OK done that, I created a new group called “Lounge” and added the Fire TV and the Echo Dot in to the Lounge group.
I renamed the Echo Dot device name from “Lounge” to “Echo Dot”
I can now see a group called “Lounge” in the Alexa app and the “Echo Dot” device is in the Lounge group.
I also added one Ewelink device an oil diffuser in to my new Lounge group.
I don’t currently have Vera linked into to Alexa as Google Home is doing that job currently, so these are the only devices I have showing in the Alexa app.
Yea so you’ve got the Alexa side set up fine. Now in your config you can set your default echo to ‘Echo Dot” (it is case sensitive). So your luup code should look something like this
Version 0.2.1 is now on GitHub, properly tested and supported under Vera as well!
New in this release:
messages will be rendered immediately, if the queue is empty
routines are supported under openluup (Vera will follow soon, I need jq package that will soon be added to the official repo - testing in dev mode is working ok)
Test it and let me know. YMMV, since it’s still very hacky, vera beta.
can you please share the code used to send the message? next time, please enable DebugMode (it’s a variable) and post some logs, it’d helpful. I will debug it more later today, but it seems to work for me. So strange.
luup.call_action(“urn:dlna-org:serviceId:DLNAMediaController1”, “Say”, {Text=“This is a test”, Volume=50, GroupZones=“Office”, Repeat = 1}, 1296)
But with the “1st” code it does work with the 7-9 secs delay and the 2nd or 3rd it does no audio… replacing the files with “1st” set gives bck the audio (7-9 secs delay).
please help me how to share logs… where do I enable debug log?
Edit, here:
