      I have made some playlists on my music server and I use an autohotkey script to run the selected playlist.

      I would like to be able to say, "Alexa play Abby Road on Music Server."

      I can say, "Alexa run Abby Road on Music Server." and it works fine.

      I also have another trigger for the default server which is used to open and close an air vent damper and I'd like to be able to say, "Alexa Air Vent open." vs "Alexa Air Vent on"

      Is there anyway to add new action words to the alexa app?

        @Richard-Binckley, for, "Alexa, Air Vent on" you're probably using the TRIGGERcmd Smart Home skill which creates a virtual on/off switch for each of your commands. That's why you say "on" or "off" instead of "open".

        I looked through the various types of Smart Home devices it could simulate, and I don't see any that would support "open" or "close".

        For reference, it's using this PowerController interface.
