![]() To do this I created a simulated switch in SmartThings (the mechanism for passing the activity off from Alexa to SmartThings), a routine in Alexa (that acts on that switch when said routine is triggered by voice command of ‘Thank you’), and a piston in webCoRE (that monitors that switch in SmartThings, and fires off an Echo Speaks command to the Alexa-enabled device of my liking to say, ‘You’re welcome’ in a British voice Emma, in this case). So, naturally, I set out to create an automation for my ‘Thank you’ → ‘You’re welcome’ exchange in Alexa. I recently discovered that I could programmatically cause Alexa to say things with other accents through using Echo Speaks and webCoRE. ![]() So, that was really cool, and it satisfied me for a while, but then… So, I set out to see if I could change that behavior.Īt some point, I discovered ‘Blueprints’, and ‘My Questions’, and was able to use that to get Alexa to just say ‘You’re welcome’ as its only response to me saying, ‘Thank you’. However, the fact that it comes back with things like, “No problem”, “Anytime”, and “You bet!” is annoying to me, personally. If it responded with ‘You’re welcome’ all the time, this admittedly quirky project I’m working on now probably wouldn’t have ever come up. ![]() I don’t like the fact that Alexa is not consistent in how it responds to me saying ‘Thank you’. I know this is the SmartThings forum, and NOT the Amazon Alexa forum, but I’m posting in here, because I know a lot of you here in this Community use Alexa in ways that a lot of ‘regular’ Alexa users might not ever get around to. ![]()
