Sorry, didn't want to register on Ars. Instead of selecting the device like you mentioned in the article, you can just make the device name static according to the serial number.

See http://hintshop.ludvig.co.nz/show/persistent-names-usb-serial-devices/ for example. So you can then have /dev/teddy_ruxpin no matter what real device it is.

Thanks @renekliment, I will. Going to return to the alexa-pi side of it soon and see if I can get this to work with the plugin architecture you did.

Great :-) Please also

have a look at my PR here (#2)
test https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi/pull/134 if you can, so we can have official bear support in AlexaPi :smile:
