      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 said in MMM_Alexa Control: Alexa Command words:

            Alexa turn on page6

            create routines alexa
            Alexa show me page3
            alexa => Alexa turn on page3

                @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 on

                and 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
