Code

Lambda function (index.js)

JavaScript
This code is fired when Alexa Service request. The code process the incoming data (intent), get command (on/off), send the commands to PHPoC via HTTP protocol, and the send response to Alexa Service. Note that you have to put IP address or domainame of your PHPoC board. In case you use the private IP address, you need to set port forwarding on your router or access point.

PHPoC code (index.php)

PHP
This source code is running on PHPoC to handle request from Lambda function. It will turn on/off the light bulb according to state value included in HTTP request.
<?php

include_once "/lib/sd_spc.php";

$state  = _GET("state");
//spc_reset();
spc_sync_baud(115200);
if($state == "on")
	spc_request(14, 4, "set 0 output high");
else
	spc_request(14, 4, "set 0 output low");
echo $state;

?>
