Sorry if this has been asked before or if there is a feature request thread.
I'm trying to create Alexa driven events like "Play" for voice control.
When I press "Play" on my handheld remote the hub sends a play command to whatever activity(devices) is currently active..DVR, Roku...etc
To create an event "Play" using the plug-in I must first find the current activity and then send the "play" command to the correct AV device (based on activity).
So that results in a set of if/then events to check each activity. e.g. If you want to control 4 command and have 3 activities you end up making 12 events
It would nice if the plug-in could leverage the handheld remote's interface to the hub and issue a generic "play" command and let the hub "do the right thing".
The Alexa Play event would then be: if triggered then send generic Play cmd.
This may be way too hard to implement...but I thought I'd ask...
