IMPORTANT: Before you create an issue, please take a look at our Issue Reporting Guide.

Briefly summarize your issue:

I am using raspberry pi 3b. I want to control rpi pins by alexa assistant. I don't want to use IoT service, it takes more time to perform action of triggering pins. I have tried with alexa-pi, IFTTT and adafruit IoT server.
Is there any solution to get alexa speaking response in text, so I can compare text with my different triggers.

What is the expected behavior?

Is there any option to access that alexa output response in text.
I will create an alexa skill that will provide me my expected output.
I don't want to use AWS lambda with AWS IoT service, it costly after 1 year free tier.

What behavior are you observing?

I also tried with flask ask service and ngrok service. It doesn't works well. Every time when system restarts, ngrok address changes. So, every time we need to set address manually.
