Investigate if it's possible to control and monitor Alexa-connected smart home devices from the alexa-remote2 package. If so, this plug-in could be significantly more useful.

Even if it's possible to send commands via alexa-remote2 to control smart home devices, it doesn't look like the existing event stream allows monitoring them, which would be another requirement.

I'm not married to using alexa-remote2 as the underlying service integration for this plug-in. The Alexa app is able to monitor changes to smart home devices in real-time, so there is a mechanism, it just needs to be reverse-engineered.
