alexa-vanhack

An Alexa skill to tie into the VHS API for door and equipment status.

Currently supported:

• Alexa, ask VHS if they are open
• Alexa, ask VHS if the laser is free

Current Issues:

There is currently a bug where the skill always responds to the previous utterance, not the most recent. To reproduce:

• Utterance: Ask VHS if they are open
• Response: Sorry, I didn't understand the command.
• U: Ask VHS if they are open
• R: Yes, we are open
• U: Ask VHS if the laser is free
• R: Yes we are open
• U: Ask VHS if they are open
• R: The laser is currently off

I think there is a scope issue with the getWebRequest function returning speechText
