      I have a Raspberry Pi running Fruitbox Jukebox application. I modified the application to provide Text to Speech to announce songs before they play. Now I would like to integrate Amazon Alexa so that I can power on/off the pi (that's simple), and have my own integration to the fruitbox jukebox application. I want it to do commands like volume Up/Down, Play, Next, Pause, Stop, Play selection A1, Play random/Shuffle, Play playlist 80's music.

      There are existing skills out there like plex, mymedia, that do this stuff but it stream the music via the alexa device. I want the application to behave like a fancy remote control via voice and the music playing from the pi not alexa.

      I probably could also use the Linux Lircd remote control samples to but I am not using that to control the app.

      Any sample scripts and curl like urls for volume control, play buttons, etc that could help me on my journey ?

        @legtod2, I like the idea. Are you going to use hdmi for audio output or the headphone jack?

        My initial google research found this. It has commands for changing volume etc.

          @russ I have the pi inside a 1945 Radio Cabinet. The Audio out is via the headphone jack to an amplifier. The pi is connected to a 7" touchscreen display so the user can navigate the menu interface.

          I will set up a short youtube to provide details of the project.

            @legtod2, if you can control it with a keyboard, you might be able to use this "keyboard" python module to make commands that simulate keyboard strokes.

              @russ Very cool suggestion. Send the equivalent to pressing a local keyboard keypress.
