Hi,
Im thinking about using an alexa to play small mp3 messages over wifi for my doorbell for example a prerecorded message for the delivery guy to drop the package at the door, but also use the aux (because my camera has an aux for 2 way audio).
Will Alexa automatically alternate between the 2 inputs?
I guess the other 2 parts shouldnt be a problem.
Best regards
Daniel
I have no idea what you are asking. What two inputs?
No. (I have no idea what he means either, but it sounds extremely unlikely.)
What’s your Alexa integration? Playing mp3 is one thing, but what is the camera integration?
The 2 inputs beeing
1 Wifi, play media from a ha automation
2 The aux input. Where the camera is connected to, used for 2 way audio. I want to know what happens when I play a message, and afterwards I want to use the 2 way audio hence the aux port. And vice versa.
About the Alexa integration:
Im thinking about buying an Alexa echo, so I dont use a integration right now. I was expecting its simular to other smartspeakers I use right now (where I can just select them as a device in my automation to play media on). For the camera there is no integration its just using the aux like any oldschool device like a mp3 player would for example
Am I thinking wrong?
Thanks and best regards
Afraid not. There isn’t an official integration for Alexa as a media player. These is a custom integration, Alexa Media Player, which is very popular, but it has been having a lot of issues lately. This may not be the time to spend money on it.
