Maybe a hint on how to open the skill silently

[CC1337]

Hey, I just was researching for my iobroker vis dashboard and also saw you are annoyed by having Alexa always respond when opening the dashboard. I found the following solution and maybe it makes sense for you and can also work for HA. iobroker vis supports javascript, and a rest API, so I send a health ping on my dashboard website every 30 seconds (get request toggling a state). If for 40+ sec no health ping came, the echo show went to start page. Then I could tell it to open a skill, which it will talk to. BUT! If I create a ROUTINE in the alexa app which starts the skill, it will do it silently if I trigger the routine via iobroker alexa adapter. Maybe that's also possible in HA. Another tip, if you put a looping background (z index)
