Make alexa say something from a Lambda function

I am using https://github.com/hortinstein/node-dash-button to record some activity in my home. For example, I want to record time I go to bed every day. I am running node-dash-button application in my home network on a raspberry pi. When dash button is pressed I am making an entry in DynamoDB.

Now the problem is, there is no feedback when entry is made in DynamoDB. I have an Amazon Echo Dot. Is it possible that I trigger a Lambda function based on the entry I make in DynamoDB which eventually send a voice command to my Echo dot. For example: Entry of time 2200 Hours recorded. What I am looking for is a particular feature which I can use and develop on, any pointers or names will be helpful.

-- Thanks

Solution

  • As if now Alexa doesn't support Push Notification which is what needed in this case. Without waking up alexa, it is not possible to get any acknowledgement.
