How to ask Alexa a question and evaluate the answer programmatically?

Third party integrations
1

Hello everyone,

I am using the Alexa Media Player integration to ask Alexa a question:

service: media_player.play_media
data:
  media_content_id: "\"Frage Küche Plus, wie lange läuft der Airfryer noch\""
  media_content_type: custom
target:
  device_id: 0b**********************************

The corresponding echo then answers the question. So that works.

But now I would like to have the answer not pronounced by an Echo, but processed in Home Assistant. How can I get the answer textually in Home Assistant?

Best regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I had the same question and that’s how I came across your post - funnily enough, I was looking for it for the exact same reason :smiley: In the meantime, did you happen to find a solution to get the remaining time of the Airfryer in Home Assistant?

No, wasn’t able to find a way to do this.
