An Alexa skill for putting messages into an SQS queue to log data into Baby Connect.

substitute RasPi for MacOS? (plus other questions)

Hey Platta!

Got to say that this looks awesome, and I've been hoping I'd find something like this along the way... I'm sure the wife will love it as much as I do... (and therefore approve the purchase of additional Echo devices. lol)

Is there any chance that the RasPi Listener could be adapted to run in Node.JS on MacOS?

I see the AWS SQS is free up to 1 million requests per month... I guess this skill alone wouldn't come close to using that per month... I guess one message on queue per Alexa command?

What is the syntax to use for the skill? is it just everything in the SampleUtterances.txt?

You're probably too far into your baby's development now, for it to matter particularly to you Have you considered adding commands for sleep? starting/stopping, etc?

Adding Medicine?

This one's a tougher request, I guess. It would still be nice to be able to add this (we have quite a medicine cabinet for Olivia). Although... Will Alexa recognise complex medicine names? possibly not.

The web-app doesn't have a javascript href for the medicine dialog, that I could see (in a 5 minute trawl) because it's on a popup context menu

Adding Sleep?

So it looks like from the listener standpoint, it could be quite easy to add this.

for both Start Sleep AND stop Sleep, the action is just the default dialog button, so really you'd just remove the diaper/bottle actions from a sleep.js in the baby-connect lib

I guess the tough thing though is to deciding to ignore state inspection (ie. Started Sleeping via the App, but Stop Sleeping via Alexa), and what would you do if you told Alexa to start sleeping, but it was already sleeping (by the websites capabilities, it would STOP sleeping)

Utterances for "default" child

Create some utterances and capabilities to allow for a "default" child. When no child is specified, the default will be used. What the default is would have to be hard coded in the Lambda function when it is deployed, I guess.
