Virtual switch to control Sonos station/Nest temp up or down?

[JDRoberts]

There are a couple of topics where people are working on nest controls. I would just look at those. Check the project category.

SmartThings and Amazon Echo (Using ASK)

So there are a few other posts that I have been posting in… But I am going to start a new topic to keep track of the progress that I am making in this project and stop spamming the other topics. I have been working on integrating the Echo with SmartThings and I have been making some good progress! UPDATE: For anyone who is interested in using it, Please go to: https://alexa.zpriddy.com Please let me know of any problems you find while using it so I can fix it! Quick Notes: This code is designed to be run on a ‘server’ with port 443 available from the internet (This is a requirement from Amazon). The server can be as small as a RaspberryPi hosted at your house. You will probably need a decent understanding of linux and networking to set it up. [ I am also playing with the idea of all…

As far as Sonos, there’s a topic for that as well.

Advanced Sonos Commands for Alexa/Echo (choose playlists/radio, control volume, skip songs, etc.)

UPDATED TO REFLECT THE NEW FEATURES OF ECHO-SONOS: I have noticed that many people with Amazon’s Echo and Sonos devices have been wishing that they could do more than just play/pause the music that was already in the Sonos queue. Luckily, someone wrote a really great set of Echo-Sonos instructions on how to integrate Alexa and Sonos. Basically uses jishi’s node-sonos-http-api and merges those commands into a new Alexa skill. Using Echo-Sonos, Echo can: Global commands (no rooms required): Presets: “Alexa, tell Sonos to play Rock” Pause all: “Alexa, tell Sonos to pause all” Resume all: “Alexa, tell Sonos to resume all” Room-specific commands, where “ROOM” could be any of your Sonos room names (eg Kitchen, Master Bedroom, and so on): Playlists: “Alexa, tell Sonos to start playlist…

I don’t have it either those devices so I can’t do much more than point you to those topics.

I’m physically really exhausted right now, in large part because of dealing with the poltergeists. I had to call my neighbor to come over to take the batteries out of the motion sensor to see if we can get the touchless switch working again. So I’m not doing a lot of LMGTFY right now.
