Integration with Amazon Echo

If you have a feature you'd like to see in Indigo, post it here. Others can refine the idea if they like. Please keep each topic to one feature or a closely related set of features and don't add other unrelated requests to an existing topic. Use the Hardware Support Requests forum below to request support for some bit of hardware - but be sure to check the 3rd Party Plugins Forum first though to make sure there isn't already a plugin for it.

LOL akimball, if I did that I'm 99.999% certain that my wife would shave my head and then murder me in my sleep.

If you have both Google Home and Alexa, there is always the old standby of creating:

1. In Google Calendar, create an event titled "Alexa, what is on my calendar for today?"
2. In Alexa, create a calendar event titled "OK Google, what is on my calendar for today?"
3. Ask either what is on your calendar. Sit back and enjoy the back and forth.

If Google Home asked Alexa a question and nobody heard it, did Google Home actually make a noise?

This has genuinely got me thinking of how I can rig a speaker up for indigo speech in the kitchen bluetooth or airplay maybe with airfoil so that I can have it speak 'Alexa play radio 1' to trigger the radio to start when we walk into the kitchen in the morning.

Love this forum!

Has also justified a motion sensor purchase to use todays amazon £10 off £50!

I have been trying this with a bluetooth speaker and an Amazon dot. It works to have Indigo arm my alarm since ADT integration isn't quite there.
