Alexa and HTTP requests (nothing to do with Gladys)

Random
1

Hello everyone!

I’m taking advantage of my move to V4 (before a very likely return to v3) to try some other things on the home automation side (I finally have some time, I’m taking advantage of it).

Nothing to do with Gladys, but I would like to know how to send an HTTP request (like http://monnomdomaine:port/preset.htm?set9=1&set10=0) to my IPX800 using Alexa?

I tried IFTTT, but the free version only allows you to create 3 actions… Already a first step, but limited… Especially since it would only be to increase the WAF… :sweat_smile:

Does anyone have an idea about another service that can do this? (I would only have a small ten commands to make).

Do I have to create a skill for this?
If so, can a skill be private and not accessible to others?

I think it’s possible now with Gladys 4 and node-red! :wink:

Thanks @cce66 for your reply.

I don’t know node-red at all… I’m going to do some research.
