I would love to try this as Alexa/Echo seems fairly useless to me (I recently purchased a Show and a Dot to experiment with, the latter which I really needed to connect directly to my Denon receiver, and I'm pretty nonplussed by the whole experience). I have no interest in listening to Amazon Music as it's pretty much a facsimile in many ways of Pandora which I never use. The boredom from Pandora and its inability to play crap that I like. My extensive collection is MUCH more enjoyable to listen to, and the lack of a LMS skill makes Alexa pretty dull. I have been voice-controlling my home since around 1999 with HAL Deluxe and HAL even of that era was a lot more useful to me. I could even use "Jeannie" as the action word.
Having said all of that, and I am somewhat tech and computer literate having built my own computers and set up several Rpi, I'm afraid my tech skills aren't advanced enough to competently set this up. Main reason being, I don't want to accidentally and unsecurely blow open a port on the innerwebz for every script kiddie on the planet to play with. Therefore, and until future notice, I guess I am out. Kudos however to meep and nickb for taking the plunge. Maybe someday old geezers like me can find our Alexa/Echoes useful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NFLnut's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13180 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107009 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
