I know that adding an equivalent function to the IFTTT Trigger solution for Indigo to trigger Alexa routines is already in the feature request list. But here are some additional thoughts on how it might be implemented…
-An additional Model could be added to the drop-down when creating a new virtual device that might be called
“Alexa Routine Trigger”
-This new type of virtual device, when published to Alexa, would send a “button press” trigger to Alexa when
turned on from any from any Indigo Trigger, Schedule, or Action. The state would automatically be reset to
“off” so as to be waiting for the next “on” command.
-Not sure if the user assigned Indigo name for the Trigger Device could be used as the name of the trigger
device that would show up in the Alexa device list. But it would be great if that would work.
-When an Indigo Trigger Device is published to Alexa it would be great if default type could be something like
“button”.
