      @lucallmon Ok, I will try it tomorrow. I have already installed AlexaPi. I though it was for the MMM-alexa module though. Anyway, thanks for the input.

              I’m getting a permission denied when trying to save after making the changes in /etc/opt/AlexaPi/config.yaml
              I feel like ive fallen in a rabbit whole that may be alittle over my abilities.

                @bminer1 That’s normal, there is multiple type of user in linux with different level of permission, it’s for safety (that you or a virus doesn’t destroy your operating system). When you are connected to your regular user (pi if you are using raspbian) you have only access in writing to your home folder. However, the pi user is also a “sudo” user, which mean that you can get higher permission in exchange of providing the right password (which is your regular password in raspbian).
                To do that you write sudo your_command , for example sudo nano /etc/opt/AlexaPi/config.yaml . you’ll be ask to enter a password and then you can edit your file.
                It’s like being administrator on windows, but with a password instead of a window that ask you if you want to run as administrator
