Python Package for controlling Alexa devices (echo dot, etc) programmatically. This was originally designed for [alexa_media_player](https://github.com/custom-components/alexa_media_player) a custom_component for [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/).
**NOTE:** Alexa has no official API; therefore, this library may stop
working at any time without warning.
