Alexa Voice Service for Pi

[xxLulaBelle]

Hello,

I am trying to get Alexa on my Pi for some time now with no luck, probably due to the face I have no idea what I am doing. I found a video on YouTube and have been following her steps which she is getting from here https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/avs-device-sdk/raspberry-pi-script.html
Scrolling to Run and Install Script, it says after installation it should say [100%] Built Target SampleApp but it does not. I get the following, any ideas?

@xxlulabelle awesome-alexa is the only one I know that still works.they have a 14 step install process on their wiki

I copied these to a script, and it will do all the install part. u still have to the setup on the avs console, and get the refresh token.

now. u cant play music, u can’t interact with the mirror app. but u can ask questions, and interaction with smarthome drvices on your Amazon account

@sdetweil Thank you very much, I will give this a try tomorrow. Is it worth doing it do you think?

[sdetweil]

@xxlulabelle depends on what you want/need

there will be errors, ignore them. the last command being successful is all that matters

@xxlulabelle Grand, thank you

@xxlulabelle When I go through the MMM-awesome-alexa module, I can get to the part where I put in the Amazon Voice Service ID and secret but when it asks me for the Allowed Return URL I input http://192.168.0.108:5050/code, I can’t remember where I got this from, think it was a YT video months ago, when I go to open up the link they give to get the authentication code I get an error page. Any ideas?

[sdetweil]

@xxlulabelle should have used localhost:5050

the system needs to get to a machine…

[xxLulaBelle]

@sdetweil I put this in http://localhost:5050/code and it says Invalid, please enter your redirect URI?

[sdetweil]

@xxlulabelle weird, i use this

http://localhost:5500/alexa_auth
