The Arranmore Ferry team now has Alexa integration, ask your Alexa device or phone for the latest times today!
As part of our work with the Arranmore Ferry team, we've built an Alexa Skill to make the ferry times available with just your voice. Of course, all times are in sync with the mobile app and website.
You'll need to enable the skill on your Amazon account and then you'll be able to ask Alexa for the next ferries, today's ferries and tomorrow's ferries.
Alexa, Ask Arranmore Ferry, when the next sailings are
Alexa, Ask Arranmore Ferry, what the crossings are tomorrow
Thanks to Owen Loughnane for his help with the promo video.
If you're looking to develop your own Alexa skill, I'd recommend taking a look at the NodeJS ASK (Alexa Skills Kit) SDK.
These docs were great in particular. The github repo is here.
