Running Alexa skill from HA

Configuration
1

Hi

I have HA integrated with Alexa so I can turn off lights, TVs etc that are currently controlled by HA.

What I would like to do if reverse this scenario and use HA to run an Alexa skill. BMW have a number of skills on Alexa so I can say ‘Alexa lock my BMW’ and it locks my car doors remotely. Is there anyway I can use HA to run this so I can integrate it into my ‘bedtime’ routine?

Thanks

Might be able to bypass the Echo all together. Unfortunately I’m still a super n00b when comes to all of this so finding that link is about as far my help extends.

Hi @gr4z ,

Mate you are so far ahead… I wish I could help you.

So far I was able to run Alexa in a pi and configured emulated_hue component in HASS. I can see the exposed component via emulated_hue but after this I am lost. Should I now configure the alexa component and skills in dev account ? Do I have to remember the exact wording of the utterance ??

May be its too much asking but would you please share the steps necessary for this to run ( in a idiot’s guide format ?).

Thanks
