@IKROWNI -- out of curiosity, have you ever used IFTTT's Amazon Alexa service?

I'm just curious what it actually accomplishes. The feature is only available in the U.S., so I can't read the documentation for it.
I know this was directed to IKROWNI, but I have used the Alexa IFTTT. It definitely has some limitations. From what I have seen it only works one way. You tell Alexa the "IF" part and choose a service to "Then that". For example I have 2 applets that work together, one raises my phone's volume to 100% the other has IFTTT call my phone. So I say "Alexa, Trigger find my phone" She sends the command to IFTTT it raises the volume and calls me.
You can also have Alexa send a file to dropbox and then have VC watch that folder to issue a command for you. But I find these type of commands a bit on the slow side.
The Alexa phrase command is probably the most useful, there are others like if an item is added to my Alexa to do list, or an item is added or removed from my shopping cart, but I think they aren't as useful.
Unfortunately Alexa has no way to accept commands from other services. So you couldn't send Alexa an sms to turn off the lights or play song/movie x. However I found a workaround using Roger from the phone to send commands to Alexa, but this is not using IFTTT. Hope that helps give you an idea of some of Alexa and IFTTT's capabilities.
