How to send a notification

sdetweil · Nov 24, 2021, 10:33 PM

@alyx no after u get a static IP, and your mm config.js has

address:"0.0.0.0",
ipWhitelist:[],

to allow incoming connections from outside the pi machine

it should work

@sdetweil I did that but still isnt working

sdetweil · Nov 25, 2021, 2:12 AM

@alyx sorry, don’t know how u to debug this. it’s really hard

you config works perfectly here
your devices are found (that means the module is running) and the ssdp discovery worked

now alexa will call back at the server (MM system) ip address and port for each switch
which goes into the node_helper and is then sent up to the modulename.js to send to other modules

@sdetweil hmmmm would you think it has something to do with my static IP?

I did the whole thing via my interfaces file and then reserved an IP in my router for it also.

Edit: I did the static in in the DHCP file. Interfaces is just to activate my USB network adapter (PI OS on desktop)

@sdetweil ok so I removed my static IP and the Alexa features are working again well some…

Also rebooted there with no luck and deleted the devices and repaired… The monitor on/off is working but the selfie shoot isnt. I checked the dev panel and the notification isnt being received and alexa is saying its not responsive?

sdetweil · Nov 25, 2021, 9:46 PM

@alyx if it’s not responsive, that means the little web server Alexa is calling didn’t work

that is the port you set in the notification definition

when you start mm, there are messages that say which ports are listening

that is the info Alexa records on Alexa discover devices

@sdetweil yes makes sense and no I cant see any indication of a port opening up for any devices even.
