Amazon Alexa integrated with Touchless automatic boat cover...why not :)

[bsnively]

Decided to link the Touchless cover I got with Alexa, kind of fun to be able to walk out of the house and tell Alexa to open the boat cover while walking down there..

Pretty easy to do, all I did was:
Get an smart RF transmitter,
Link the RF Transmitter to the Alexa smart home
learn the up,down/stop buttons...

Later,

Wow that is way cool

It can be improved, have a couple bikini clad girls posing in the boat as the cover goes up.

I have been able to do that for a few years now. I don't use Alexa though.....My version of the app also loads the cooler and puts the boards in the racks. I can even do it from my lakehouse up from the dock. All I have to do is look at my 14 and 16 year old and say is "Boys if you want to go ride, get the boat ready to go". Bet Alexa can't do that!

All kidding aside that's really cool!

That's a pretty tall order -- what about a Saint Bernard riding a phase 5 surfboard??

Hmmm. Not sure just yet
