This repository contains my Alexa custom skills. I use some of these skills to monitor and control my home automation system with voice. Skills connect to my home automation system by using RESTful API calls. Home automation skills have currently not been published 'alive' since the REST API they use is completely customized for my own home. Some of the skills are coded just for fun, quickly and buggy. You have been warned :)
