Welcome to Tepuy! A fork of Alexa-Home by Zach Feldman. The goal of this project is to use your Amazon Echo to control various home automation software and other cool nifty applications.
- Clone this project from GitHub on a terminal.
- Setup some Environmental Variables in ~/.env such as:
export NEST_EMAIL=your_nest_email@awesome.com export NEST_PASS=your_nest_password_not_test123
export AMAZON_EMAIL=youramazonlogin export AMAZON_PASSWORD=your_awesome_pass_not_12345
- For IFTTT Integration set this parameters:
export GMAIL_EMAIL=yourgmail@gmail.com
(Consider using 2-factor authentication and obtain an application key!): export GMAIL_PASS=youremailpassword
(Define a seed in here, that way others without the seed can't send emails to you and trigger IFTTT) export GMAIL_SEED=thisistheseedyoullneedfortheIFTTTrecipe-CHANGEME-TO-SOMETHING-RANDOM
- To post a tweet then. Call Alexa: "alexa tweet mytweet" and Tepuy will send an email to your address with the subject (using the seed) and the body with the tweet.
- You need to create a IFTTT Recipe: if gmail subject is 'echo tweet myseed' then post body to twitter.

TODO
- Save last command locally so we don't run it again on second startup.
