Feature Request: Multiple choice #24

Closed Shogun1978 closed 7 years ago

It would be nice to give not just on and off commands but also concrete requests. I use the node-red to control my tv and Yamaha AVR. I would be cool to e.g. choose the input like "Alexa, switch Yamaha to net radio". In best case choose the station.

Smart home skills can only implement commands in for the list here:

There is a new set of commands recently released that I will look at when I get time that include some support for AV equipment: https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/building-smart-home-skills-for-entertainment-devices

A request to support this has already been raised in #23
