Alexa, AVS, AWS, devices
- 
 @flipfloplife unfortunately amazon doesn’t want you to do what you asked for. they only allow media on commercial devices, with specific prior approval 
- 
 @flipfloplife mmotw tries to get around this by writing applets/intents, which invoke code back locally. but that is not amazon music etc. 
- 
 @sdetweil — ok, so it’s not a full “version” of alexa I’m working with then? for instance – if i tell her to set a timer or alarms (something that is actually pretty useful) she says she’s doing it – but it never “goes off”. that’s the part that’s confusing. it feels like i’m getting the voice recognition but still missing … part of alexa? 
- 
 @flipfloplife correct. in the hardware model the timer runs ON the device not in the cloud 
 except nothing implements that in the software
- 
 @flipfloplife awesome alexa implements a very old avs v1 protocol. which doesn’t support notices for timers, etc. avs v2 is very complex, but does implements notices for timers etc. no module currently implements v2
