Alexa "Echo Node" how to input a device name or SerialNumber, to get information about the device

[wwyyrrmm]

Hi,
I want to send a Message to the Alexa-Echo-Node, with a deviceName to information about the device.
I tried payload,device,deviceName,name,id ... and others.

AlexaEcho:

This is working well, but I want to change the device or deviceID, this is not working dynamically

:o( can anybody help?

You can input the name or id of the echo using any msg property you wish. In this example I have use msg.payload
e.g.

[{"id":"d4e55e1616b67743","type":"inject","z":"b9860b4b9de8c8da","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"G056756df430C6","payloadType":"str","x":160,"y":3060,"wires":[["7e86a25a34159dd7"]]},{"id":"d0bf7757ada5ae32","type":"inject","z":"b9860b4b9de8c8da","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"Lounge","payloadType":"str","x":150,"y":3020,"wires":[["7e86a25a34159dd7"]]},{"id":"7e86a25a34159dd7","type":"alexa-remote-echo","z":"b9860b4b9de8c8da","name":"","account":"c8738129.d902c","config":{"option":"get","value":{"what":"bluetooth","device":{"type":"msg","value":"payload"}}},"x":390,"y":3020,"wires":[["ed8a158fd90c551c"]]},{"id":"ed8a158fd90c551c","type":"debug","z":"b9860b4b9de8c8da","name":"debug 324","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"true","targetType":"full","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":490,"y":3100,"wires":[]},{"id":"c8738129.d902c","type":"alexa-remote-account","name":"alexa remote 2","authMethod":"proxy","proxyOwnIp":"localhost","proxyPort":"3456","cookieFile":"","refreshInterval":"14","alexaServiceHost":"layla.amazon.co.uk","amazonPage":"amazon.co.uk","acceptLanguage":"en-GB","onKeywordInLanguage":"","userAgent":"","useWsMqtt":"on","autoInit":"off"}]

I use a technique just like @E1cid to capture a response from Alexa and use that to direct the resultant message to the appropriate Alexa device.

I have a flow that is triggered every morning at 7:00am that goes and gets the weather forecast for my town, then sends it to the Alexa in my Back Bedroom.

During the day I can utter the words... "Alexa, give me a weather report". To which she reponds (using BluePrints) - "OK - please wait while I check the piece of sea weed". I trap this response and pick-up the name of the device that was used in this discourse. In this example it was... "Device_name is Study" which is copied into msg.destination. As you can see this part of the message is used in the "Alexa_Routine" node to route the response to the appropriate Alexa device.

Crazy, thank you very much. It takes a while to find the msg.payload option in the node. I was blind, because, if you have selected a device in drop down combobox, the msg option is no longer visible, after I select the list button on right, and select the serialnumber of the device, I was able to select the msg.payload.

Thank you very much,

Did anyone notice the same? Alexa device listening node is no longer working. The authors of this node are aware of the problem

This is the thread for the recent issue - not this one

Alexa Remote2 event nodes not working (again)

I know at least a few of us use this node, it seems to be broken again. There are lots of reports on GitHub but no solutions. Has anyone here found a fix ?
