Hi , i am new on here ,:-) Has anyone tried using an automation program
called Vox Commando with a Squeeze device ?
There are some good videos showing it working on You Tube
I know it works on Kodi and was wondering if Kodi plus XSqueeze would
work ,
Vox Commando can also do full home
Would like to see it as a native Alexa "skill" as well. Definitely
could do some cool things with IFTTT, probably similar to what this guy
did by hooking up Squeezebox as a "device" in his Vera:

Simple tasks like changing volume are much easier done by a physical

I've tried various voice command systems in the past and found them
