Trigger [pm2](https://github.com/Unitech/pm2) and shell commands through [Alexa](https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/alexa). Useful for selfhosted setups and local servers.

## Requirements

- **Node >=10.0.0**

- Amazon Alexa

- [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com/) account

## Setup

Clone and install the source:

```sh

$ git clone https://github.com/Cyan903/alexa-triggers.git

$ cd alexa-triggers

$ npm i

```

Copy and edit the configs:

```sh

$ sudo cp ext/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/alexa.conf

$ cp ext/config.example.json config.json

```

Create and configure an account on [ifttt](https://ifttt.com/). Create an applet and select `Amazon Alexa` for `if this`. Choose `say a specific phrase`. Next, select `webhooks` for `then that`.



    

    



Finally, configure the webhook to match config.json.



    



Now you should be set. All that's left is to run the server and make sure it's accessible through [ifttt](https://ifttt.com/). You can keep the server running with [pm2](https://github.com/Unitech/pm2) or any other process manager.

```sh

$ pm2 start src/triggers.js

```
