Amazon Echo (aka Alexa)
I got an Amazon Alexa (Echo) Dot for Christmas and quickly discovered that you can create custom Skills for it.
Interesting Skills
- Plex - Have Alexa start media on a Plex device.
- Alternative Facts
Skills to find or create (pipe dreams)
Family Notes
- USER: Alexa, Note for <person>
- ALEXA: What is the new Note for <person>?
- USER: <short note>
- ALEXA: OK, I'll tell <person> <short note>.
- USER: Alexa, Read Notes for <person>?
- USER: Alexa, Clear Notes for <person>.
- USER: Alexa, Who has Notes?
I don't know how much 'storage' ability Alexa has, it might be interesting if we can create a Family Message Board of sorts.
