Interfacing with wattbox so clients can just ask Alexa to fix their cable boxes when they need a reboot.

I use mine to turn my lights on and off, run lighting scenes, run favorites in Sonos, etc. My 5 year old son loves to do it....thus my wife hates it.

How? Simple. the macro triggers "reset outlet 4" on the wattbox. IP commands are available. I do it with Total Control .

But how do you create a macro on Alexa? macro is created on the control system. For example, C4 system, "Alexa, turn off Living Cable" Programming that voice scene just resets the outlet that the box is plugged into.

Correct, the control system does it:
Alexa, turn on Reset Apple TV
Total Control then runs a macro that resets outlet 4 on Wattbox 2.
