Good that you mention the Loetzimmer TTS shell script documented at https://blog.loetzimmer.de/2017/10/amazon-alexa-hort-auf-die-shell-echo.html and also https://github.com/walthowd/ha-alexa-tts which I use extensively at home for TTS. It is capable of retrieving Echo names via its --a- switch by performing a login to the user's Amazon account. The bridge could be configured to do likewise and retrieve such info for the LMS user outside the skill to configure the bridge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
