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…

OMG - this is so much fun. I've expanded my flow so I can hear a report for my home, my infrared sensors or my weather stations. When I have some spare time I'll write a tutorial on this for my IoT students. Also made the flow more modular - so hopefully it's easier to understand. [Screen Shot …

If you preserve the msg.name parameter for device activity then it will automatically respond to the requesting device. In my case I have multiple node-red controllers in my motorhome, so I use MQTT and let the appropriate node-red controller act on the request. I would really like to see a chat sk…

Another quick update and an idea... I've added a function node to check the core temperature of my Raspberry Pi and if it above a certain value send an alarm message to my Alexa-Speak flow. Works really well. [Screen Shot 06-17-21 at 09.19 AM] As I have a cluster of four RPi-4Bs and four RPi-3Bs…

A further update on the idea I posted this morning. I've simplified the MQTT topic to just... "alexaspeak" and put all the details in a json string in the payload. Here's a screen-shot of the flow that goes in each RPi server to monitor the core's temperature. [Screen Shot 06-17-21 at 04.49 PM] …

The funny thing is that it works evey time for the alexa smarthome node with no problems apart from the speak node. I am using node-red-co…

I'm using... node-red-contrib-alexa-remote-fork I edited line 797 in the .js file as detailed below, and since then the node has worked really well. Was working great and now won't authorise on 3456 opened 09:26AM - 17 May 21 UTC (UTC) …

hey @dynamicdave I'm still brand new to nodered. I use Home Assistant for my smarthome and have just connected nodered and alexa here. I would like to be able to ask Alexa about entity states. Something like "what is the temperature of the pool" and get a status back from Alexa. Your solution looks…

Here's the flow for this part.
