I am trying to develop a dashboard to control all the devices which are programmed with my amazon echo dots. Has anyone been able to successfully discover the devices connected to their amazon account and control them using a dashboard.

I would like to have a layout of the house with the devices and make a user-friendly dashboard for my parents to have a birds eye view of the devices in the house.

TIA

node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2 or cakebake, will allow you to controll alexa connected smart devices.
