[DEPRECATED] Echo Speaks

[Matthew]

@tonesto7

ADDED: Local server support (Hubitat only).

Is this for the Heroku server part? If so, anybody want to give some pointers on how to install this on a RaspberryPi?

@tonesto7

As it stands right now I’m not writing up any documentation on how to install the server local but anybody that knows how to install a node package should be a brainer.

Unfortunately ... that is not me.

Thanks.

[tonesto7]

Then I recommend you just use the Heroku server.
It's only used for 5 seconds every 5 days. The heroku server is asleep 99% of the time and your information is secure because it looses all of it's data when it's asleep

[doug]

Am I missing modification of the existing code base (which seems tuned for both hubs)? I'm receiving missing method exceptions in several places.

Horoku is setup, cookie refresh, claims to be working. I found these exceptions early on, but it's speaking now.

[tonesto7]

That’s a known bug in the platform I submitted a support request last week you can ignore it
It’s been acknowledged and just pending the fix to be deployed

Not that echo speaks devices are needed for the Hubitat cloud dashboard but they appear to fill up it's memory if selected more than a regular device like a switch (approx 4 to 1).

Dashboard: Local but no Cloud

I was getting the same thing There must be a memory limit to dashboards and echo speaks devices fill it up. I could remove 4 regular devices or one echo device created by echo speaks and the cloud dashboard worked fine again. (didn't matter which device or echo device) odd thing was I still had not deleted my old TTS echo devices (that were not longed used and moved over to echo speaks) created from amazon-alexa-text-to-speech-tts-v0-5-0 Leaving them selected or un-selected did not seem to …

of course using to many devices in the cloud dashboard without any echo speaks devices may affect the Hubitat cloud dashboard.

[tonesto7]

I honestly can't confirm this because i'm not really a "dashboard" user, but if the dashboard is populated with all of the devices attributes then I'm certain it would cause issues.

Great job on this! As a very new Hubitat user, and having installed Konnected, I was able to translate the ST instructions for installing Echo Speaks and got this up and running without issue. If you were able to install Konnected (app and device drivers), you can do this. There are a ton of options for the Echo devices and I am still digesting all that. Very easy to add announcements to existing rules in Rule Manager. I did not work much with the testing utilities which have been discussed here. I set the volume to about 35 and was good with it.

I'm getting an exception, and the app wouldn't load.

When I tried to load the app configuration page I get this.

I also received this message in the middle of the night, along with the same exception from a different line.
Which is why I was going into the app, to figure out why Echo Speaks had stopped working.

I tried again several times and eventually the app loaded and says it refreshed the cookie.

I've noticed that Echo Speaks seems to stop working every couple of days. I have to go in and sign back in to Amazon in order for things to start working again. Is this normal and/or is there anything I can do to stop it from happening?

[tonesto7]

I’m not sure where the issue lies but I’ve seen it. I couldn’t duplicate it. It seemed like the perfect storm of events caused it to see the cookie was bad.

The only difference with this and st side is the minor bug in error handling with the async functions on hubitat.

You see fixes for it in the v2.0.5 platform update (I don’t have an eta for that release)

[doug]

I haven't seen it happen again since.

[Andrew1]

Whilst checking my logs I’ve noticed that every 1 minute for each of my Echo devices I have the following message logged:

Alexa Playlists Changed to [:]

This is when no speech is being generated. Should this be happening and if not does this mean that unnecessary processing is taking place ?

[doug]

This is happening intermittently. When it happens the text is spoken twice.
Seems no response is processed therefore it repeats.

Anybody have the execute routine ID working? I am trying to get that to work for me.

[cwwilson08]

It has worked for me in the past.

[napalmcsr]

for the routine id, do I just use the name?

[cwwilson08]

[DEPRECATED] Echo Speaks

I just figured I would point this out. You can trigger Alexa routines with the execute automation I'd command. Will give you access to ids. Works well for triggering my routines. I only have utterances setup. I do not know how it will work for other trigger types. However I am not sure it matters so much. Not intended for prime time yet. But could work for some. Also tony mentioned something on the other forum that I believe would basically let you string together whatever you want direct …

[napalmcsr]

Ahh, got it working! Thanks

[C379776]

Awesome App thanks. Dumb question, is there a simple 'chime' sound available?

I just made a test announcement with a empty string. Good enough!

[trent]

Noob here, attempting to install in Hubitat. Have added both the device (assuming driver code), and the apps code, have oauth secrets, but am getting this error code when running the installer - any ideas as to what I'm missing, forgot to do?
