Learn programming for Alexa devices, extend it to smart home devices and control the Raspberry Pi

The book is split into two parts: the first part covers creating Alexa skills and the second part, designing Internet of Things and Smart Home devices using a Raspberry Pi.

The first chapters describe the process of Alexa communication, opening an Amazon account and creating a skill for free. The operation of an Alexa skill and terminology such as utterances, intents, slots, and conversations are explained. Debugging your code, saving user data between sessions, S3 data storage and Dynamo DB database are discussed.

In-skill purchasing, enabling users to buy items for your skill as well as certification and publication is outlined. Creating skills using AWS Lambda and ASK CLI is covered, along with the Visual Studio code editor and local debugging. Also covered is the process of designing skills for visual displays and interactive touch designs using Alexa Presentation Language.

The second half of the book starts by creating a Raspberry Pi IoT 'thing' to control a robot from your Alexa device. This covers security issues and methods of sending and receiving MQTT messages between an Alexa device and the Raspberry Pi.

Creating a smart home device is described including forming a security profile, linking with Amazon, and writing a Lambda function that gets triggered by an Alexa skill. Device discovery and on/off control is demonstrated.

Next, readers discover how to control a smart home Raspberry Pi display from an Alexa skill using Simple Queue Service (SQS) messaging to switch the display on and off or change the color.

A node-RED design is discussed from the basic user interface right up to configuring MQTT nodes. MQTT messages sent from a user are displayed on a Raspberry Pi.

A chapter discusses sending a proactive notification such as a weather alert from a Raspberry Pi to an Alexa device. The book concludes by explaining how to create Raspberry Pi as a stand-alone Alexa device.

Keep em soft and lasting!
Size: Queen, Color: Dark Gray
Oh wow are these things soft. I bought them for my RV and Toy Hauler beds and they feel terrific. They are warm and probably won't come apart on you if you take care of them. The trick to that for me seems to be not to let them get "Crunchy". If you've owned these before you know what I mean. When the backing material begins to go and they fall apart in tiny chunks. This pro-tip is how mine have lasted longer than I had hoped: 1. Wash them in cold water. Hot water tends to get to these things after a few washed. Very little agitation as well. Don't spin them round and round and rip them up. Wash on the gentle cycle. 2. No bleach, color safe or not, and try to use very little detergent or use something like Woolite for delicates. Baby clothes detergent also works well. Something super mild. 3. Dry them with no or very little heat on a very low tumble. I tend to do the two I have together and that's all I put in the dryer. Mine have held up amazingly well for the abuse they take and they are a fluffy as new. This is a win product for the price, you won't regret it if you take care of it. Hope you found this helpful!

Love the color, and texture of the blanket. Great price too!
Size: California King, Color: Peacock Blue
We have this blanket sandwiched between our top sheet and comforter. My husband feels nice and warm with the blanket, but I'm a warm sleeper. I feel comfortable also since a keep a floor fan aimed to my side of the bed. Problem solved and we both get a comfortable, good night's sleep.

Soft, Luxurious & Perfect for Hair and Skin!
Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 11 - Light Turquoise, Number of Items: 2, Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 11 - Light Turquoise, Number of Items: 2
These satin pillowcases are honestly amazing. The material feels super soft, smooth, and cooling on the skin, and they make my bed look so elegant and luxurious. I bought them mainly to help protect my hair from frizz and dryness, They’re also very comfortable to sleep on and don’t feel cheap at all. The color is beautiful in person, exactly like the photos on Amazon. I washed them already and they still kept their softness and shine. Definitely worth the purchase for the price I would 100% buy again and recommend to anyone looking for cute, comfortable satin pillowcases.”
