Re: HAL, Amazon Echo/Dot, SMS, and TV Control
Tim, I'm trying to wrap my head around the HA-Bridge, but not sure what it can do for me since the Alexa app can already see my insteon devices. I assume this is for X-10?
Also, I'm looking at writing code to open HAL more for myself: Alexa, start HAL....HAL responds, "How may I help you?" but through the Echo. The conversation could then take place as if I were talking to HAL with HAL using the audio output of the Echo as a bluetooth speaker. SO, in essence, I would only have to translate what I say from my skill to HAL. |

Re: HAL, Amazon Echo/Dot, SMS, and TV Control
I'm not sure i understand what you mean by "I assume this is for X-10?" the interface will control any light in HAL... or macro, group, scene...
I haven't tried pairing the Echo with HAL using Bluetooth. Our new servers have built in Bluetooth. I am curious if the microphone array will be accessible via the Bluetooth or if they only exposed the speakers for streaming music. Tim
