2) add dependence on package.json "dependencies": { "node-red-contrib-alexa-home-skill": "*",

3) create account on https://alexa-node-red.bm.hardill.me.uk

4) add component online LED as lamp with on off capatibilities

5) open alexa app on my phone and discovery new device alexa find "lampadina1" and i rename as same name "LED" equal to device configured on https://alexa-node-red.bm.hardill.me.uk

6) add on nodered flow component LED connected with pin gpio26

It's not totally clear what you are asking here.

Can you please tell me the username you are using so I can look up what devices you have created

hardillb commented 5 years ago

Also in your instructions you don't mention actually linking the skill in the Alexa app. Did you remember to do this?

neodevit commented 5 years ago

yes a have installaed a skill alexa and then discovery a new component and alexa find lampadina1 and i change the name in LED. mi account are NEODEV

hardillb commented 5 years ago

You need to run discovery again if you rename the device (because you had to delete the device and recreate it to rename it and as such it's internal ID will have changed)

hardillb commented 5 years ago

You will also probably need to make sure the node has the right (with the right new name) selected.

1) change alexa app name to PROVA 2) try from app but PROVA not respond

I not know the error

  1. Do not change the name of devices in the Alexa app, there is no need and it just confuses things.
  2. The Lampadina1 device is nothing to do with this skill
  3. You have not linked the Node-RED alexa skill to eyour account, there is no access token in the database.

You need to go to the skills list in the Alexa app and link the skill. This will ask for the username and password you used to set up the account on the site.
