Have you ever wanted Alexa to prompt you and ask you a question? Well now you can! In this video we are setting up Alexa Actionable Notifications for Alexa with Home Assistant. We will be creating an Alexa skill and running through everything you will need to get this working.
By the end of this video you should be able to put together automations that Alexa will prompt you to run.
My last Alexa video got 400 Likes. Lets try and beat that by smashing that like button!
