Hi,

I have **NodeRED version 2** and I have had Alexa working until recently.

This is on my RPI with an IP of **192.168.1.65** I did try and get it working on that one my updating "node": "\>=16.0.0" But it crashed my RPI and it took many hours to get working, but it still has Node 12.

Another PC has **NodeRED V3** and IP of **192.168.1.67** In the future I wish to use Docker on a more powerful PC, so I have tried to get Alexa working using Docker on this PC.

I have got NodeRED working on it and installed node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel 5.0.48

I then get message open [http://192.168.1.67:3456](http://192.168.1.67:3456) in your browser. I enter details and get ... **Amazon Alexa Cookie successfully retrieved.** You can close the browser.

Then I get in NodeRED **"Unexpected end of JSON input"**.

In node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel 5.0.48 i have set the path to the same as above dummy text.  
I look into the file where the Cookie should be and nothing is in there ?  
I have tested that dummy text can be written to that file using NodeRED write file.  
Somehow the browser isn't saving that data to that file ?

Any idea welcome as I am lost.

Thanks Gaz

I seem to have solved this part myself 😀  
Instead of using the PC address which Docker desktop is running on ... I used **127.0.0.1:3456**  
The cookie was then saved into my text file from the browser.

Now onto my next problem, Alexa isn't responding to commands, but I will start a new subject on here for that, as I think some others are having problems with Alexa responding 🙄
