Will this also be in the snapshots? And thank you!
From experience with zwave, this is not correct. To update the Thing definitions for unmanaged Things, temporarily remove the file and then put it back.
No
For me, it works without deleting of the thing file. Anyone else can confirm this?
My Things are all managed, but my understanding was based on this discussion, so I thought even the unmanaged Things needed to be deleted to get an updated definition.
With this version, I still get the 500 error when going to the URL and āNo session id receivedā in the log, along with some stack traces (truncated to the first line here)ā¦

Which version of java are you running? Iām wondering if the CookieManager may not be working properly in OpenJDK. Iāve tried OpenJDK 1.80_181 and Zulu build 1.8.0_163-b01 with the same results (Login failed: No session id received).
EDIT: Never mind. Iāve tried Oracle, OpenJDK and Zulu. All get the same error.
@michi First of all thank you for bringing this addon into openhab! I have been able to get it to work and can control music on my echo dot. The challenge I am having is with routines. I would like to be able to control specific routines that I have already set up in Alexa via Habpanel. I have not been able to get them to work though. Can you help to provide some example code for different routines so I can see what code I maybe missing? Currently I have the code set up like this.
`
String Echo_Living_Room_StartRoutine āTurn On Movie Modeā (Alexa_Living_Room) {channel=āamazonechocontrol:echo:account1:echodot1:startRoutineā}
`
Still getting the captcha login issue with the new beta, 500 when trying to log in. Back to 2.4 snapshot for now
its a one liner once you have your item setup which you doā¦
Hereās my morning routine rule (where āStart my Dayā is the name of the routine in the Alexa App) with a friendly good morning message before blasting into it:
rule "Morning Andrew"
when
Time cron "0 40 07 ? * MON-FRI"
then
Alexa_Living_Room_Speak.sendCommand('Good Morning Andrew')
Thread::sleep(3000)
Alexa_Living_Room_StartRoutine.sendCommand("Start my day")
end

Thank you. I got working in Habpanel! Using the following method
//Turn On Movie Mode
rule āMovie Mode Onā
when
Item movie_lights changed to ON
then
Echo_Living_Room_StartRoutine.sendCommand(āTurn On Movie Modeā)
end
//Turn Off Movie Mode
rule āMovie Mode Offā
when
Item movie_lights changed to OFF
then
Echo_Living_Room_StartRoutine.sendCommand(āTurn Off Movie Modeā)
end
I may have missed it, but I havenāt seen an explanation for the error āLogin failed: No session id receivedā. It looks like Amazon is either being picky about the user-agent string provided or the lack of javascript, but for whatever reason, a Captcha is triggered that the binding canāt respond to. There is some interesting discussion in this issue in what I believe is the GH repo of the original script. Iām surprised that this binding is working for anyone, but maybe it is regional (Iām in the US).
Iām not sure why the YOUR_OPENHAB/amazonechocontrol page returns a 500 error, but if there is always a Captcha coming up, then I do not see how this binding would ever work on my system, until some other form of authentication can be implemented. Hope this helps someone before they spend hours trying to troubleshoot why this binding isnāt working for them!
Hi Scott,
The reason for this is unknown, but no all users have this problem. I got feedback for a working installation from amazon.com too, so this is not the reason.
It happens, if the login page is requested, but no session-id cookie is set. It would be nice if a experienced user with a litte development skills would work with me to find out the problem.
The captcha is not shown all the time, from the feedback I got, I seems that 10-20% of the get the captcha for the first login. After entering the captcha one time, the following login works without captcha, at least for the most users. It seems that amazon stores some information to detect that the same client makes the request.

Michael
Is there a way to stop playing music after a period of time? I have the routine below, but I donāt know which command to use to stop the music.
rule "Play a playlist on Pandora"
when
Time cron "0 58 10 ? * *"
then
sendCommand(Office_Echo_Provider, 'PANDORA')
sendCommand(Office_Echo_PlayMusic, 'Sleep Radio')
pushover("Playing Radio")
radio_timer = createTimer(now.plusMinutes(30)) [|
sendCommand(Office_Echo_PlayMusic,STOP)
radio_timer = null
]
end
Yes, please use the player channel for the stop command
rule "Play a playlist on Pandora"
when
Time cron "0 58 10 ? * *"
then
sendCommand(Office_Echo_Provider, 'PANDORA')
sendCommand(Office_Echo_PlayMusic, 'Sleep Radio')
pushover("Playing Radio")
radio_timer = createTimer(now.plusMinutes(30)) [|
sendCommand(Office_Echo_Player,STOP)
radio_timer = null
]
end
Not tested, but should work.

Michael
Items file:
Player Office_Echo_Player "Player" {channel="amazonechocontrol:echoshow:<my redacted ID>:player"}
Iāve tried without any success.
sendCommand(Office_Echo_Player,'Stop')
sendCommand(Office_Echo_Player,STOP)
sendCommand(Office_Echo_Player, STOP)
Hi, sorry, there exist no STOP command. The player have a PAUSE command. OFF should work too (But makes no difference to alexa, both sent the same command).
sendCommand(Office_Echo_Player,PAUSE)

That worked! Thank you!! I LOVE your binding!!
Iām having trouble with the bata version above. I use 2 factor authentication. After Iāve logged in using the captcha I get the following:
HTTP ERROR 404
Problem accessing /amazonechocontrol/account1/ap/signin. Reason:
Not Found
Amazon does still send me the code to enter, but I have nowhere to put it.
This is not a problem with the previous release.
Is it possible to increase the alarm sound volume?
amazonechocontrol:echo:account1:echo1:volume is for the normal sound volume, isnāt it?

Hey guys,
for whatever reason the account thing is repeatedly signing out of Amazon. I notice as I all of a sudden repeatedly receive two factor verification SMS and at the same time Alexa related things are no longer reachable via my echo spot (naturally).
Works again after signing in for a day or two, then it signs out again. Any solutions available in the mean time? For me this issue simply kills this binding, sadly. Would it be worth a try to create a dummy Amazon account and use it to log in to the binding, thus cancelling out the possibility of causing it to lose the session when one logs into the same Amazon account from a different device?
Hi, there is no solution. Obviously not everyone has this issue. For me the binding is not really usable because of this issue too. I did ask for help several times in the past, but there is not a real solution. My binding is sometimes going back to online after it stayed offline for days, just because I dont care about the binding any more.
