Elvis Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I guess I missed the new DirecTV Alexa skill -- or perhaps it's just improved. Anyway, we use it and like it. Is there an easy way to trigger C4 to turn on the TV and set the input to DIRECTV if someone asks Alexa for a DIRECTV command? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucecampbell Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The forum seems quiet....I'm after some help with Alexa too... If DIRECTV is a device in one or more of your rooms, then you should be able to enable it in your C4 account using your 4Sight login. Alexa can then control this devive via "Turn on Driectv in the lounge" (I don't know what Directv is - so making assumptions here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livitup Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I believe Elvis was asking about using the native Alexa DirecTV skill and having a DirecTV box event result in a Control4 action. I know that you can use the Control4 skill to turn on “watch” endpoints (“Alexa, turn on Family Room DorecTV”) but I’m not aware of any way to make a non-Control4 skill trigger a Control4 action. Maybe the Epic driver can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucecampbell Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The Epic driver allows 'on', 'off', 'up', 'down' and 'set'. With set you can then use epic's variables values - though I think this is limited to numbers 1 to 100 So pretty much anything you can program in C4 you can program into epic driver custom triggers. C4's new voice scene seems to do the 'on', 'off' triggers just as well now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
