Alexa Notification
« on: January 25, 2019, 04:07:15 am »
I'm banging my head how to implement my requirement using Alexa Notification.

Idea is to get the status of Continuous Build using Alexa, We are looking for push notification. If Build is failed it should play sound/alaram

But i didn't get the technical details how to implement my stuff using Alexa Notifications

Is Alexa Notifications is available to public? It is still in beta?

Please help me

The easiest way to do this may be to use the Notify Me skill (just search for it in the Alexa app). This skill has a RESTful API which you can post notifications to (as JSON) which it then sends to your devices. You need to link the skill to your Amazon account and it then gives you an access token which you pass when you call the API.
There is a limit of 5 notifications in a 5 minute period, which is a limit imposed by Amazon.
I am currently using this for notifications from Home Assistant.
The only drawback is that all your notifications will come as  "from Notify Me".
