Has anyone looked at this - http://bwssystems.com/#/habridge It's an
application that emulates the Philips Hue API for other home automation
devices. I'm using it to control my Vera Z-Wave HA controller and my
Harmony Hub remote with Alexa. So I can say "Alexa, turn on the
television" and it will run that activity on the Harmony, or "Alexa, dim
the reading lights to 50%" will pass that to the Vera controller. It's
been very reliable and, as it's written in Java, can run on most
platforms.

But it can also do a lot more. From the web site "the Bridge supports
custom calls as well using http/https/udp and tcp such as the
LimitlessLED/MiLight bulbs using the UDP protocol. Binary data is
supported with UDP/TCP." Perhaps this could be used to pass calls from
Alexa to LMS?

With regard to the keywork, can I suggest "squeeze". My experience with
the Echo and with creating command words with the HA Bridge app tells me
that shorter and simpler names work best. 

Looking forward to testing this!

Pat
