Virtual Routine Trigger skill for alexa

#1

Hi, has anybody used this with the vera - Virtual Routine Trigger skill for alexa? Is it possible to trigger alexa routines from LUUP codes in vera?

“Every trigger will be made available as a smart home device in your Alexa account. You can use these devices as triggers for your Alexa routines”

You would need to forward a port and have the virtual routine trigger monitor a virtual switch status. You could then just turn on or off the virtual switch

or

have the VRT monitor data a web accessible site/api, and have luup update that data on that site/api.

What are you trying to do? I trigger Alexa routines via Vera and execute some logic, usually related to music, weather or similar things.
Unfortunately you’ll need a Linux box, because current Vera’s package are somewhat limited. But it can be done.
