# alexacast

Alexa skill to control local Chromecast devices. Check out the documentation on

[alexandra](https://github.com/erik/alexandra) for setup instructions. You'll

need to run it on the same network as your Chromecast.

TL;DR:

```

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

$ python server.py --device='Your Chromecast Name'

```

Then log in the [Amazon Developer Portal](https://developer.amazon.com/login.html) to setup the skill.

## usage

(assuming your trigger word is "chromecast")

- "alexa, ask chromecast to skip this"

- "alexa, ask chromecast to pause"

- "alexa, ask chromecast to play"

- "alexa, ask chromecast to reconnect"

  - if everything stops working this might fix it

- "alexa, ask chromecast to reboot"

  - sometimes the chromecast gets itself into dumb states and needs to be

    restarted.
