HomeAssistant Alexa Skill

Home Automation
1

I am currently using twingate to access my home assistant instance remotely and it works great. I am working on connecting HA to Alexa through an Alexa skill running off an AWS lambda function. In order for the lambda function to operate it needs to access my HA url.

Would it be possible to add the AWS lambda funtion to twingate as a service to connect to my home assistant resource?

My one thought has been to create a headless client in aws that the lambda function and alexa could access the home assistant resource from.

Maybe something like this

Hi Baden,

That is likely the best way to accomplish what you’re looking for. Unfortunately that particular approach isn’t something we’ve tried or tested with Lambda, but theoretically there’s no reason it shouldn’t work in more or less the same way, since you’d just be forwarding the network traffic.

Let me know if you get a chance to try it out and if it meets your use case!

Thanks,
