Logging parameters with Amazon Alexa

[SteveG_inDC]

Is there any way to use Alexa voice controls to input data to aquarium logging applications? I mean, I can type them in, but I've already programmed every device in my system to be voice controllable. I'm wondering how far we can take this technology.

Me: "Alexa, log a phosphate reading at 0.10 parts per million"
Alexa: "Sure. By the way, you last changed your GFO 25 days ago"

Me: "Alexa, log a 20 gallon water change"

Me (a week later): "Alexa, when was my last water change?"
Alexa: "7 days ago you changed 20 gallons"

Me: "Alexa, when did I install my T5 bulbs?"
Alexa: "You installed the current bulbs on November 1, 2020. Order new bulbs in April and install May 1."

Go into the Help...Information screen in Fusion under the Alexa Voice Setup screen. There it lists the things you can do:

Measurement Logging​

Function	Commands
Log a Measurement	Alexa, log a test result with Apex Fusion.
Alexa, log a nitrate test with Apex Fusion.
Alexa, ask Apex Fusion to log a test.
Alexa, ask Apex Fusion to log a calcium test.
Alexa, ask Apex Fusion to log alkalinity as 8.3 dKH.
Alexa, ask Apex Fusion to log iodine as 0.2 parts per million.
Alexa, ask Apex Fusion to log a Hanna ULR test.

Supported measurement types:

• Alkalinity (dKH, ppm, meq/L)
• Calcium
• Iodine
• Magnesium
• Nitrate
• Phosphate (ppm, ppb, Hanna ULR / phosphorus)

I don’t use apex. Was thinking of the various aquarium logging apps.
