Triggering from a recording?
« on: March 21, 2017, 01:33:45 pm »

Is it possible to add a recording of my voice to a playlist, to trigger the next command?


I listen to a podcast while sleeping.  Recently, I've started listening to a playlist first, then, when I wake up, calling for the podcast to start.

Is there a way to automate this? I thought possibly I could add a track to the playlist to trigger the next step, but open to any suggestions!

maybe if you had a second echo or dot next to it :-)

adding the recording to the playlist didn't trigger it.  (and while I'm up for getting a dot at some point, not sure if this is the time.)

Any other ideas?  Thanks so much!
