The full story
Hey Claude connects Alexa to Claude for commands that Alexa cannot answer. A poller checks voice history, filters failures and starts a short Claude session to interpret the request. The documented integrations can control LG webOS televisions and cast a camera feed to a TV.
The repository includes device-control code and setup instructions for Echo, LG webOS, CP Plus DVR and Jio set-top boxes. It requires an authenticated Claude CLI and devices on the same local network. Smart-light support is listed as planned, rather than available.
Device and compatibility
- Amazon Echo, LG webOS TV, CP Plus DVR, Jio set-top box
Supported devices use different control scripts and local-network protocols.
