Amazon echo can connect via bluetooth as router with third party wearable device like a Fitbit?

I'm making wearable device like a Fitbit. I want to know if I can use Echo to connect our device via bluetooth as router.

Then, it should be allowed to send some data to our web server from Echo. (For now, it's connected with smartphone)

Is this possible for third party company?

Or it will be possible in a future?

Thanks.

Solution

  • The closest you can accomplish that is using alexa to call a lamba function that talks to your device:

    1) Alexa -> Lambda -> IoT (MQTT) -> your device via wifi

    2) Alexa -> Lambad -> IoT (MQTT) -> gateway -> your device via BT

    "gateway" would be something like a Raspberry Pi.
