 The non-cloud based solutions for letting Home Automation systems be controlled from Amazon’s Alexa devices have always relied on emulating another device that Amazon supports directly. Yes it requires a working internet connection to do the voice recognition,​ but to then do yet another trip up to the cloud, run a huge amount of code, and then send a result back to control a device that is sitting literally 2 feet from your XTension server has always driven me insane as to the stupidity of that plan. The non-cloud based solutions for letting Home Automation systems be controlled from Amazon’s Alexa devices have always relied on emulating another device that Amazon supports directly.
