Hey Product Hunt, We’re big fans of Amazon Alexa at Roger HQ. Today seems to be the perfect time to share a little something we hacked on the side. You can now add Alexa as a contact on Roger and get access to its powerful capabilities right from within Roger. If you want to order the Echo Dot (or really anything else), simply talk to Alexa on Roger. :… See more

@milesfitzgerald oh, this is pretty rad. This could also be used to troll your family/roomates, sending commands to Alexa/Echo Dot remotely. 👹

@rrhoover Haha play some 70's Disco @ random times 🔥😎

@milesfitzgerald Just got your app and started messing with it. Very cool! I connected to my Alexa, but unfortunately it doesn't allow me to play music on her remotely. Says, "Amazon Prime Music isn't supported with this device". :-(

@nyalex Hey Alex, we're actively talking to the Amazon Echo team to let you control your Echo. For now you can only talk to Alexa.

@milesfitzgerald Oh ok, no worries. Still helpful. Obviously it would be nice to get Alexa to do stuff when I am a couple minutes from home, for example.

@nyalex Yes it be awesome to setup a mood too. Alexa "Jazz Night", she would set Nest temp, music, and lights :) 🎶🎶🎶

@milesfitzgerald Heck yeah. And whiskey in glass? On the rocks?
