Run Action Group with Alexa

Hi all,

Is it possible to launch an action group from Alexa? Something like “execute…” or shall I say “tell Indigo to execute…”
Does it work only in English?

Thanks

Yes, it requires the Custom Indigo Skill and is only available in English speaking regions only. There are several different phrases to get an Action Group to executed, but they do all require "tell Indigo". Example:

Alexa, tell Indigo to execute “toggle music”

You can also create a virtual on/off device (in the Virtual Devices interface) that executes the action group, so then you can just turn the virtual device on and off. You can have the same action group for on and off if you don't have two separate actions represented by turning the device on and off.

Once you have that set up, you can create a routine in the Alexa app so that you only need to say one word to execute it.
