MMM_Alexa Control: Alexa Command words
-
@ JosefJantzen
I successfully installed and integrated the Alexa Control module. I have a Pi 3B and an Alexa DOT alexa (3 gen). I had no issues in pairing it with my Alexa device. I also use MMM-Pages. After configuring, Alexa has assigned the device id to each page. I can easily switch between pages by giving the command “Alexa turn on page3” or “Alexa turn on page6” etc. Apparently Alexa has configured the commands as a WEMOS device (On and Off).
My question is that is it possible to change the command word of Alexa to *“Alexa show me page3” or “Show me page 7” etc?
Thanks!

@Rags no. the devices only turn on or off (Alexa skill word)

@Rags it should work…
routine, voice (show me xxx (like page 3) ) , smarthome, select device, power on
I checked to see if I could do it
and it works for me…I have a real plug for my desk light. I normally ‘turn on’ desk light /‘turn off’ desk light
I just added
voice , show me light
smart home, plugs, desk, power onand it works…
Alexa show me light

@sdetweil Ok Thanks. Got it going. Only thing is Alexa does not accept numerals in command so had to write in as words.
-
@Rags correct. Alexa only knows the sound of words
