Release Candidate and Support: Amazon Echo Control Binding

[michi (Michael Geramb)]

@3DJupp

Is it possible to use the Binding in order to control an alexa skill?
Alexa, tell abc to do xyz would raise the corresponding event within a skill.

No, there exist currently no API for this.

[michi (Michael Geramb)]

@borcon

In version 2.3 the binding works without any issues.
Maybe something was changed in the core of openhab.

Of course, this could happen if something was changed in the core. In some cases a recompile against the new core source solves the problem. If I create a PR for the next changes, I can provide a version compatible with the lastest beta, but I do not know when I can finish my work for this.

@jwiseman

Yup, I believe there has been a change in their hardware definition with in their API for the Echo Dot’s due to the new ones that came out. I have 10 of them and all of them have stopped working a few months back; my 2 Echo’s still work fine though.

I have not checked it yet, but of course this could happen.

@Saracen

Which Echo control binding version works with this, with the old Echo Dot?

Every version should work with them. But maybe amazon have changed something. I will check this with my next beta.

@ibot1989

Now i can re-register via the specified URL and it will be back for some time.

I have a good and a bad news for you. My next beta version will fix this issues. The bad news is, that it I do not know when I can provide it because I have a lot of open work for this.

[michi (Michael Geramb)]

Hello All,

I have very good news for all with login problems. I found now a new login-method which is working in a prototype. With this method, the binding will be registered as Mobile-App and this provides the possibility to renewal the session without a new login. The advantage will be:

• The binding must not store and use your amazon credentials in the OH configuration. No more password storing in plain text, yeah!!!
• 2 factor authentication can be supported
• No more login problems for the renewal of the session
• Not sure yet, but maybe you see the Online/Offline state of the binding in the Alexa-App

The bad news is, the method is currently implemented in a prototype and it is a lot of work to implement this in the binding. This is the reason, why I have no timeframe for the next beta version.

Another feature which I have planned for the binding is a new channel where you can control the volume of TTS messages form OH independently of of the standard volume.

Best regards,
Michael

@switch

The Amazon Echo Control Binding becomes not installed every time I restart the openhab service or restart my Raspberry pi. When I reinstall it works right away, It used to work fine. How can I keep this binding installed?

Did you possibly manually edit the bindings in addons.cfg? If so, you will need to add this binding too. I don’t have it installed anymore due to login issues, so I don’t know what name it would be. Probably amazonechocontrol.

[volfan6415 (Zachary Christiansen)]

This is awesome news! Keep up the good work. Can’t wait until this is implemented in a binding that can be tested.

It takes as long as it takes, everyone has other tasks

@michi Can you please take a look at this post?

Alexa discover device issues due to Amazon Echo Control Binding items file

[dastrix80 (Kris K)]

Hi All

Just installed this binding.

I get a tonne of error information in the log when OH2 starts up (and when I created all the items)

Any thoughts?

[H102 (CM6.5 H102)]

I had the same errors when installing, I can’t recall every change but I started by commenting out everything and working from there.

[dastrix80 (Kris K)]

Thank you!

@H102

Post above indicates that build #1390 is working. What build are you on? Maybe you can try the latest snapshot jar, updated Oct 15 here https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB2-Bundles/lastSuccessfulBuild/org.openhab.binding$org.openhab.binding.amazonechocontrol/ or move to the latest build.

I got my devices to go online at last.

Build 1390 (as you stated).

Using the jar file quoted above above wouldn’t even allow me to log into Amazon (login fail screen) so I went back to Beta 2.4 (3) Version and it allowed me to log in and my devides went online - although I had tried this before a few times.

So, it works but I’m none-the-wiser.

@michi This sounds like amazing news! I can’t get over the password storing in plain text.

Quick question: Is it possible to trigger an Alexa Routine with an OpenHAB thing/device? Although I’m able to control things/devices through Alexa, these devices do not show-up as available triggers within Alexa’s Routine functionality. Do these type of devices require a special Amazon api/certification?

[Saracen (Tom)]

There’s a Start a routine channel for an Echo.

Details in the first post in this thread (although it states Switch there, it’s actually triggered by a string).

[EDIT]
Ah, minutes later the lastVoiceCommand changed to the old spoken commands, I think that is not normal, I will give it a try tomorrow again.
[/EDIT]

Hi,

I want to use the new lastVoiceCommand feature, their for I build a small demo, just to see what is in the string, see below.

The light is turned on, but the error Log I used for debugging shows that the string is empty.
Sending a command to the same channel, e.g. “Test” is spoken by Alexa, so configuration seem to be fine.
The next “Light on” call shows “Test” for lastVoiceCommand in the logs also.

So I think I’m getting something wrong here, can someone explain or give an example how it is meant to be used? I thought I can check which echo had the last “Light on” call or something like that, but the String/Item is always empty until I send a command to it.

Thanks for any help.
Greets Udo

rule "Light on"
when
    Item Voice_Switch_Ambient received command ON
then
    Light_Xiaomi_Bulb_V2_1_Command.send(new StringType("set_scene[\"ct\", 2800, 100]"))

    logError("Amazon Alex said >", Speaker_Amazon_Echo_Show_Last_Voice_Command.state.toString)
end

String Speaker_Amazon_Echo_Show_Last_Voice_Command           "Last voice command"        {channel="amazonechocontrol:echoshow:account1:echoshow1:lastVoiceCommand"}
