node-red nodes for interacting with alexa

npm install node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel

node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel

Forked from cakebake/node-red-contrib-alexa-remote-cakebaked which was forked from 586837r/node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2 to keep dependencies up to date.

This is a collection of Node-RED nodes for interacting with the Alexa API. You can emulate routine behaviour, control and query your devices and much more!

All functionality is from alexa-remote2. The goal is to expose all of its functionality in node-red nodes.
