This app runs on AWS Lambda and acts as a simple query engine for the Greenville Trolley Tracker. It's interfaced with via the Alexa voice command engine, provided by Amazon. I'm testing it out on my Amazon Tap, but it should work equally well using an Echo, Dot, or any other Alexa-enabled smart device.
This is a personal learning project for now, but suggestions are welcomed as issues! If you fork this and discover an operational bug I'd love to hear about it as well.
Interesting in forking and building onto this project? Setup is simple:
cd package && npm installzip ../alex-trolley.zip ./*- Upload the resulting ZIP file to AWS Lambda.
- Configure your test Alexa app with your new Lambda endpoint.
Thanks to the awesome volunteer team at Code For Greenville for setting up the API this relies on! I sincerely hope this becomes a useful addition to the Trolley Tracker suite of apps.
