Probably the most comprehensive collection of IFTTT Recipes for Echo

First and foremost, here is the link of all recipes: https://ifttt.com/p/saymosaic/shared After playing with Echo on IFTTT for a while to figure out pros and cons, I assembled and created a pretty comprehensive list of useful IFTTT Amazon Echo recipes (e.g. turn on/off lights, play music, order pizza, turn on/off security camera...). One interesting hack is I assembled several recipes into [b]"bundles"[/b] so you can trigger many actions by saying the same one command. Several examples ("good night") can be find at http://www.saymosaic.com/ There are also some recipes from "amazon_alexa" that are cool and useful. BTW, we are developers for Amazon Echo ( http://www.saymosaic.com/). Our development is to connect the Internet of Things with your voice. Hopefully we can make this cool new thing more helpful:)

Thanks for sharing. Can someone tell me if I am wrong. It is currently the case that all such actions are of the form ... You say something to echo --> some action happens in another system And notably, the flow never goes the other way. I look forward to the day when Alexa can speak based on some external event. But this is not possible right now, correct?

Hi Jay, Thanks for posting! It's a highly requested feature, but yes, you are correct -- at the moment that functionality is not available. Thanks!
