Amazon Echo SmartJ Binding Last Voice Command not working anymore

This should help you get what you need. I plan to publish my entire “temp” working rule soon on this.

var String alexa_LastVoiceCommandString = sendHttpGetRequest("http://192.168.0.32:8080/amazonechocontrol/account1/PROXY/api/activities?startTime=&size=1&offset=1")
var serialNumber_alexa_LastVoiceCommand = transform("JSONPATH","$.activities[0]sourceDeviceIds[0]serialNumber",alexa_LastVoiceCommandString)
var PreLastVoiceCommand 				= transform("JSONPATH","$.activities[0].description",alexa_LastVoiceCommandString)	
var LastVoiceCommand 					= transform("JSONPATH","$.summary",PreLastVoiceCommand)

// eliminate trigger keywords
LastVoiceCommand = (LastVoiceCommand.toLowerCase()).replaceAll('alexa ','')
LastVoiceCommand = (LastVoiceCommand.toLowerCase()).replaceAll('echo ','')
LastVoiceCommand = (LastVoiceCommand.toLowerCase()).replaceAll('amazon ','')

// logInfo("ECHO","-----------------------------------------------------------------------------")
// logInfo("ECHO","Last Voice Command Serial Number is " + serialNumber_alexa_LastVoiceCommand)
// logInfo("ECHO","Last Voice Command Description is " + PreLastVoiceCommand)

SCRIPT UPDATED as of 10.25.23

Here’s my “temp” solution until @J-N-K has time to focus on it. This is based on file configuration of OH 3.4.4. Goal was to try to keep everything the same as it was still working before and just populate fields needed.

Some caveats to this setup:

• it runs every 2 minutes, there can only be 1 OH command issued that your looking for within in a 2 minute window for it to work.
• this will work across many Alexa devices based on serial number identifying.
• if your Alexa routine is saying something back for that OH command like “sure”, “ok”, etc. then the lastCommand is cleared out from the API side. Better off not saying anything back on the Alexa routine app side, do nothing.
• if you have other rules using the Alexa items, there could be an issue with “too many attempts” with the 2 minute API query and your other rules calling Alexa items within X seconds.

Items:

Group  AlexaCmds							"Last Voice Command [%s]"

String Echo_LivingRoom_LastVoiceCommand    	"Last Voice Command [%s]"           <recorder>	(AlexaCmds)				{ channel="amazonechocontrol:echo:account1:echolivingroom:lastVoiceCommand" }
String Echo_Bathroom_LastVoiceCommand       "Last Voice Command [%s]"           <recorder>  (AlexaCmds)				{ channel="amazonechocontrol:echo:account1:echobathroom:lastVoiceCommand" }

Rules:

rule "Alexa Last Voice Command Assignment"

I also have a workaround in production using the tips in the above posts. I have set it up to poll every 2 seconds, and this makes the response times as fast as it was before. I am not sure if there is a reason to increase it, the URL I am polling is local, but perhaps the binding is forwarding it outwards?

My code is public, but possibly not very deployable for others, I have my own habapp-like solution with async python code doing things like this: https://github.com/berland/pyrotun/blob/master/pyrotun/pyrotunservice.py#L64-L113

[jwiseman (Mr. Wiseman (OH 4.2 Snapshot on Pi4))]

@berland

I have set it up to poll every 2 seconds

You may want to log all the API results at 2 second interval to see what they are. In the US, if I did that it would come back a lot of the times “too many requests” error.

Maybe that’s not the case where you’re at?

Best, Jay

[Larsen (Locke)]

@berland , @Jagohu : Why do you prefer to poll continuously instead of one trigger item that is switched by Alexa? Polling causes constant traffic and even with 2 seconds you get quite different delays of openhab reactions.
I don’t see any disadvantage in using a connecting item that triggers the rule.

[J-N-K (Jan N. Klug)]

Just to give you a heads-up: I have made progress on this issue in the last days. There was quite some refactoring to do before it was possible to add the HTTP/2 connection, but that is what I’m currently working on.

[Jagohu (Jago)]

To me it didn’t seem like Alexa would switch anything anymore. The LastVoiceCommand was just not updated at all without the bash script polling the Echo. I must have missed something if it works for everyone else - I didn’t get it what should trigger the update of this channel if the binding doesn’t work properly.

[Larsen (Locke)]

@Jagohu

I must have missed something

At the moment the binding does not work but J-N-K is about to fix it
In the meantime you can use the workaround:

• create an item of type switch in OH
• add Alexa metadata of type switch
• add expire metadata (off after 1s)
• call “Alexa search new devices”
• create a routine in Alexa that is triggered by your voice command and then switches the (just found) device on
• create the rule (either in the UI with JavaScript action (see my posts) or the text-based DSL version) in OH that is triggered when the item is switched on

It’s done in 5 minutes and better than constantly polling

[J-N-K (Jan N. Klug)]

Is there someone here that uses at least latest OH 4.1 milestone? I have something to test available. Please contact me by private mail. Thanks.

[sl4m (Simon)]

I do have the same issue with the PLAYER channel, which is responding very slow…
Does anyone have the same issue here?
I am using Openhab 3.4.2 on a RPI3b+ and AmazonEchonControl binding Version 3.4.2.

Already posted the problem here, but no solution.

Openhab 3 AmazonEchoControl Slow PLAYER channel

Dear all, i am using the AmazonEchonControl binding since several years and i am very happy about it. But, since some time (cant say exactly since when) the response of the PLAYER channel is very slow (if even working). In case i turn music on a echo show device i am getting a really delayed change in the PLAYER channel (PAUSE->PLAY). Strange thing is, that other channels are super fast (for example last voice command). As a workaround i tried to use the last voice command channel to detect…

[J-N-K (Jan N. Klug)]

Can someone tell me if

			<channel id="amazonMusicTrackId" typeId="amazonMusicTrackId"/>
			<channel id="amazonMusicPlayListId" typeId="amazonMusicPlayListId"/>
			<channel id="amazonMusic" typeId="amazonMusic"/>

these channels still work? I don’t use Amazon Music, so I don’t have playlists I could try with. They have been reported to be no longer functional in the past and are marked as “for future removal”. With the big changes I have made, it would be nice to solve that, too.

[jwiseman (Mr. Wiseman (OH 4.2 Snapshot on Pi4))]

@J-N-K

<channel id="amazonMusicPlayListId" typeId="amazonMusicPlayListId"/>

Had lots of issues with this one in the past (especially for the unpaid Amazon music user), so I just started using this instead and it’s worked for the last 3 years.

[Wtfgw (Rich)]

I have added the channel and an item for each to test but do not see any results/info populated when I start playing a song from my playlist. However, I am not sure if I have something wrong with my setup. Up until yesterday the workaround for the lastvoice command not working is no longer working for me (it was working really well before).

When pasting this into a browser I used to get the info required (last voice):
http://192.168.1.10:8080/amazonechocontrol/Amazon/PROXY/api/activities?startTime=&size=1&offset=1

I now get:

HTTP ERROR 500 org.openhab.binding.amazonechocontrol.internal.HttpException: GET url ‘https://alexa.amazon.co.uk/api/activities?startTime=&size=1&offset=1’ failed: Not Found

At the moment I am not sure if Amazon implemented more restrictions or if there is an issue with my setup. Is this still working for anyone else?

[jwiseman (Mr. Wiseman (OH 4.2 Snapshot on Pi4))]

@Wtfgw

Same here.

[Try again](http://192.168.0.32:8080/amazonechocontrol/account1)

This URL still works → http://openhabian:8080/amazonechocontrol/account1

Best, Jay

[J-N-K (Jan N. Klug)]

They switched the URL to www.amazon.co.uk/alexa-privacy/apd/rvh/customer-history-records?startTime=, You might run into trouble with the proxy here, because it always uses the Alexa API host as target, not the retail website. Unfortunately there is no easy fix for the proxy, since we can’t detect what the correct host is.

When I checked some days ago, they redirected to the new URL with 302, so maybe they removed that re-direction now.

[funcat (Fabien)]

@jwiseman

Same here.

Same here also.
If anyone has a workaround for the workaround or any suggestion/idea, I can help to test.

[Dom76 (Deiber)]

Same problem here

[papaPhiL (Philipp Fink)]

nooooo, not again…
I don’t see any other possibility yet to retrieve via API what I have said to my echos. Really hoping someone figures this out.

[jwiseman (Mr. Wiseman (OH 4.2 Snapshot on Pi4))]

FYI, providers getting cut off also with last voice commands.

We’re writing to let you know that on October 31st, 2023 the Amazon Alexa service will no longer be available on IFTTT.

Amazon has made the decision to no longer support their integration on IFTTT. Like you, many of us here on the IFTTT team use the Alexa IFTTT integration daily for things ranging from controlling lights and music in our homes to integrating with task management apps to boost productivity. We were disappointed to hear about this change, we understand it is always difficult to see an existing service removed from IFTTT.

We encourage you to update your Alexa Applets to use alternative triggers prior to October 31st. You can find more information on how to update your Applets, as well as suggested alternative triggers here.

Starting November 1st, Applets that use the Say a specific phrase trigger will be migrated to instead use the IFTTT Button Widget. Applets that use any Amazon Alexa trigger other than Say a specific phrase or any Amazon Alexa query will be archived on October 31st if they are not updated to use a different trigger and/or query prior to that date.

• IFTTT Community team

[J-N-K (Jan N. Klug)]

Good evening.

Those that are on OH 4.0.x or OH 4.1.0-SNAPSHOT (latest SNAPSHOT, M2 is NOT working):

• Uninstall the old binding
• Go to the karaf console and verify with list -s | grep amazon that it is really not installed.
• Change the JSON 3rd-party marketplace URL:
  – OH4.0.x: https://download.smarthomej.org/addons.json|https://download.smarthomej.org/addons-beta.json
  – OH 4.1.0-SNAPSHOT: https://download.smarthomej.org/addons-snapshot.json|https://download.smarthomej.org/addons-beta.json
• Install “SmartHome/J Amazon Echo Control Binding (beta)”
• Go to http://<openhab>/amazonechocontrol, select your account
• On the account page, “Logout” (upper right corner), log in again
• Check if the account and all your amazonechocontrol things come online

Troubleshooting:

• If the lastVoiceCommand still does not work: use “Logout and Re-register” on the account page. Log in again
• If that still does not help, please use “Logout and Re-register”, the the binding to TRACE logging (you can do that on the bindings info page in the add-on store), log in and send the log to me.
• If you encounter messages at ERROR or WARN level, please set the binding to TRACE logging and sent a log with the five request before the error to me.

Send logs to my email address github@klug.nrw. Your amazon password is nowhere in the logs. If all works fine for you, please report in this thread. After there is a new release of the add-on, please uninstall the beta and with back to the release. I’ll remove the beta downloads then.
