Need Help. New to programming.

How would I create a script to select “devices” from the amazon Alexa app using Pythonista. I’m an electronic tech that’s used to using rslogix, wonderware, archestraIDE, etc. , and now I’m trying to learn to actually code and I figured I’d start by just jumping in, watching YouTube, and asking questions on boards. Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated!!!

@devinboulin, I do not understand your use case, even if I am an occasional Alexa app user. Could you please expand a bit what you are trying to achieve?

Hello,

It sounds like using IFTTT may help you with this, possibly using webbrowser.open() to open the shortcut but I don't have any Amazon devices or app so I may be way off piste...
