Playing around with Amazon Echo (technical interface discussion)

Has anyone else succeeded in getting the ThingLayer SmartApp to work along with the amazon-echo-ha-bridge? I’m struggling to get this endpoint going so I can issue dimming commands. I posted the step-by-step process for deploying the SmartApp here but it got pulled for being off-topic. I’m not sure where to discuss troubleshooting this, as I’m not using the SmartApp as intended and I don’t think I should be bugging the author for off label use.

Really, I just need an endpoint that will allow dimming because the standard REST endpoint SmartApp linked above doesn’t.
