Alexa controlled xAP
24 August, 2017 - 00:56
Its been a very long while since I've last posted. Derek got me inspired to look at Alexa controllable xAP endpoints. As a proof of concept I took the faxumo code and made a few very minor modifications to prove it can act as a bridge to control xAP too.
./fuaxmo.py
Alexa discover devices
<Wait 20s for it to find the fake control points fauxmo has created>
Alexa relay 1 on
Alexa relay 1 off

Could be the holy grail to HAH
I spoke to Derek the other day regarding the Echo and Alexa and ordered one from Tesco (£40), I have only had it a day and I am quite impressed.
If this can be fully integrated with the HAH it would be a major step forward and I am sure would rekindle new/existing interest in the HAH.
Brett many thanks for your time and effort in this new endevour.

...although I'm still trying to get full integration with node-red, I still can't get that MQTT gateway script to work!
Great job! This opens up a lot of new options.
We had talked about making this a Plugboard compatible affair - that would be the icing on the cake.
Derek.
