    Amazon Echo - Alexa skills for Enigma2

    Hi All,

    I was wondering does anyone know of a Enigma2 skill for the Amazon echo, whereby you say "Alexa, select channel 404", "Alexa, goto BBC one" etc

    Better than that, via an ir extender my TV can control my VU+ box, so i say to my TV remote, Tune Sky sports 1 HD and it (most times) turns my VU+ box over to the correct channel.
    Obviously you need standard sky or virgin channel lists loaded.

    I have just ordered the harmony as I'll make use of it, but I was hoping to make use of the webif controls as it would be direct. With the harmony I assume that it was have to issue a 4 0 1 command separately and take longer rather that webif which would be instant channel selection.

    Hi,
    with a HA-Bridge you can use Alexa to control Enigma2 through http-requests. I also control my Harmonies with it.

    Hi,
    this is to switch to channel "Das Erste" on Astra. This is the target item for on.

    All other things you can do with the web interface can be entered in the same fashion.
