Hey all,
I’m using the Alexa Media Player to integrate my Echo devices into HA. Reading all the information is working (a little bit unstable, but okay). Now I want to control the echo device from HA. I want to listen for the current state of the echo, and if it’s playing music (spotify or radio) than I want to automatically connect the dot to my AVR.
I think listening to the current state of the dot is not the problem, but I havn’t found a way to let the alexa device connect to a bluetooth speaker.
This are the attributes form the developer tools:
source_list:
- Local Speaker
volume_level: 0.2
is_volume_muted: false
media_content_type: standby
media_position_updated_at: '2021-03-25T10:54:20.369825+00:00'
source: Local Speaker
shuffle: false
available: true
last_called: false
last_called_timestamp: 1616708456433
last_called_summary: alexa
connected_bluetooth: null
bluetooth_list:
- VSX-930 B101AD
friendly_name: Alexa Wohnzimmer-Dot
supported_features: 56253
The “connected_bluetooth” attribute is changing, when I manually connect the dot via voice command. But there is no service to connect the device from HA.
Does someone has an idea how I can solve that issue?
Best regards!
