Hello I am looking at integrating some devices into Amazon Alexa. For example if device X turns on, it will communicate to Alexa. However is there a way for Alexa to securely push this notification so that it is available in node-red, without node-red having to ping Alexa for status? There's lots …

Thanks for that. I’ll take a read through the large thread. Is all of this based on having an Alexa hub though? Like an echo? I don’t have an echo, I just have a bunch of devices that can communicate with Alexa. So was wondering if they could communicate directly with Alexa cloud then I could revert…

I think your option are limited to vitual devices , you can set up routines in alexa for those alexa enabled devices and get them to send a diming level to node-red, you could then use that dimming level to determine what the notice should be. e,g, dimming level 1 of virtual device 1, means notific…

As soon as you have any devices paired to another manufacturer´s hub or system, these will notify, f…

I think I can get it all to work using routines and Alexa. The issue I am having now is that I cannot get node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel (node) to pickup on events from my iphone, where the app is installed. I also have Alexa installed on a Windows PC and I can see commands firing into …

Yep I have it communicating with all devices now. I can also poll the device from NR and get status using the Smarthome query node. However this is limited to 5 mins which is not practical. I'm trying to work out why when I change the device status, it is not showing up via the Event node. I have e…
