Hi! I’d like to make the find my phone function of the iCloud binding available via Amazon Alexa. The Alexa skill supports mobile phones, but only for PowerState, BatteryLevel and NetworkAccess. So, I was thinking of creating a scene that triggers the find-my-phone function. Or are there any better ideas out there?
Isn’t PowerState enough let Alexa turn on the findMyPhone trigger switch to trigger the icloud binding function ?
Yes, you are right, not much other use for that property anyway. It works perfectly fine that way, but I was hoping for a more natural language. Something like “Alexa, find Robert’s iPhone” instead of “Alexa, turn on Robert’s iPhone”. But that is a minor detail, happy that it works as it is.
Define that phrase in the Alexa app as a routine and let it turn on the switch for you.
Thanks, I was not aware of that „phrase“ feature, I‘ll give it a try!
