Hi all,
So for years it has really annoyed me that C4 chose not to expose devices properly to Alexa such that you can take full advantage of Alexa's built in room context awareness.
What do I mean by this? Imagine you want to say "Alexa, turn off the tv." Wouldn't it be cool if it knew which room you were in and turned off the correct TV? Well you can't currently because C4 has chosen to show devices like TVs to Alexa as light switches instead of TVs. Not sure why, but I guess it doesn't matter. Amazon also limits room room awareness to certain devices.
My driver solves this problem and removes any restrictions. It allows you to know for any Alexa routine which Alexa device triggered it. And it puts it in a variable you can use in C4 programming
So I have the driver working, but I need some beta testers to test it. And here is the catch: it requires a nodejs component to be hosted somewhere. Theoretically this could be a C4 controller, but I wouldn't recommend it. I've created some docker containers to make it easy. I'm looking for some volunteers to help me test it. Ideally, it would be someone with some nodejs experience. But the ability to host docker images is a requirement. Obviously, being able to add drivers to C4 and program it is a requirement too. Any takers?
Thanks,
TD
