Custom Widget: Amazon Echo Music Control

[clel (Claudius Ellsel)]

Since there is a binding for Amazon Echo now I thought about displaying music information on the HABPanel. I found a widget for Onkyo (Custom widgets: Onkyo Control) which I adjusted to fit the items provided by the Amazon Echo Control binding. Also added css style so the cover image gets resized with the widget.

The settings asks for the “control” channel. But there is no channel called “control”.

I assume this is related to a new binding version you are using.

@jwiseman

Are you going against the latest Amazon Echo binding or the original one frond in OH2.x?

Since the new binding is integrated in openHAB 2.4 now I should update this widget to be compatible with the new items. Will take some time, though since I have not much time currently.
