Now the authentication problem with various Alexa nodes has been sorted I thought I'd try something new. I used BluePrints to create a Q&A skill called 'Give me a status report' then linked that in the flow below. I've arranged for various devices around my home to report their status to a databas…

Hi @DiverRich , i got inspired by you and have no almost all my logic managed via the applestrudel and even figured out on how to mute Alexa :slight_smile: [image] how to silence Alexa? make sure you only process valid commands (proceed with otherwise ) [image] do not respond to your own r…

Hello xx_Nexus_xx could you please post your sample flow as code? When I try to import it in node-red it throws an error. Regarding your question about the Q&A. I guess the idea with the Q&A is avoiding Alexa to complain about unknown commands, but it seems you solved that problem with the stop …

Yeah, that was my understanding with the Q&A blueprint as well .. but it did not pass the "WIFE" testing and kept throwing alexa responses. here is my "Try & Error" code .. (does need clean-up and optimization) Alexa_QA.json (15.3 KB) Update: I had muted Alexa too much , now im announcing all Ale…

@xx_Nexus_xx - Nice! This is good stuff. Very smart. I'm looking forward to playing around with this. One problem I'm still trying to fix is after giving Alexa a command, she gives her reply and does the thing, but then about 30 seconds later she repeats her reply. Are you seeing that issue too? A…

yes, I have this issue sometimes .. I'm now adding those alexa phrases in the "Ignore" node [image] this helps to stop those phrases I had similar problems with numbers ... and solved it with the "STRING" node .. replacing numbers like "forty" with 40 ...at moment I only do increments of 5 .. but…

I have another problem ... the Alexa routine node sometimes takes ages to send out a speak command [image] sometimes this stays in "sending" state for 20-40seconds [image] Anybody else is having this issue ... or does even have a soltion for it ?

Hey Community, When I try to ask alexa a question and then derive a flow from it, the first thing she always says is: "I am unfortunately not sure" and then the flow begins. or: (just an example) If I ask: how many people are in the house Here is a response from an Alexa Answers user....... .…

@MrThiemann - I have never heard her say that, but she does seem to have a whole book of programmed excuses for not understanding me. :joy: Do you have an example flow you can post? That might help narrow down the problem.

Hi @MrThiemann , you are in the same boat as all of us :wink: ... welcome to the party .. if you read my previous posts, I attack the issue by sending a "stop" command back to Alexa.. this will stop execution usuallly before it is announce .. sometimes Alex does start :frowning: but will than be sto…

[image] MrThiemann: how many people are in the house I use the examples from here =) they are amazing ! but I'll show you mine :wink: [ { "id": "4af9baa52f6636b1", "type": "alexa-remote-event", "z": "536ecdf8206cbd81", "name": "", "account": "fecd…
