Hi, The node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2 is just about the only node out there at the moment to easily control alexa and meke alexa speak among other things. If anyone knows of alternative please share. This may (or may not) be helpful, if you are having problems with trying to configure the alexa remote2 node and getting it to work.

I finally managed to get the node working again using this link to get the cookie (note: I cannot make sense using chrome method, but manage to use firefox to get the cookie): https://github.com/586837r/node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2/blob/master/get_cookie.md Anyone else having this problem? Cheers,
