Voice Monkey allows you to trigger routines and notifications remotely using an API.
This means you can now trigger Alexa Routines via Zapier, IFTTT, a web browser, a RESTful API or as part of your smart home set-up from platforms such as Home Assistant, OpenHAB and Node-red.
Please enable the Skill, link your Amazon account and then visit https://voicemonkey.io to get started.
* Warning *: This is a geeky tool for smart home and Alexa enthusiasts. If you've never heard of Zapier, IFTTT or an API, or are unsure about creating Alexa Routines, Voice Monkey is likely not for you. Otherwise, please continue...
Voice Monkey allows you to trigger Alex Routines based on just about anything -- an incoming email or SMS, a Facebook message, a Tweet, a weather alert or temperature change, website events, a server error, smart home device events such as a security camera motion detection event, or even a physical button connected to something like a Raspberry Pi or Arduino. The possibilities are endless.
Coming soon, you'll also be able to make notifications to your Alexa devices.
