Alexa Adapter

Control your devices with alexa.

How does it work?

The adapter emulates a philips hue bridge.

Your echo device will directly talk to the gateway.

Therefore no alexa skill is required and the gateway does not need to be exposed to the internet.

How to use it

Alexa, turn foo on

Alexa, turn foo off

Configuration

1. Go to http://[your-gateway]/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=local-token&scope=/things:readwrite
2. Create a token
3. Add the token to the config

Add devices to alexa

1. Go to https://alexa.amazon.de/spa/index.html#appliances
2. Click on Search

Limitations

• Currently only boolean properties are supported
• To add new devices you have to restart (disable/enable) the addon and then trigger a new alexa search
