Problem on configuring alexa echo #60

Closed platini76 closed 5 years ago

platini76 commented 6 years ago

just an info I have problem on configuring alexa echo, I need cloud or there is a method to add it without cloud?

I mean:

alexa_main: friendly_name: Alexa Main device_class: connectivity entity_id: device_tracker.44650df543ec value_template: "{{ is_state('device_tracker.44650df543ec', 'home') }}" icon_template: >- {% if is_state('device_tracker.44650df543ec', 'home') %} mdi:voice {% else %} mdi:voice {% endif %}

I don't find my echo device tracker. sorry for noob question.

The above code only allows you to track if your echo is online or not. To actually add echo so she can voice control your system you need to add the cloud component and then the alexa skill.

Try starting with this https://www.nabucasa.com/config/amazon_alexa/
