I'm not sure how you would make a single microphone work with both alexa and voice commands at once. Yes, I realise this is a very convoluted way (I quite literally tried it out by sticking the gpio output from one into the button input on the other) but its a nice experiment and its good to know it can be done.\r\nI realise this is absolutely not a solution for everybody (if anyone) but if your really eager to yell \"Alexa order me a domino's\" when meters away from the button, can't be asked to get up, and you just don't have the cash to buy a talking pringles tube then this could the be (temporary) solution for you!\r\n"}}
