As the skill-author, I won't answer all your questions as I may come
across as biased. However, here are a few pointers:
- Once set up, you can totally forget about it. I use mine on a daily
basis and have not touched the setup once since September 2019.
- You can initially play with ngrok -standalone -to see how easy/hard
you think it is to set up. By standalone, I mean not in the context of
the skill, but just so you can access the LMS GUI interface from a
browser with your ngrok tunnel details. If you see the familiar GUI
when you try this, you then know you have the correct setup and can
proceed to linking the skill with the same data. It's all just about
getting a protected external web address for the LMS on your LAN. If
that works, you can first enable the sister skill LMS-lite which is
free and gives basic control of LMS. This way, you can take one step
at a time before trying the real deal.
- With two locations you would need two Amazon accounts for starters.
Alexa is linked to an Amazon account and an account is linked to a
device-cloud. That would apply to any smart home devices like Philips
Hue also. Each Amazon account would then need a separate subscription
to MediaServer.
