  • It looks like @DrAzzy's hub uses the fauxmo library to fake WeMo devices. Looking at the code, it uses UDP so would be tricky to emulate on an Espruino (at the moment) - but having a Pi as a server is what I do too, and works pretty well.

    I'm not sure IFTTT is actually a Google thing? Anyway it looks like IFTTT has good support on Alexa and Assistant, and you can use the 'maker' endpoint to send an HTTP request.

    The issue is getting that in to your house - hence the tunnel. Often you IP address will change every so often (mine does), so it gets even more painful. If you have access to a server where you can put up some code to act as a relay between Alexa and your home, that'd really be the way forward...
