Release Candidate and Support: Amazon Echo Control Binding

[michi (Michael Geramb)]

@m4rk

I am not sure if its an Echo limitation or the binding I am using. For shutter control it seems I have only two options, either 0% or 100%. Stop, open, close , up, down do not work. Where is the limitation? I am using the BTicino BUS binding by Massimo.

Hi Mark,
I think this is the wrong thread for your question. I assume your question is about alexa skill or a other binding, but it seems not related to the amazon echo control binding.
Kind regards, Michael

@danielwalters86

Is it technically possible to use the API using a user created application token instead of username/password?

I know that there is somewhere a description on the amazon page how you can enter such a token in apps which does not support 2 factor authentication. But I think it will not work for the session renew required after some days.

@sihui

but a click on “Amazon Account” does not load any page … same for

/amazonechocontrol/ and /amazonechocontrol/account

openHAB snapshot 2.4 #1292

Maybe it does not work with 2.4. I am currently very busy, so I can not test it in the moment.

[michi (Michael Geramb)]

What are the next steps

Currently I’am very busy (there are a lot of weddings and other work), so I have no time for OpenHAB.
This also means, that I will not give many support in this thread in the next time. Sorry!

But the good news, I will continue the development in autumn. The plan is to implement a MQTT connection to the amazon server to get live update for state changes from the echo devices. This would remove the polling I will be able to provide a new channel which gives feedback for the last spoken command to the echo device.

Best Regards,
Michael

@michi

Maybe it does not work with 2.4.

Never mind, a server restart fixed it …

[m4rk (Mark)]

Hi Michi, You are quite correct. Sorry. I think I confused myself and need to slow down

[m4rk (Mark)]

Same here. v2.3 Log shows:

Important message! To better protect your account, please re-enter your password, then enter the characters shown in the picture below.

Had to manually login and was then asked for captcha which took many attempts before successful login. Now back online.

@michi

OpenHAB 2.3 Users:
The binding is now included in the official distribution . Before you upgrade to the latest version read this post .

Does this mean, this binding works only with oh2.3 stable or with snapshot as well?
Does it work with 2.4-snapshot as well?

Thank you and kind regards,
Michael

@staehler67

Does it work with 2.4-snapshot as well?

Yes. I’m using it with 2.4 snapshot build 1292:

[staehler67 (Michael)]

@sihui

It seems Amazon is asking for something like a captcha, but where to call that captcha page?

I’m struggling with getting my binding online at the moment, but I fear I’m going to have the next problems with this captcha as well. As my openhab runs on a headless server I’m not able to login at amazon site with a browser.
Do you run also on a server without browser and if so, how did you get it working?

[sihui]

@staehler67

As my openhab runs on a headless server I’m not able to login at amazon site with a browser.

You don’t have to: just call the url from your network:
http://<youropenhab:yourport>/amazonechocontrol/

@staehler67

Do you run also on a server without browser

Yes.

@staehler67

how did you get it working?

Thank you very much, the binding is online and successfully logged in

BTW: I’ve installed the binding via paperUI and this worked

I’m still getting this on OH 2.4 build 1295…

I’ve got my echo devices configured, and everything was working.

Now the log is showing errors repeating just about every minute.

here is a sample

Anyone else seeing this issue?

I’m able to login to alexa.amazon.com (with a different browser) and don’t see a captcha. I’m not able to attempt the login through my openhab system though.

thanks

no - you are not alone. I have the same.
There is a bug in openHAB 2.3 in Windows too. OpenHAB creates filenames for the echo-binding with colons ( which are forbidden in Windows. i dont know if These two effects are linked……the developer of the binding doesnt give a Statement to this behaviour….

Release Candidate and Support: Amazon Echo Control Binding

What are the next steps Currently I’am very busy (there are a lot of weddings and other work), so I have no time for OpenHAB. This also means, that I will not give many support in this thread in the next time. Sorry! But the good news, I will continue the development in autumn.

The plan is to implement a MQTT connection to the amazon server to get live update for state changes from the echo devices. This would remove the polling I will be able to provide a new channel which gives feedback for the last spoken command to the echo device.

I don’t understand this - does Amazon already offer an MQTT broker which you can consume information about Alexa?

Thank you for confirming that it is not just my setup getting this error!

This one should be fixed soon. I don’t expect these are related issues though, since I am using Fedora.

I was wondering if there could be any correlation with the account being in a Household, but I get the same error with an account that is not in one. The only thing I haven’t tried yet is to add a desktop manager and install a browser on the server running OH to see if that helps. But if others are working headless, then I don’t think this will help.

[RalphSester]

thank you for this Information.
