Hi, there is a new Alexa Module

[BD0G]

Thanks! It would be helpful to understand what commands can be issued using voice to Amazon Echo devices / Alexa and what they do.

For instance if I say Alexa Turn off page one. Is that valid and what should I expect as a result?
If I say Alexa Show Notification 1 does that do anything and if so -what?

The instructions dont really go into usage examples (if you know what I mean?)

Send tonight? Where are you located? Its 9:49 PM here presently LOL!

@Stoffbeuteluwe Thanks! The modules would be extremely helpful!

@Stoffbeuteluwe Really appreciate the post! Everything appears to be working properly, but Alexa still does not detect my mirror. I have the 1st Gen Alexa, so its possible that is my issue. Thanks for all your help!

[techcoderun]

@Stoffbeuteluwe UPDATE: I purchased a new Alexa (Echo Dot) and I got everything working properly. Thanks again!

[BD0G]

@Stoffbeuteluwe Thanks for posting your config settings! Everytime I enable the AlexaControl Module My DarkSkyWeather Forecase, Lunartic, and US Holidays dont load. They just indicate “Loading”. When I pull the AlexaControl section out of the config.js they load without issue.

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@techcoderun perfect :slightly_smiling_face:

@BD0G open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, select the console tab, and see if there are any errors

[BD0G]

@sdetweil Still have not been able to open the Dev Console using Ctrl- Shift -i. :(

@techcoderun you just bought a new Dot and the mirror was detected?

[techcoderun]

@Fozi Yes, literally just the new dot. But I had literally had the first Alexa that came out a few years ago, so it might of had some issues.

[Fozi]

@techcoderun That’s interesting. I am somewhat buffeled because even with the a the mirror isn’t detected.

[techcoderun]

@Fozi Agreed, no clue what fixed the problem. I tried @Stoffbeuteluwe’s config file with the old Alexa, no luck. I received my Dot a few hours later, plugged it in, and voilà, “I’ve discovered 18 new devices.” My guess is maybe some outdated WiFi related hardware on the 1st Gen Alexa?

[Fozi]

@techcoderun As the cyberweek on Amazon comes closer and I need another Dot anyways, I‘m curious if I’ lol succeed, too.

[Fozi]

@techcoderun
Suddenly my MM got detected on with my old Echo Dot Gen. 1 and without the installation of the other modules. I can‘t say why. Alexas feedback after scanning for new devices was misleading, too. She answers that no new devices were detected, but I found four new devices in the device list. Anyways, it seems to work and now I‘m thinking about a fitting use case for my needs.

[BD0G]

Hmm, Perhaps I need to revisit this module?

[techcoderun]

Now that everything is working, here is a video of this module in ACTION!

@techcoderun Thanks for the video, well done!
