Alexa Skill to display Lovelace dashboards on Echo Show
This Alexa skill adds a voice command to open Lovelace dashboards on the Echo Show in the built-in Silk browser.
How it works
Let's assume your Home Assistant URL is http://homeassistant.local:8123
. Home Assistant dashboard URLs then have the following structure:
http://homeassistant.local:8123/<dashboard-url>/<view-url>
Let's assume you call the skill "dashboard viewer" (this can be changed). When you set this skill up you specify an invocation like
Alexa, tell dashboard viewer to open page <number>
and a dashboard URL like
http://homeassistant.local:8123/dashboard-url
When the skill is invoked, it uses the OpenURL APL command to open the page
http://homeassistant.local:8123/dashboard-url/<number>
in the Silk browser on the Echo Show. That way you can open any view of the specified dashboard as long as you assign numbers as URLs.
