Controlling these devices through Alexa

Open MattIPv4 opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Sorry if this isn't really the place for this question...

I've got a bridge set up with a load of lightbulbs running in it and these work perfectly through the HomeKit app with just the single Python script running on my home server.

What would be amazing was if I could control these with voice commands through the Alexa network I have around my house. Does anyone know if there is a simple way to link HomeKit devices to Alexa?

I'm concerned it will involve writing and publishing a custom skill myself, which seems silly when its all within my local network...

Try linking them to Home Assistant (support both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa) and customizing from there, since HAP-python mentioned that it is integrated with the Home Assistant framework
