You can setup Amazon echo to voice trigger any scene/switch/activity in domoticz using HA-bridge (e.g. “Alexa, turn on living room lights” ). I have been using this setup with an amazon echo outside the target market for the echo (In India) and it works beautifully well. The HA-bridge emulates Philips hue devices that is supported natively by the echo
Pre-requisites
- An Amazon Echo device
- A spare RPi/processing capacity on your domoticz box/ any other linux box
- HA-bridge running on the above mentioned box
I use a spare Gen 2 Rpi B that I had lying unused The rest of the guide assumes that the HA-bridge is running on a separate box
