Hi, before I kick off to start playing… I go to https://github.com/dbochicchio/vera/tree/master/VeraAlexa and I find to install some files in the text, but they do not seem to match with the files in the repo, should I install these in vera:
without the readme.md?
Is the text outdated in guthub? Or am I missing things?
Exaclty. Upload all the files, and then create a new device under Vera. I will update the instruction for more clarity. Readme and png are not needed at the moment.
(i used altui to test): luup.call_action(“urn:dlna-org:serviceId:DLNAMediaController1”, “Say”, {Text=“Hello from Vera Alexa”, Volume=50, GroupZones=“Living”, Repeat = 3}, 1296) (where the alexa created device ID is 1296.
I executed the code (in altui) and she spoke!!! 3 times
YAY!
However, there is “some” delay like about 10 seconds
New version is online. First message should be spoken immediately know. There’s also support for routines, under openluup only at the moment. This is still beta software, so YMMV.
I also tried manually creating my .alexa.cookie using the Firefox cookies.txt add-on as previously described and copying the file in to the /storage/alexa folder, but again made no difference, the Echo Dot never speaks the TTS message.
