@pipifatz which alexa… Only one I know that works is AwesomeAlexa

they have a 14 step install process, I made a script out of it
use this link to download
https://www.dropbox.com/s/omrx3vztjp738hf/do-install.sh?dl=0

make executable

does the entire process, git clone on …
ignore the errors… last step is the only important one

I didn’t write the the steps, I just made the script from the steps in
https://awesome-alexa.js.org/#/installation

I just installed AlexaControl using an Echo Dot 4 with no problems.

Hope it can work the same for you.

Cheers

@sdetweil I’m trying to install AwesomeAlexa but the

npm install --only=prod

command is giving me an error about ‘snowboy’ . It looks like there is not a file at https://snowboy-release-node.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/snowboy/v1.3.1/Release/snowboy-v1.3.1-node-v93-darwin-x64.tar.gz

Did you face a similar problem?
Thanks
