifications purpose: they are restricted to only some few contexts.

I would like to generate notifications for my domotic skill, which could generate much more type of messages (like "The door is not well closed" or "Welcome home Guillaume"...)

If these proactive events is the answer of Alexa team to those requesting notification API, a more generic scheme should be provided, like "Notification from <skillName>: <message>"

Feel free to post this as a feature request in Uservoice for Alexa over here - our teams do review the requests here to see what would best benefit our developer community.

This is way too rigid a structure. Having to submit a feature request ? I'm on the notifications API preview programme and love the flexibility it offers. I can send dynamic content as I wish. Having to conform to a set of defined schema (or submit for a "feature request" ) seems a backwards step to me.

The Notifications API is currently in developer preview and the team isn't onboarding any new developers at this point in time. Keep an eye out on the developer blog here for updates.
