EventGhost

Hello everybody,

Firsttime poster here! So I've been using Eventghost for a short while and I'm getting the hang of it but I cannot seem to get it right to create a skill for Alexa.
The main issue I'm having is:

Is there a way to make the skill stay connected (with a timeout) so multiple commands can be send without having to say "Alexa ask <skill name> to..." each time?
I'm using this to mimic my SageTV remote so navigation becomes a real pain (ie: up up right enter).

Great skill by the way!

The second thing I missed is the XmlIdLink(1857) part unfortunately I can't figure out what needs to be done to ...

Is there a way to just call the macro directly similar to a Jump via Python? You can use the Jump action from Python.

I just posted this in an other thread should work for you.
If you need a pointer to a macro just create for example a Jump action to the macro, then copy that action from ...

I'm not sure if this can be done (searched the forum but couldn't find an answer). I would like to execute an eventghost macro from a Python script. Currently I'm raising an event with python which triggers my macro.

eg.TriggerEvent("SetSageExclusive", payload=None, prefix="Call", source=eg)

I'm just getting started with EventGhost and would like to add a popup menu that lists a few applications that I can select and start. I've figured out how to create the menu, however, I would like to launch a macro for each item in my list. On the OS Menu: Show menu configuration popup I see the ...
