VoiceMonkey is the best thing I’ve ever found after Apilio 
@robin, I don’t understand this: “the Alexa device you have chosen will, unfortunately, speak to you to tell you that it has implemented the command.” My Alexa devices say nothing when a monkey is executed.
I am using VoiceMoney for a few use cases:
- Say a phrase through a specific Alexa device (btw you can customise the phrase in the URL itself so you just need one monkey for each Alexa device, e.g. https://api.voicemonkey.io/trigger?access_token=xxxxx&secret_token=xxxxx&monkey=monkey-alexa-kitchen&announcement=Hello%20world).
I use this whenever my motion detector inside the physical mailbox detects motion (“a letter has arrived!”), when the garage door is still open at 10 pm (“it is too late and the garage door is still open”), when someone rings my smart bell so I don’t miss it (“ding dong someone’s at the door!”), etc. - Turn on my Roborock robotic vacuum cleaner (it has integration with Alexa) when I leave home.
- Lock my Yale Linus Smart Lock automatically when I leave home
@pebneter I found Mkzense more limited when I tried it… can you make Alexa say a specific phrase too? And if so, can you customise the phrase in the webhook itself?
