This is awesome! Is this something you are developing? Do you have a tutorial, or blog explaining how the system works, its very interesting to find out how people have architected their solutions. Thanks

I have pushed Alexa webservice implementation to github at, https://github.com/sacdroid/alexa-genie. It is flask/python server which runs on raspberry on my home network. I will try to complete instructions to install required python modules over this week: https://github.com/sacdroid/alexa-genie/blob/master/README.md Thanks, Sachin.

Wow sounds awesome, it is very interesting to see how other people have implemented their solution, I myself have the same kind of setup but just using .Net. So it is awesome to checkout different implementations! Thanks again!

mm, I'm keen to look at Alexa dev using .NET like yourself. Do you have anything you can share on your project (vids, blog, code smaples etc.)?

Currently my skill only supports pause and play on chromecast. Movie in video is being played chromecast but you can do more with https://github.com/balloob/pychromecast like your playing your local videos/photos with alexa's voice command. Thanks, Sachin.
