I found ways to get stuff to turn on lights or turn them off based on door sensor state.
I finally integrated my harmony and Alexa into the node - red. However, I do not know how to take advantage of it. For example, currently in my harmony hub, I have created an activity for movie watching. I also want the lights to turn off, and very specific commands sent to my AVR receiver (turn off dynamic volume and turn on dynamic EQ). So, I want all of this to start with a simple command like "Alexa, start movie night". How do I do this?
I don't think Alexa would understand that command.
I think you could use... "Alexa, turn ON movie night" or "Alexa, turn movie night ON" - then use one of the Alexa nodes to process the received command-string.
I've used nearly all of them include the offering Simon mentioned.
I'm currently using this node...
On my Echo Dot I had to run the following as I didn't want to start Node-RED as root.
It routes port 8980 to port 80.
You need to enter 8980 as the port number in the amazon-alexa-hub
You need to run these commands on your Pi if your using a WiFi connection.
