Please bear with me, if this questions has already been asked somewhere. I’ve searched for a while, but did not find something.
I’ve tried to set up the Amazon Echo Control binding as described in the docs, but when doing this step
open the url YOUR_OPENHAB/amazonechocontrol in your browser (e.g. http://openhab:8080/amazonechocontrol/), click the link for your account thing and try to login
After hitting the link on that page, I get a page full of hieroglyphs, and the Thing stays offline. Here’s an excerpt to give you an idea of what I mean when I say hieroglyphs:

@H102: I’ve uninstalled it from PaperUi and dropped the jar in the openhab2-addons share, but the binding does not seem to be started. It’s not even mentioned in the log, as if it wasn’t found at all. In Karaf, it does not appear on the list. What could I be doing wrong?
I’m on openHAB 2.3.0, by the way. Should the jar your provided work on that version at all?
Not sure why it’s not showing. You shouldn’t need to restart OH but it may be worth the time to clean the cache, maybe something from the old binding is still lingering around.
sudo systemctl stop openhab2
sudo openhab-cli clean-cache
sudo systemctl start openhab2
It worked for me on OH 2.3 but I have since upgraded to 2.4.
There may be an issue with the region as I am in the U.S. ?
It works perfectly now, and it’s really amazing what can be done with this binding. I’ve just totally amazed my daughter when Alexa started talking to her.
The 2.3.0 binding obviously comes with an outdated Amazon login url. It may make sense to make the url configurable?
