Revers Alexa and ST Integration

[JDRoberts]

@scooterpuff

I am using ActionTiles on an Android device as a nice looking control device. I have some TP-Link100 smart plugs. I can control them with the Kasa app on my phone or with Alexa. I know there is no native control for these plugs in ST. Is there a way that I can use ST to link back to my Alexa and through Alexa controle those devices?

The following FAQ should help (this is a clickable link):

FAQ: Can I trigger an Echo Action without Speaking to It?

Breaking News!!! As of August 2018, a SmartThings-connected Contact or Motion Sensor can now trigger an Amazon echo routine if you live in the US, Canada, or the UK !!! Amazon has now added the ability for some sensors to trigger an Amazon echo routine (not a smartthings routine), which does let you trigger other smart home devices which are not connected to SmartThings without having to speak an echo command! Or you can set it up so that your echo devices will speak a customized phrase, play a doorbell chime, or various other sound effects. And even better, that contact sensor can be a virtual contact sensor. And although it’s a bit tricky, a community member has created an edge driver that will create BOTH a virtual switch and a virtual sensor and keep the pair in synch. So…

But as @gutheinz suggested, you should look into just connecting them to smartthings without using echo in the middle.
