Has anyone had any experience with this?

E.g. I have a evapolar personal AC unit, that I could integrate with via...

Seems that amazon are getting behind bespoken too..

I use an Alexa skill I node red that does something similar.

What do you use under node-red for this? Looks like the free version of bespoken won't let me continue using this after the professional professional trial expires..

Basically, I am trying to create a switch in hubitat that will execute a "tell <> to turn on device" via alexa…

Cheers!

I stumbled across this and got the impression it was for interfacing node-red with Alexa E.g. you can invoke a node-red workflow rather then the other way around ?
