Feature Request: Start a Scene via Alexa

[ikad76]

This might not be the core intention of the app but would it be possible to start an Alexa scene via command e.g. startscene()? I understand that there are ways to set this up via virtual sensors in ST and an Alexa routine which starts the scene but its messy. If you have a lot of scenes you end up with a lot of virtual devices and routines which are hard to keep track of. Starting a scene via one command from a webcore piston would make things very neat.
By scene I mean e.g. a Phillips Hue scene like "Relax in Livingroom". I also have a few Smart home devices which don't integrate (well) with ST but integrate with Alexa via scenes which I would like to used in webcore pistons.

There is already a command like this but I have no easy way for users to get the ID they are required to pass to the executeRoutineId() command.

It's high up on my roadmap though!

You can locate the routine ID from here https://alexa.amazon.com/api/behaviors/automations
Just pass the id in the executeRoutineId() from any alexa device.

This item is now possible using the new Actions companion app in v3 beta
