mapeter Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 When you tell Alexa "Goodnight", she provides a few different responses. The software recognizes that phrase and is acting on it. The same is true for "Good Morning", "Hello", "I'm Home", "Goodbye" and "I'm Leaving". It would be cool if these phrases could trigger an ISY program. Does anyone know if this is on Amazon's roadmap?

rehills Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 For that reason, I chose Night Time as my phrase to shut the house down for the night. Quote
mapeter Posted February 29, 2016 Author Posted February 29, 2016 For that reason, I chose Night Time as my phrase to shut the house down for the night. I will have to go that route as well. I would just hoping to eliminate saying the words "turn on" along with the spoken phrase. Quote
jerlands Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I will have to go that route as well. I would just hoping to eliminate saying the words "turn on" along with the spoken phrase. I have programs using the spoken phrase "Set Home" "Set Sleep" "Set Evening" and all I have to say is Alexa, Set Sleep On or Alexa, Set Home Off Jon... Quote
stusviews Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Our favorite is, "turn the morning on" which opens all the bedroom window coverings (drapes, shades). Quote

MWareman Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) I have a (Maker channel) skill defined as 'Goodnight' - calling my 'Goodnight' program (via the portal integration). 'Alexa, trigger goodnight' works every time. It's pretty much my only skill in common use. Edited March 1, 2016 by MWareman Quote
btreinders Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Alexa, turn on good night has been working for me since the beginning. Maybe use two words? Quote
ScottAvery Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I think the OP wanted a hook into the predefined exchange with Alexa. Amazon would have to allow an option to append CoHo calls to the canned interactions, which seems like a pretty good idea, really. Quote

It would be cool if Alexa executed an action in addition to her canned responses. Maybe someday... Quote
