Hi,
I have a few questions (to anyone) before I try to set this skill up.
1) I have tried the other Alexa/Kodi skill, and whilst it works well enough, I found that generally it was just quicker/simpler to pick up the remote..
How is the response time (lag?) of this skill?
2) I'm still finding Alexa to be a bit hit and miss in terms of accuracy.
How accurate is this skill? do you find yourself repeating commands often?
3) After having installed this, do you find yourselves using it over the remote, and if so why?
BTW, this is in no way any form of trolling about this add-on - It's an awesome achievement, I just find that sometimes, the idea of something outweighs it's practicality...
I currently use Alexa and OpenHAB to control my Lights, Fans, and Aircons. This is especially useful when I'm away from home.
I haven't felt the need to add in my Tvs or Amps, or anything else for that matter.... and I'm just not sure that this would beat a remote....
Although I do like the idea of walking into a room and saying, "Kodi play BBC News", and the TV switching on to KODI playing that channel!
Thanks
