Is it possible to send a visual pop-up?


#1

Does anyone know of a way in Webcore to send a pop-up display overlay to a Fire TV Stick and/or an Amazon Echo Show? I have pistons that I would like to send alert messages to these devices. I know that the Amazon Fire Stick has a notification app and in conjunction with a companion app on Android or IOS, message overlays can be sent to the TV screen. Does anyone know of a way to loop into that capability but with a Webcore piston?

I doubt it is possible on the Echo Show at this point in time… but I use Tasker to create overlays on my Android. There is also a $2 plugin for Tasker called AutoCast that can send overlays to a Chromecast (as well as other fancy tricks), but I haven’t delved into this last portion yet.
