Use Firebase Auth within an Alexa Skill

Hello,

I am the CTO of thebluarmor.com and we have built the world’s first smart cooler and bearable device as an accessory for two-wheeler helmets.

BluArmor device works with the BluArmor companion app (Android and iOS) to seamlessly use voice as the primary interface for all user requests like playing music, making phone calls, controlling the cooling on the device and so on.

We use firebase as our database and mobile application backend.

Now we are trying to build an Alexa Skill that uses Firebase Auth within the Alexa Skill to Authenticate the User and then send a firebase cloud notification to the mobile device to fulfill the user request to the Alexa Skill.

However, we are struggling to figure out the exact on how to get this working effectively.

If any of you have built a similar skill could you throw some light on this problem?

thanks!

Hi! I haven’t used Firebase Auth yet, but how I understand it, it should be possible to replicate this with this tutorial:

The tutorial uses Auth0, I’m assuming it would work similarly, though.
