I need to expose signals from node to Alexa as motion sensors. been looking for a node, but can't find anything. anyone with ideas? TIA Bart

Yes, but the only way to make her talk is to use motion sensors. I need some kind of node to do that. Otherwise it will only hang there with yellow light.

I think you need to explain yourself a bit more. I for one have no idea what you are trying to do. Do you mean you have a motion sensor that when it is triggered you want to send something to Alexa or do you have a motion sensor connected to Alexa and you want to send something to NR when it is act…

not exactly. Alexa only supports motion sensors as triggers of notifications. I am looking for node that emulates it.

There are many ways to use a motion sensor in node-red just do a google search 'node-red motion sensor' then you just need a way to talk to alexa and tere is a node node-red-contrib-alexa-notifyme that might suit your needs.

Please post your solution here so that anyone else looking for someting like this wil be helped out.
