Alexa routine triggered by pimatic

---

Hi,

I tried those days to create a routine right in alexa. This should be triggered by Pimatic. But you seem to need a switch or motion detector.
Has anyone managed to bypass that or does the plugin need an extension?

you could use the script from here:

@slimmy if this is your application (what @thex has posted: remote connection script to alexa) than be aware that there have been some changes in the last time. If you have the same problems “connection error” or “cookie error” while using the script this can easily been solved by changing some lines. I can post the modified lines later.

@fabian would be interested in your changes. I had to just change the useragent to a current one to make it work.

I managed to run it despite the error message. I would be happy about a dynamic solution.

@slimmy @thex I have modified the script file
alexa_remote_control.sh with the following lines. Afterwards all errors were gone.
