Domoticz

This is the easiest method (and free) for everyone who knows how to deal with the Domoticz API.

Only 5 clics to define an order like 'Alexa trigger the opening of the blind" or "Alexa trigger the alarm." This trigger fires every time you say "Alexa trigger" + the phrase that you have defined.

In French, the magic Word is "Alexa déclenche" + ... l'ouverture du portail ...

Ok, Here is the howto :

Use the IFTTT.com services (totally free), that integrates Alexa and can send a request to domoticz. (Of course , you need domoticz to be reachable by public internet : Https + login/password protected + box port translation + domain name or static IP

- Create your IFTTT account
- My Applets / New Applet
- If +This : Choose "amazon Alexa" (You will need to input your amazon Login/Password the first time)
- Choose trigger : "Say a specific phrase"
- what do you want to say : input the phrase after the "Alexa trigger ..."
- +that : Choose action service : "Webhooks" then choose "Make a web request".
- input the domoticz command in URL like :
https://login:password@yourDomainOrIP:yourPort/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=40&switchcmd=On&level=0&passcode=
Read the wiki for the API command, or I advise , you intervept the request in your developper Tools of your browser / Network (Ctrl-Maj-E in Firefox)

That's all. Now You can create IFTTT applet to command all your switchs.

Why not use HA Bridge much easier as it imports domoticz devices and links direct to your Alexa account.

Thanks for the hint. A small correction, you need to use http and not https to make it work
