    diff between the plugin and the amazon alexa homeseer skill

    if i already have several amazon echoes distributed in every room in my house, can this plugin do anything more than the amazon alexa homeseer skill?

    this plugin is used to emulate an echo using regular speakers and microphone.

      Hi, I also am looking for clarification. So with this plugin, if I say "Homeseer, turn on living room light" homeseer will trigger the event, but if I say "Homeseer, what is the tallest building in the world" it will pass that on to alexa, and alexa will answer? and if that is the case, does the response come in Alexa's voice, or would the homeseer SAPI voice speak it?

        Everything is passed to Alexa (i.e amazon servers), and the response comes in Alexa's voice
        It lets you use Alexa without having an Echo.
        I designed it as a HomeSeer plugin but I could have made it a complete independent Windows app. The only direct interaction it has with Homeseer is the Event action to make Alexa start listening.

          Hi Spud,
          I have your Alexa Plugin for Echo Dot, but would like to use it with HomeSeer instead Echo Dot.
          Do you have any documentation for setup?

              Would it be correct then to say then that this plugin emulates an Echo device with all the bells and whistles? Does this mean that in order to control HS devices and events via voice control, the HST provided skills need to be available and in use?
              Real courage is not securing your Wi-Fi network.
