      @aaaaa12345, thanks. This is some fancy linux scripting! I tried it out.

      I had it tell my Alexa to tell me the weather with this command:

      ./alexa.sh -d Office -e weather
      

      Here's the help output for anyone else who's interested:

      russ@RussHP:~$ ./alexa.sh -h
      ./alexa.sh [-d <device>|ALL] -e <pause|play|next|prev|fwd|rwd|shuffle|repeat|vol:<0-100>> |
                -b [list|<"AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF">] | -q | -n | -r <"station name"|stationid> |
                -s <trackID|'Artist' 'Album'> | -t <ASIN> | -u <seedID> | -v <queueID> | -w <playlistId> |
                -a | -m <multiroom_device> [device_1 .. device_X] | -lastalexa | -l | -h
      
         -e : run command, additional SEQUENCECMDs:
              weather,traffic,flashbriefing,goodmorning,singasong,tellstory,
              speak:'<text>',sound:<soundeffect_name>,
              textcommand:'<anything you would otherwise say to Alexa>'
         -b : connect/disconnect/list bluetooth device
         -q : query queue
         -n : query notifications
         -r : play tunein radio
         -s : play library track/library album
         -t : play Prime playlist
         -u : play Prime station
         -v : play Prime historical queue
         -w : play library playlist
         -a : list available devices
         -m : delete multiroom and/or create new multiroom containing devices
         -lastalexa : print serial number that received the last voice command
         -login : Logs in, without further command
         -l : logoff
         -h : help
      

      I ran it in WSL on my Windows 11 box.

      This is the version I ran (for english, US), minus my credentials.

        JFTR...
        The above-linked "German" page contains the in-depth instruction/tutorial (shouldn't be a problem for Google-Translate/deepL), while the "English"-linked one is providing the code for download.

        Would have edited the page above but there's a "editing time restriction" of 3600s 👎 . Wouldn't it make more sense that a page can't be edited anymore once a follow-up posting/reply occured?
