Hi Cortana, please turn on the light

[Thomas]

Hi,
I'm thinking about integration to Siri, Cortana, Alexa or Google voice assistant (don't remember how it's called). I've absolutely no idea how to do it but I think it would be great to come to my office and ask some of these systems for light up, switch coolers on etc.
I think Cortana is easiest because LM supports Azure cloud services.
Is there amybody with experience in these three technologies (Cortana, Azure, LM) who could brink an idea how to design a proper solution?

Maybe I'm completely wrong because I've never seen HomeKit nor Google Home. But I think the design of the application in the thread you linked is this:
HomeKit -> Apple servers -> HomeKit -> LM
So LM communicates to HomeKit directly.

My idea is:
Cortana on my PC or mobile phone -> Azure -> LM
In this solution LM just accepts requests from Azure cloud.
There's nothing to be developed at LM side. The only code I need and I'm absolutely not sure is possible is at Azure side.
My idea doesn't require an additional hardware because I think my mobile phone and my computer are enough.
Example: I'm driving and I want open my garage door. My phone is connected to my car radio via BT and is in the driving mode. I just say "Hi Cortana please open my garage". Cortana push the request to Azure. Azure push it to LM.
