●● VIRTUAL TRIGGERS / BUTTONS ●●

Alexa routines are powerful for automating daily tasks and for controlling smart home devices. However, the actions that can trigger Alexa routines are currently limited.

Voice Monkey allows you to trigger Alex Routines based on just about anything -- an incoming email or SMS, a Facebook message, a Tweet, a Flic button, a weather alert or temperature change, website events, a server error, smart home device events such as a security camera motion detection event, or even a physical button connected to something like a Raspberry Pi or Arduino. The possibilities are endless.

You can also trigger virtual devices from IFTTT, Zapier, a web browser, a RESTful API or as part of your smart home set-up from platforms such as Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant, OpenHAB, Hubitat, Homey and Node-red.

Please enable the Skill, link your Amazon account and then visit https://voicemonkey.io/start to get started.


●● TEXT TO SPEECH ANNOUNCEMENTS (TTS) ●●

Give your smart home a voice. Voice Monkey allows you to send your own announcement text which Alexa will speak. Send anything. This is great for sending dynamic information to your Echo speakers based on an external event e.g. 'motion detected from camera one'


●● IMAGES / VIDEOS / AUDIO ●●

As well as Text To Speech announcements, Voice Monkey can send media content such as images, audio and video to your devices.

Send either an image or video directly to your Echo Shows or or other screen enabled Alexa devices. Simply send a secure https URL of the image or mp4 video via the API and you can display it on your device's screen.
Or send a personal MP3 file to play on your speaker.
