14:57 can you help me at this point. no device is detected when discovering devices. do I need to do some other thing?

@SamiAbboud-mz4kk 5 месяцев назад

Hello dear, I live in lebanon and there is a lot of internet outage. Once I lose internet my alexa (show 8 gen2) is only a bluetooth speaker. Is there any way I can use it locally to do basic control over my devices? Many thanks in advance.

@jamiefl Год назад

Excellent video. There have been a few small changes to the AWS interface, but first, when prompted, choose Python 3.8. If you choose 3.9, the test script in a further step will not run. Next, when you get to adding a trigger, Alexa Smart Home has been moved. Choose Alexa and on the next screen, choose Smart Home, and continue with the vide. Thank you. This is complicated, but doable the way you presented it.

@thediabeticway9115 Год назад

No Alexa Smart Home! Do you just select the Alexa one as that is all there is? Sure a shame when doing videos they always change I learnt tthis with wear Os and now given up making helpful videos as it becomes hard work keep updating a video than text its self Great Video though so far I just so a sharch on what as changed but not sure why Alexa Home is not there now?

@Dmkjr 2 года назад

Worked great. For those that were just lost in the steps -- I had to circle back to the 'Alexa Redirect URI' being in the US and apparently since the video was released they are in a different order. "Layla" didn't work but the 'Pitangui' did work. Afterwards, all was well.

@bradpeabody3413 3 года назад

This video was perfect. Followed the detailed step-by-step instructions and had Alexa working Home Assistant in 20 minutes. Great job! Coffee headed your way. One other option for using port 443 is using Apache as a reverse proxy. Port 443 is forwarded to my web proxy machine which then forwards the http request to home assistant server on port 8123.

@EverythingSmartHome 3 года назад

Thanks Brad, appreciate it! Glad you found it useful and got it working! Yes that is another option, there are quite a few ways to do it!

@swooper2476 2 года назад

it FINALLY worked for me!! it took me countless hours because 443 wouldn't open. I called my ISP and got that resolved after a 2 hour phone call. They could not explain why it kept coming up as closed when it was opened on their end. Then after that...I kept getting a 404 error around the 8 minute mark. took me another 2 hours trying to figure that out but couldn't, so I started over, took my time and BOOM! Alexa discovered everything in my HA!!!!! thanks man, i really appreciate your video and my goodness the struggle was real!

@exepnakides6663 2 года назад

For those of you in Europe (I'm in Greece) who are trying to follow the video and you are failing at the last step, when you are trying to enable the skill in the Alexa app. If the error you are encountering is "Invalid client id or redirect Uri", try change the client id in your Alexa skill from the Europe one (layla) to the US one. I was looking many hours what I did wrong in the process and when I changed the client id it finally worked. Except from that, awesome video like always. I had watched it as educational before, but know that I got in my hands a Raspberry Pi it was time to try it out. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

I tried to follow some "step-by-step" procedure from lots of forums and took me FOREVER to make it work! you made it so easy on here. I SUBSCRIBED to your channel now. Your channel is one of my favorite now when it comes to DIY-HA-SMARTHOME along with DrZzz and Digiblur. Keep us updated and spread that knowledge to all the average DIYers out there like me. Thank you so much from California. Would love to see a guide that tracks BLE(Phones, BLE Beacon etc.) using ESP32 nodemcu and integrate it to HA. I use to have a USB Bluetooth Transceiver that is connected to one my server's USB port to do this thing but it got to the point that is so unreliable due to the location of my server. But with the ESP32 nodemcu you can place it around the house and serve as a BLE bridge to HA just like our sonoff ZB and RF bridge.

Thanks for the wonderful video tutorials. You saved lot of readings and gave the extract within 16 minutes. Your new subscriber here. I followed this video and got the Alexa integration done today. One note which I have observed, sharing here. If you already own an Alexa device, trying to integrate with your existing setup, create the Alexa developer and AwS cloud accounts with same ID that you have setup your Alexa. Due to some issue I had to use different account, at the end found the dev skill did not show up in my Alexa app. 😢 Managed it to solve using Amazon Household option but it’s not what you want to end up with. 😅

So when you create the LAMBDA function double check there you are on the right region. Also some of the menu navigation has changed in AWS but its will fairly obvious what you need to do (I got it working just following this guide and repeating a section because of the region aspect).

@WhoCares2509 2 года назад

@Everything Smart Home - Thanks for the instructions. I followed the steps and managed to get it partially working, with one major exception (so far) that has me stumped -- executing routines and acting on other events that are triggered by my HA devices. Example #1: I have created an input boolean toggle and a binary sensor that mimics the behavior of that switch with the type "door" (by creating a template in my configuration.yaml). My Alexa app on my Android phone is able to pick up the binary sensor as a device and I am even able to see the toggle change in "real-time". It is presented as an option to trigger routines (opened/closed), however it fails to start any routine. I was getting frustrated and didn't know how I would even START to assess the issue(s), so I tried another test, Example #2: I set up an Alexa routine with the trigger being a Zwave motion sensor that I know works for sure to trigger automations in HA, and that fails as well, even though the motion sensor is working in HA to turn on my lights. Can you please brainstorm on this and let me know if you come up with a solution, or something else for me to try in order to figure out exactly where I went wrong? I find it super weird that I can see the device change in the app and yet it does not act on the events. THANKS!

For all those who has a error: invalid client_id or redirect uri. I had the same issue. Check your "account linking" url via web alexa page. 1. My url looked like this: client_id=layla.amazon ... redirect_uri=pitangui.amazon... Compare client_id & redirect_uri 2. Home assistant skill icon under Dev skill in my case has badge devUS As i understand somehow i choose US region. In aws i have chosen EU(Ireland) and in developer console in pasted layla But at the end i have different client_id and redirect_uri in my linking url. So i have changed layla to pitangui in "Your Client ID" and the result was the same as we see on 12:35. So, i forwarded 443 port to 8123 on my firewall. And after that everything worked correct. Question: Maybe someone know where to change region in developer amazon com /alexa", because i fill that somehow i have chosen US region instead of EU.

It turned out that in alexa dev console I had language set to English (US), but lambda function was created in Ireland (eu-west-1) Also my default language in Alexa app was English (US), so I migrated lambda function to US East (us-east-1) and everything worked perfectly. So it seems that lambda must be created in same region as your default Alexa language

Hi thanks for the great video. For a beginer i only miss one thing, how to control my devices? How do Alexa know which light i mean if i say "Alexa, turn the light in the Kitchen on"?

Great video and following all steps allowed me to link Alexa with home assistant. Except for the very last step. Alexa did not discover ANY devices from Home Assistant :( Not sure what caused it. but I restarted the app and now they are showing up correctly! This is a great tutorial, really appreciate it! Create your custom application in AWS lambda, that communicates with HA. Genius! I am also using the Nginx proxy, so I don't expose the port but it comes on 443 with the letsencrypt and dynu DNS.

Great video! Thanks a lot for these instructions. I have one question. Everything is working perfect except the Broadlink commands. Any suggestion? I have broadlink switches using yaml file for my main IR codes that i want to manage using HA. Any suggestion how to make them work through Alexa?

@EverythingSmartHome 3 года назад

Thanks Andreas! Sorry I don't have a broadlink so I'm not sure!

Awesome video, one minor thing. When I use m echo show with a screen, if I say Alexa turn plug off, it runs perfectly and turns the plug off. But on the echo screen it will show the previous state of the plug which would be on. Then if I say Alexa turn plug on, the screen shows the plug as off. It is a minor issue, but is there anyway around it? I tested the official cloud version for HA and it show the correct state of the plug, so Alexa turn plug off, shows the plug as off, Alexa turn plug on, shows the plug as on.

The tutorial is great. I've got it all working, however is there a way to limit what gets sent to the Alexa app? At the moment it has a list of all my automations, all of my input_booleans etc. There's a list of things that doesn't work with Alexa all listed in the app. As a result the app is really slow and finding things is very time consuming. I don't necessarily want every light bulb there, but I am happy to have grouped lights in their place. That kind of thing.

Great work! Whats the advantage of this verse using the node red alexa palette add on? Does Alexa import the entities from home assistant?

@EverythingSmartHome 3 года назад

Thanks James! I'm not entirely sure as I haven't used that add-on sorry! Yes Alexa will import the entities from HA into the Alexa app. Hope that helps!

Amazon just sent an email saying that they are ending support for Python 3.7 in AWS Lambda. What adjustments do we need to do in order to be supported by Amazon?

@segar7297 2 года назад

Hi, im stuck at the Base_URL variable portion. As you mention that there is a need to put a single url(external) for the homeassistant. Can i know if i use my Nabu Casa url inside will it work? i tried that option but im getting an Task error time out. Will you be able to advise?

@vdera Год назад

Great Video, exactly what I was looking for! Can you provide some detail on the HA Skin/Setup you're using, please?

@george_gav24 5 месяцев назад

Might be a good time to re-visit this, set mine up a year a go and is almost completely broken, will have to revisit but there might be some changes due to HA updates, thanks

@Shadow123100 2 года назад

Great video!! Just one question, is it possible to have a local HA and NabuCasa just to set up Alexa? I've been binging through your videos about remote access and most of them require port forwarding and I just can't do that, so it seems I'm forced to subscribe to NabuCasa.

Thanks Lewis I have an Alexa account, but its a family account my wife's account is the primary I assume for this to work I need to set up a dev account linked to her amazon account?

@huskylfp1505 Год назад

Vale cada segundo éste tutorial!!!! Aunque en el error de logueo al final del video (Donde se hace la vinculación del skill) con solo quitar el puerto 8123 (No incluírlo) soluciona todo!

@virimpact Год назад

Love your videos.....I arrived at the activation of the skill, but the Alexa app does not discover any device. Can you suggest how to fix this?

@RichardTrautmann 2 месяца назад

Great video, got it working for me. Do you know a way to delete ALL ghosted entities in Alexa? It now has all my "old" nabu casa devices as well as a bunch of other old devices I no longer use. I can only see to delete one by one thru the app which is several clicks each. Terrible on Amazon's part. Do you know a way? Or maybe it's possible through the API somehow?

@SebVEVO 8 месяцев назад

Will Alexa still need to go to cloud first each time you ask it to control a HA device?

@falcogb2842 3 года назад

Really interesting video, thanks Lewis!

My man 🙌

@kvmgz 2 года назад

Is this still working with the new Home Assistant version as well? Or is there any other way to add SHE w/o Nabu Casa?

@mechrekt Год назад

Hi, thank you for your video! Can you tell me how can I ask Alexa to do something that is not just turn on or off a device in my home assistant, but do some HA automation, for example Alexa clean my kitchen and start an automation that controls my robot vacuum? For now I created an helper toggle switch that runs that automation, but this way I need to say Alexa turn on clean the kitchen 😁 Thank you!
