anyone know of any way to ask alexa something and it pass the voice input converted to text to a hubitat device as a string parameter..
no.. hence the convert voice to text
ya wont work for my use case.. want to say alexa navigate to xyz restaurant and have it it passed to hubitat. to eventually sent to my tesla.. may have to bypass hubitat and use other direct tesla integration (but currently cannot find an integration that does).
just talked to tessie and there is an api command .. think currently only goes to address not sure above random wording.. it would only work if the request only finds one destination i assume.. currently their api supports it (undocumented) but not their alexa integration.
Or code your own Alexa skill, with an intent slot placeholder(s? - anything with more than 1 slot gets tricker to phase), and have that skill trigger either RM or Maker URL endpoints, passing the value (string) as a URL parameter (I pass custom URL parameters into RM from some external python scipts). - So easy enough on the HE end, but some mild work on the Alexa end.
A starting point may be: how to pass slot value in sample utterence in alexa skill? - Stack Overflow

If you haven't already, how do you feel about going down the Node Red Rabbit Hole? The node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel palette can output what you said to an Echo Device and provide a summary of it's response. That information, indicated by alexaResponse below could be sent to Hubitat.
