[GUIDE] Echo Speaks Server on Docker (or without)

ya wasnt that.. followed rlithgow instrucitons here and got it working

Yes, I had the same issue. Set up a zone (call it what ever you want). A child app will be created under echo speaks. Go into the child app and click the CREATE DEVICE switch. The name of the group will now be a device. Set your announcement to go to that device. It will now do all speakers in that group at once instead of one at a time.

just assumed it would automatically create the device with all echos.. as the voice test feature worked for that when i toggled that.

anyway for urgent alerts when we dont know which house/property we will be in (ie water leak, etc) this is the only way to go.. otherwise you have to go tweak your hubs everytime you switch locations.

thanks again.. now ill have to set it up at our other house when i get back.. i accidentially nuked all the echos by changing password on my amazon account (someone was trying to hack me) just to be safe and clicked the sign out all devices.. forgetting that would nuke all the echos as well. sigh

once i am sure it is automatically refreshing the cookie successfully i will change all my notifications to that.. is there any option to get a text when the cookie is refreshed?

also anyway to summorize.. this does work in qnap nas with a little tweaking.. The only changes i made on creating it in docker was to add the ipaddress variable and change the port to 8091 so that it didnt nat a high port to 8191.. i did it directly in the qnap container station..
