arduino esp8266 script changed in Alexa #44

Open TexAcoon opened 4 years ago

TexAcoon commented 4 years ago

kakopappa - I have used this script for over a year and worked so well I was planning on adding more devices to my home automation. Not sure what has gone wrong when asking Alexa to turn on the appliance it "states there is a malfunction" OR "cant find the appliance" (depending on what day it is and how good she feels.

I have not made any chances to the software and still can not get Alexa do discover any of my WeMos ESP8266s ... tried looking in "Serial Monitor" and do not see anything working. Has something changed in the Amazon Alexa for the system not to recognize the WeMos ESP8266 any longer?

kakopappa commented 4 years ago

Hi @TexAcoon

Emulation seems to have issues with new Alexa firmware updates. I think a smart home skill is the right way to do this. Do you mind giving a https://sinric.pro a try ?

TexAcoon commented 4 years ago

Sure I will download it and try it out .. Will let you know what the status is when complete.

TexAcoon commented 4 years ago

You have to pay for that service - I thought the whole idea of home automation using what we have is to only pay for the components and not the monthly programing. However, there is a free month involved and really interested what is going on with this ..

TexAcoon commented 4 years ago

Kakopappa - Do I use the same Arduino script or do I have to change another script .. for the smart devices that are built in like the Phillips light bulbs etc ... I can see how the connection would work .. Not sure if I have to add a new script to the WeMos or use the one you already created ... Thanks

kakopappa commented 4 years ago

Pro provides 5 devices for free for life and additional device is $3 per year!

you can find a sample sketch for switch here https://github.com/sinricpro/esp8266-esp32-sdk/tree/master/examples/switch

Fill in the functions with the code you had already. shouldn't take longer than 5 mins

TexAcoon commented 4 years ago

I have signed up and tried loading the software - Before there was not any issue uploading your script to "NodeMCU 1.0(ESP-12E)Module .. Now it gives me an error message: "exit status 1 Error compiling for board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)." with the SicRic I have tried several difference boards and they say the same thing .. What do you suggest?

kakopappa commented 4 years ago

Need more details

Are you using Arduino or PlatformIO?

Can you please upload a screenshot ?

I think you forgot to share the image properly.

It shows me this when i open your link

Maybe you do not have the dependencies installed

Aruna, Excellent job! identifying my issue! ..   I downloaded all three of the dependencies and did a Arduino code "verify" on the code ..That took care of it! ... Did upload the code just as a double check to the NodeMCU and loaded like it should.

I signed up at Sinric Pro and added a device naming it "Fireplace" ..  

I did receive a code for my account and one for the device "Fireplace" .. but it does not describe exactly what code is for which of the define(s)...  

define SOCKET_AUTH_TOKEN "??????"#define SIGNING_KEY       "YOUR-SIGNING-KEY"#define SWITCH_ID  "Fireplace"  ????

Thanks Doug (TexAcoon)

Thanks for the info on the different keys and which they represent ..   I will keep a copy of this email for future reference ... Seems the unit works fine turn on and turn off in Sinric Pro ..   But Alexa can not locate the device when I ask "discover devices" - What do  you suggest?    On Monday, November 4, 2019, 09:20:35 PM CST, Aruna Tennakoon notifications@github.com wrote:

have you enabled the Sinric Pro skill and linked it? it's in the home page https://sinric.pro/

After linking the account you should be able to see your device in Alexa app

TexAcoon commented 4 years ago

Aruna ...  I really do appreciate you helping me on this project ...  Seems a bit confusing dealing with another software... (but its new to me and now feel I have a better handle on it for future devices and I Thank You!) However, I looked on my cell phone under my devices through the Alexa App ....  Alexa is recognizing the device and turning it on an off on my cell but not on the ESP8266.... Apparently it's not linking back to the ESP8266 for some reason for switching..

np,

Yesterday, there were some problems with the sevice and it's fixed now. If still does not work

Please enable Debug Info, to do that

eg:

`

include

ifdef ESP8266

   #include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

endif

ifdef ESP32

   #include <WiFi.h>

endif

// new debug code starts here

define DEBUG_ESP_PORT Serial // Add this

define NODEBUG_WEBSOCKETS // Add this

define NDEBUG // Add this

// new debug code ends here

include "SinricPro.h"

include "SinricProSwitch.h"

`

.......

This enables Debug on Serial port. Please post your debug output here

According to your profile settings, you have not installed the skill.  Please make sure you have linked "Sinric Pro" skill.. not "Sinric" Skill

This is the correct icon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZT5VDT8

LOL! ... Well that had to be part of the problem ..  I had installed skill Sinric instead of Sinric Pro ..  Yup I can see how this makes a difference ... However, I asked ALexa to discover devices and still cannot connect to my ESP8266...  However, when I asked Alexa to Turn on or Turn Off the fireplace it stated "it's not responding"  which was different than before.  I would usually get from ALexa "OK" Im starting to wonder if I have a bad ESP8266..

Yes, Alexa integration seems to be fine now. your problem is there are no devices connected with device id "5dxxxxxx26505c"

Please make sure ESP device id is correct

TexAcoon commented 4 years ago

ok... I'm at a loss now ..  I thought through the sketch in the ESP8266 it identified the device number then identifies it through Sinric Pro.. for automation with ALexa.   With my ESP8266 not being recognized none of this works correctly ... ??? At this time I'm not sure why my ESP8266 is not coming up ...  If I remember in the past using the old sketch without Sinric Pro I could see my device on my network. What should I try to do next?

@kakopappa I set everything up a few weeks ago. I am able to make everything discoverable. But when i say "Turn On" It says this device does not have the capability. But i am able to discover etc . it showing up as a philips hue Bulb. I signed up for Sinric Pro. But why cant i just use the code instead of the Sinric service SO basically your Sinric Service works because your setting up a skill server with API? and still emulating with the same code?

TexAcoon commented 4 years ago

Here is what was wrong with mine: 1) Alexa Skills has to have Sinric Pro - NOT - Sinric (that also caused a lot of confusion to Alexa) 2) Sinric Pro.com - Personal codes have to be correct and in proper location in your Arduino Script. 3) We added a couple of line changes to my code that made it work: (compare my script to your script)

include #ifdef ESP8266 

include

endif #ifdef ESP32   

include #endif

define DEBUG_ESP_PORT Serial#define NODEBUG_WEBSOCKETS#define NDEBUG

include "SinricPro.h"#include "SinricProSwitch.h"

define WIFI_SSID "Add your WIFI SSID"

define WIFI_PASS" Add your WIFI PW"

define SOCKET_AUTH_TOKEN "token code"

define SIGNING_KEY "Sign in key"

define SWITCH_ID "Your device number you have in Sinric Pro for the named device"

define BTN_FLASH 0#define SERVER_URL "iot.sinric.com"

define SERVER_PORT 80 

define HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL 300000 // 5 Minutes 

bool myPowerState = false;unsigned long lastBtnPress = 0;

The rest of the script is the same....... 

After battling this for about three days we finally got mine to work .. However, another part of my issue was a weak WIFI system where I was located. Since then that has been upgraded. Please let us know if these changes worked for you ..  Figured Aruna worked his butt off to help get mine going and I am passing over information that got my system going to others.Overall my system is working like a champ .. and getting ready to add a couple more devices.

@TexAcoon I believe i can get that working. I was just curious of another way around it. Anyway to setup a local server on network etc. So i dont have to run anything through an API. I like to have some control. LOL

kakopappa commented 4 years ago

@clox-coder Hi,

With Alexa skill, there is no emulation. Emulation is not the right way to do this (my opinition) and Amazon Skill is. Emulation tends to break when Alexa updates firmware and sometimes devices go missing. It used to work but lately it is not.

  1. Disable Sirnic Skill if you have used it before.

  2. Create a Sinric Pro account.

  3. Link Sinric Pro skill.

  4. Login to portal from https://sinric.pro and create a new device.

  5. Download the Sketch https://github.com/sinricpro/esp8266-esp32-sdk/blob/master/examples/Switch/Switch.ino

  6. Install Sinric Pro library from Arduino Library manager

image

  1. Copy the APP KEY, APP SECRET from Credentails tab on your left and update example sketch

  2. Copy the Device Id from Devices tab and update the Sketch and Flash.

When the device connect to the server, you will see a notification appear.

clox-coder commented 4 years ago

@kakopappa i appreciate it. I understand how to configure the setup. I was just looking for a local way to do this. Creating a local server etc.

Please use #include "SinricProLock.h" to include SmartLock device.

I really like that! .. and with a code ...   Would like a copy of the script if it's available.Hope one day Alexa understands OPEN and CLOSE since they are common words used each day for various task.

Hi Doug!

Here i prepared the sketch for you. It's simple as Switch example...except it's using SinricProLock instead of SinricProSwitch.

Voice pin is required by alexa if you want to use voice activated unlock. Add a SmartLock on portal.sinric.pro. After it is discovered, go to alexa app and configure your smart lock device. You have to explicit enable voice unlock and you have to define a pin!

/*
 * If you encounter any issues:
 * - enable serial debug (see section below)
 * - open serial monitor and check whats happening
 * - visit https://github.com/sinricpro/esp8266-esp32-sdk/issues and check for existing issues or open a new one
*/

Loaded the ESP8266 without issues and recognized by Alexa in discovery by Alexa. I went to Alexa App ... SETTINGS - DEVICES and looked for a smart lock. I do not see where it is recognized in any of the devices the only thing on my Device List is my echo and dots ... neither the fireplace or the garage is listed is what I have using a ESP8266.

You have to login at https://sinric.pro and create a device!
