Alexa (Echo) as a 'Resource'

[johnjces]

Please forgive me if I have missed this somewhere, as I have STFed, Googled and etc. on how to make my Alexa a Resource in ISY programming. There's a lot of stuff on resources but nothing that pertains to Alexa as far as I can tell yet it seems others have done it.

I have Alexa working very well in my ISY 994i v5.3.4 for doing everything I am too lazy to get up and do and I also have her saying stuff when a device state changes and etc. But doing this forces me to go into the Alexa App and set up this stuff and to setup what I want her to say in response to the device or variable.

I have seen some programing that simply has:

Resource 'Say something'

I am assuming that the words in the single quotes is what Alexa is supposed to speak. I am not sure tho. It just seems 'easier' to have Alexa set up as a resource and tell her what to say in my programs.

Where can I find out how to do this? Or does it not make sense when going into the Alexa App you can pretty much do this stuff there.

Thanks again for your help!!!
