Just ordered hubitat, have some questions

[whimsicalimpulse]

Hi! I’m coming over from home assistant. I just wanted to try hubitat for various reasons!

I have an app on my iPhone called sonosequencr. Allows much easier usage of playlists etc. I’m using Alexa voice assistant.
I can make Alexa voice commands with IFTTT and webhooks. Is there a way to build Alexa voice commands with hubitat that will bypass need for IFTTT? Sorry if it’s a basic question. Thanks!

[RELEASE] Echo Speaks V4

RELEASE V4.1.0.0 After a couple of months of beta testing, I think it's time to release this!!!

In most cases this is sufficient before pairing. Sometimes though you may need to factory reset the device. Non Plus z-wave devices may have to be included/excluded …

If I understand your question correctly there is a Hubitat skill in Alexa and an Alexa app in Hubitat that enables control of whatever you want in Hubitat with Alexa. Very simple. Very easy.

Thanks! I have to use webhooks to interface with the app because the requests are made through a web request. From what I saw it looks like the Sonos integration with hubitat isn’t as detailed as the app I’m using.

So can I still make webhooks style integrations (trigger plus web request) with hubitat to continue using this app with Alexa?
