Hi, there is a new Alexa Module

techcoderun

@Stoffbeuteluwe I’ll take a look, thanks!

@BD0G tonight I will send you my config for the other modules…pages and page indicator

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 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.

@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 My guess is maybe some outdated WiFi related hardware on the 1st Gen Alexa?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?
