@Canterrain said in MMM-awesome-alexa:

Trying to finish setup of the module.

I’m in the helper config, and when I get to the point of supplying a return URL I enter:
https://localhost:3000/authresponse
But terminal tells me that’s an invalid URL.

I’ve put https://localhost:3000/authresponse as my return URL and https://localhost:3000/ as my authorized URL on the Amazon developer site. What I am I doing wrong here?

Bump on this question, still can’t get past the local url section. Any help would be appreciated.

@Canterrain follow this guide.

It worked for me.

@sdetweil finally I could hear the sound output of Alexa in my mirror!

However for some reason it plays like if in slow motion. :persevering_face:

Oddly that’s not working for me either. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

What should I be using for the Device ID? I’ve been using the product ID, but maybe that’s wrong.

@Canterrain no that is correct. ;)

Well dang. I’m doing something wrong here. Whether I use the helper config or the tool above, I get a broken error page.

And I know an error page is expected, but it’s not a long url with a code in it.
It’s like… amazon.com/wpa

and that’s it.

Was the right choice “device with alexa built in” and “no companion app” ? I figure I must have done something wrong on the Amazon developer page, since that’s the part with no guide and it’s working for other people.

So does anyone actually have a step by step directions on how to set this up? Sorry i’m a huge noob, and I’m lost (which is probably due to the noob part). I do understand this is a difficult set up, but i’m kind of hoping there might be a detailed guide on this or even a youtube video (including how Amazon Developer should be set up).

EDIT:

I’m able to get to the auth request as most people, and I get the error: We’re sorry!
An error occurred when we tried to process your request. Rest assured, we’re already working on the problem and expect to resolve it shortly.

I understand this could either by my settings, or something on the amazon side, but has anyone gotten past this recently? Or is there another module I should be using?
