This is an Alexa skill to help supplement the Baby Buddy server and allow users to record diaper changes, feedings, tummy times, etc. with their voice.
This skill requires Baby Buddy v1.11.0 or newer to allow for diaper changes without any contents.
For actions that require a duration, a start keyword creates a named timer and a stop keyword closes out that timer and creates the feeding, tummy time, sleep, etc.
Currently, all intents allow you to specify which child but if no child is specified and there is only one child in the system, it will assume that child. TODO: If there is more than one child and no child is specified, prompt user for which child.
There are a lot of ways to instantiate any given intent and they can be found by examining the interaction model.
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to start feeding (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to stop feeding (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to start tummy time (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to stop tummy time (for [Child's Name])
Alternatively, you can record a Tummy Time entry with a duration, which will create an entry ending at the current time.
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to record a 15 minute tummy time (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to record a tummy time (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to log a 25 minute tummy time (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to log a tummy time (for [Child's Name])
If a duration is not provided Alexa will prompt you to provide it.
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to start sleeping (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to stop sleeping (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to record 15 minutes of sleep (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to log 25 minutes of sleep (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy how long [Child's Name] has been awake
Note: in order for the Alexa skill to know if your child is currently sleeping, the active timer tracking their sleep must have the name "sleeping". If you start the sleep session from the Alexa skill, the timer name will already be named correctly.
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to log diaper change (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy to record a [wet, solid, full, empty] diaper change (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy when was the last feeding (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy how much [Child's Name] has eaten today
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy when the last diaper change was (for [Child's Name])
Alexa, ask Baby Buddy when the last [wet, solid, full, empty] change was (for [Child's Name])
This project uses nvm for Node configuration.

This project depends on the ask-cli for deployment to AWS. Please follow the instructions here to install.
Note: The ask-cli cannot be installed using yarn and has to be installed using npm.
nvm use
cd lambda/custom
yarn
yarn setup # Will prompt for Baby Buddy URL and API keyThe ask-cli deploy command will automatically create the skill on your AWS account and a lambda function. This needs to be done first in order to get local development to work.
Run the following command from the repo root:
ask deployThe setup script will create a VSCode launch.json file to use for local development. Developers can use something like ngrok to redirect requests to their local dev instance for debugging. Just update the Endpoint section on the Build tab at developer.amazon.com to use the ngrok URL.
