Now say Alexa ask homeassistant to run <some script> and Alexa will run that script for you.

Support for Launch Requests

+

There may be times when you want to respond to a launch request initiated from a command such as “Alexa, Red Alert!”.

+

To start you need to get the skill id:

+
    +
  • Log in to Amazon developer console
    • +
  • Click the Alexa button at the top of the console
    • +
  • Click the Alexa Skills Kit Get Started button +
      +
    • Locate the skill for which you would like Launch Request support
      • +
    • Click the “View Skill ID” link and copy the ID
      • +
    +
    • +
+

The configuration is the same as an intent with the exception being you will use your skill ID instead of the intent name.

+
intent_script:
+  amzn1.ask.skill.08888888-7777-6666-5555-444444444444:

+      entity_id: script.red_alert
+    speech:
+      type: plain
+      text: OK

Giving Alexa Some Personality

In the examples above, we told Alexa to say OK when she successfully completed the task. This is effective but a little dull! We can again use templates to spice things up a little.

First create a file called alexa_confirm.yaml with something like the following in it (go on, be creative!):
