ok ok, lesson learned, but I really need help with that question, it is very important please
Can you tell us which Alexa node you are using as there are quite a few.
The node most people have had success with is... node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel
The nodes I'm using at the moment are the one above and... node-red-contrib-alexa-remote-fork
is this
Has this ever worked or did you just install it ?
Did you follow the instructions here ?
Hi Dave
Sorry, I know it's an old post but I have only just bought an Echo Dot and thought I would give some of the flows here a try. I have searched the library but cannot find the ip node. Would you please let me know what it is?
I already track the temperature of my Pi's but I do the identification manually. Automating this seems a GOOD idea. 
I think the node I used was...

That was it. Thank you
Great thread. Hope it's still being followed.
I tried to implement the schema using node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel 5.0.50
and Blueprints Q&A skill.
However, I found the following:
- When I ask a question to my custom Blueprint Q&A skill (or for that matter to any other skill), I get back:
alexaResponse: "" - When I ask a question that Alexa answers itself (like what time is it), I get back the full string of the response. For example,
alexaResponse: "It's 11:56 PM."
In both cases, though the summary field captures my original question.
However I would prefer to filter on Alexa's response rather than my initial question which may have multiple phrasings...
Hello - and welcome to the Forum.
A few months back I had problems with getting reliable responses from Alexa, so I went down this route using Virtual Smart Home (VSH) node.
