For Amazon Echo*
Welcome to Alexa Home! The goal of this project is to use your Amazon Echo* to control various home automation software. Interested in integrating a new module? Check out some of the code and send in a pull request! Glad to help out.
The repository includes two components: a web scraper to get commands from Amazon Echo history (watir-login.rb) and a Sinatra server that takes those commands and, using various modules, triggers certain actions.
