pylcn

a python project for communication between alexa and LCN-PCHK. The Amazon Echo is able to control certain types of home automation devices by voice. the package Fauxmo provides emulated Belkin Wemo devices that the Echo can turn on and off by voice, locally, and with minimal lag time. Currently these Fauxmo devices can be configured to make requests to an HTTP server or to a Home Assistant instance via its Python API and only require a JSON config file(lcn_device.json) for setup.

2. adjust the configuration in lcn_device.json, etc. seg_id, mod_id, control_type... currently only support control type like R8H and DIMOutput, you could self add the implementations in lcn_plugin.py.
