Are you using device_tracker’s in your configuration? If not, I’m not sure what that code will do.

Like I said, start with something simple.

Could also be that your HASS isn’t reachable from outside the network, though I seem to recall that checking this is a step to getting an Alexa skill set up in the first place.

63

yes
the two device_tracker in the code it’s me and my wife’s phone.
The HASS is reachable, I just checked it

64

Well, until you get rid of that 405 error in the Alexa console, it’s not going to work. Make sure you’ve got that part set up correctly.

HASS will also throw a 405 if you’re trying to do a GET instead of a POST, though I don’t recall getting a choice on that during Alexa setup.

65

I made it simple as you suggested, but still the same

{
  "intents": [
    {
  "intent": "ActivateSceneIntent",
  "slots":
  [
    {
      "name" : "Scene",
      "type" : "Scenes"
    }
  ]
}
     ]
}

and utterance

ActivateSceneIntent activate {Scene}

and in configuration

alexa:
  intents:
    ActivateSceneIntent:
      action:
        service: scene.turn_on
        data_template:
          entity_id: scene.{{ Scene | replace(" ", "_") }}
      speech:
        type: plaintext
        text: OK

correct no option get/popst in Alexa setup. Where can I start to troubleshoot, I have no idea …

67

I think you’ve got something wrong on the Alexa setup. Not much I can do to help you there.

Give this a read:

68

Where did you find this? I’m not seeing it in /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant? Can you help?

69

in HAAS or on Amazon server?

70

this, what?

71

I’m confused on where you found the www directory, because I don’t see it under /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/

72

you create a www directory and you put the videos in it

73

How so? Sorry for the dumb questions.

74

in linux:
mkdir www

75

Do I need to make a local folder also within the www folder or no? Do I just copy over my video?

76

inside www copy the video

77

My automation is loading up the chromecast symbol, however it’s not playing. Is this due to the file size being around 3gb?

78

Sadly, I’m unable to get the video to stream. :frowning:

79

yes one user reported size issues. Mine is 1,5Gb and is working. Try using a maller file

81

It’s working now! Now I’m planning on trying to get it to work with just say “Alexa turn on …” or “Okay Google turn on …” Have you got it to work with Alexa or google home?

82

yes, one of the two for sure, maybe both, can’t remember now, I am not at home
