Hello, is it possible to use node-red to sending a command to turn on / off the device to the Google assistant or Alexa from Amazon?

simple as below  
device is the device name in alexa app  
action is turnOn/turnOff  
there is more info on actions for dimming etc in the nodes help section.

```auto
[{"id":"ed093db6.d8a2e8","type":"inject","z":"5a245aa1.510164","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload.device","v":"lounge 1","vt":"str"},{"p":"payload.action","v":"turnOn","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","x":120,"y":3720,"wires":[["614f4c73.8bc11c"]]},{"id":"614f4c73.8bc11c","type":"function","z":"5a245aa1.510164","name":"create json","func":"msg.payload = [{\"entity\":msg.payload.device,\n \"action\": msg.payload.action\n }\n]\nreturn msg;\n","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"initialize":"","finalize":"","x":300,"y":3720,"wires":[["89d4ab46.49c03"]]},{"id":"89d4ab46.49c03","type":"alexa-remote-smarthome","z":"5a245aa1.510164","name":"Smarthome Action","account":"b0877f3.836aa","config":{"option":"action","value":[]},"outputs":1,"x":510,"y":3720,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"b0877f3.836aa","type":"alexa-remote-account","name":"alexaremote2","authMethod":"proxy","proxyOwnIp":"192.168.1.25","proxyPort":"3456","cookieFile":"alexa-remote2.txt","refreshInterval":"14","alexaServiceHost":"layla.amazon.co.uk","amazonPage":"amazon.co.uk","acceptLanguage":"en-UK","userAgent":"","useWsMqtt":"on","autoInit":"off"}]

```

the device and action is set in the inject node.

it is configure you need to feed it the json payload that the function node creates, that makes it dynamic. read the help info it's all there.

all you need to do is config the amazon sign in via proxy method and then the node will instruct you to go to [http://yourip:3456](http://yourip:3456) to sign into amazon.

The details above are for UK amazon account, more info for others in help info.

As said the function node creates it from the info supplied in the inject node, or any other input, eg http/mqtt etc

So what else should I change?

```auto
[{"id":"4963bd5a.7f62e4","type":"inject","z":"5dcef20d.8a938c","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload.device","v":"radio fm","vt":"str"},{"p":"payload.action","v":"turnOff","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","x":110,"y":100,"wires":[["215bc734.76f748"]]},{"id":"215bc734.76f748","type":"function","z":"5dcef20d.8a938c","name":"create json","func":"msg.payload = [{\"entity\":msg.payload.device,\n \"action\": msg.payload.action\n }\n]\nreturn msg;\n","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"initialize":"","finalize":"","x":290,"y":100,"wires":[["8e0c23cc.dacf4"]]},{"id":"8e0c23cc.dacf4","type":"alexa-remote-smarthome","z":"5dcef20d.8a938c","name":"Smarthome Action","account":"b0877f3.836aa","config":{"option":"action","value":[]},"outputs":1,"x":500,"y":100,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"b0877f3.836aa","type":"alexa-remote-account","name":"test","authMethod":"proxy","proxyOwnIp":"192.168.1.6","proxyPort":"3456","cookieFile":"","refreshInterval":"14","alexaServiceHost":"pitangui.amazon.com","amazonPage":"amazon.com","acceptLanguage":"en-US","userAgent":"","useWsMqtt":"on","autoInit":"off"}]

```

Yes it is a Smart device, I did it and I had to add

```auto
[{"id":"124e324b.5cd08e","type":"alexa-remote-init","z":"418c032.e1eeffc","name":"inicjalizacja alexy","account":"b0877f3.836aa","option":"initialise","x":190,"y":420,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"ffba50b9.5a9d1","type":"inject","z":"418c032.e1eeffc","name":"guzik aktywacyjny","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"","payloadType":"date","x":140,"y":360,"wires":[["124e324b.5cd08e"]]},{"id":"b0877f3.836aa","type":"alexa-remote-account","name":"alexaremote2","authMethod":"proxy","proxyOwnIp":"192.168.1.6","proxyPort":"3455","cookieFile":"","refreshInterval":"14","alexaServiceHost":"pitangui.amazon.com","amazonPage":"amazon.com","acceptLanguage":"en-US","userAgent":"","useWsMqtt":"on","autoInit":"off"}]

```

Scenes can also be activated in this way but how to sync device statuses with Alexa in ha?
