Proper instructions please #22

This step in particular:

Go to developer.amazon.com and create a Skill mapped to the Lambda function ARN, intentSchemas and sample utterances are in config/.

Could you please elaborate? I don't want to spend my evening backwards engineering the code to figure out how to use it. I appreciate the hard work, but without proper instructions this likely won't go very far.

Hi Naatan, I made a video tutorial showing how it works step by step. Please take a look on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAt8HLUtFSs

@futureup Stuck on last step - SNS subscription. PendingConfirmation into portal. I'm need a real ip address from my isp or not?

The issue here is probably access to the port the local listener is running on. The SNS subscription confirmation is sent back to :

When the local listener starts up (via ./start.sh/docker-start.sh) it will show the external IP and port it has used. It relies on UPNP to allow port access. If UPNP is not available or disabled then you can specify a port and then setting up port forwarding. e.g. ./start.sh -p 30000

If you are behind a VPN this may also cause issues, as the port is likely not accessible. You can override the external IP to your non-VPN IP and see if that helps. ./start.sh -i 123.123.123.123 -p 30000
