Use this library to create smart-home skills? #672

Closed jamesrusso closed 3 years ago

jamesrusso commented 3 years ago

I've spent the evening looking, but is there any Amazon provided library for the development of smart home skills? This library seems to only apply to custom skills?

I'd even be happy with just types for the smart home skill request and responses but can't seem to find them anywhere?

Are they not available?

I don't want to re-invent the wheel especially when this implementation seems so elegant.

Hi, @jamesrusso

Currently, ASK SDK is not compatible with smart home skill. You are right. ASK SDK is only compatible with custom skills now.

The smart home skill has a big difference to handle the request from Alexa Device. (except top frame)

There is the unofficial and conceptual library for Alexa Smart Home Skill. https://github.com/secual/alexa-smart-home-controller for your reference.

Thank you for the link to https://github.com/secual/alexa-smart-home-controller. I'll check it out. I just felt like I was re-inventing the wheel crafting responses, had no typings, etc.
