Access Alexa through HStouch?

[chad611]

Has anyone figured out how to access Alexa through HStouch? I have a Hometroller Pi that cannot access the Alexa Plugin because it is written for Windows only. It would be great to add Alexa support to HStouch to be able to access the intercom and music features.

Have you looked at a Node Red system? If your tablets are Android based, you can also use Tasker to do this (like I do).

I have heard of node red, but am not familiar with how to set up. How is yours set up?

I do not use Node Red, as I use Tasker instead (as I indicated). I choose Tasker because I was familiar with it, and I did not have to obtain any additional software or hardware by using Tasker. There is a lot more expertise on this forum with Node Red though, as I might be the only one here that uses Tasker as my Alexa interface. I suspect the Node Red experts will be along any time now...
