    Stopping Music on Echo's Using Alexa API Possible?

    Spud, I know your app just connects to the API, and can't control echos locally at the moment.

    However, that got me thinking. Can you control other echos in ANY way using the Alexa API. Mostly, I just need to "stop" the music on one or all Echo's in the house.

    If you ever see updates, can you please add this to your plugin to control this.

    My use case is to create an event when Kodi Media Center starts playing, the Echo Dot pauses/stops.

    The API used my this plugin is the AVS API (Alexa Voice Service). It doesn't allow to control any Echo device, and I don't think there is currently any other API that can let us do what you want. I will keep an eye open for this though...
