Does anyone know of a way to use a Firestick + Kodi to basically play a video?

What I'm trying to do is set up an IOT alarm that would turn on my projector and play a video on the wall.

In theory, it would like this:

• Alarm off Google Home/Play/phone would trigger my IOT to turn on the projector + firestick (this is the easy part)
  
• Kodi is launched with some sort of command to play a specific playlist or video (not sure how to do this part)
  

Just wondering if anyone's done this or seen something similar with Kodi?

Kodi is launched with some sort of command to play a specific playlist or video (not sure how to do this part)

If the system is able to trigger a curl-command, you can do nearly anything with Kodi via JSON. Even playing a video or a playlist. Just just have to be sure that the curl-command is only triggered after Kodi and the projector is up and running. The curl-command produces an exit-code. So you could probably do that by putting it in a while-loop. Not sure how flexible your home-automation system is in that case. 

Just have a look here:
