Support for Voice Automation using IFTTT and/or Amazon Echo
I use Cox Homelife security, and would very much like to control my system using my voice with my Amazon Echo device. The problem is, Cox has not enabled support for this feature yet. This feature would allow me to set my alarm with my voice by saying "Alexa, tell HomeLife to arm the system" I could do it anywhere in the house, and it would be a great feature to have. Other alarm companies have already added this feature, but I want to stay with Cox as a full service provider. I wonder when we can get this feature from Cox? Alternatively, Cox could add integration via IFTTT (If this then that). This would allow anyone to add custom programs which do multiple things. With IFTTT, for example, a person could use an app or speak to his automation device and say "Alexa, trigger AWAY MODE", and she could respond by setting the alarm, turning off the lights, turning down the heat, and who knows what else! The sky is the limit, and it would be customizable. Very fun and useful. Please add support for Amazon Echo and/or IFTTT soon. It would be a great enhancement to Cox services.19KViews0likes8Comments
