You cannot simple copy and paste.
1st - you need a harmomy remote
2nd - you have to adapt the entities to your ones
3rd - the pasted code above are input_selects and scripts and is only a subset of the complete code. Some automations have to be written as well
Last but not least: Don’t copy and paste. See this example as help or orientation how to approach an own solution and build it up step by step by your own.
look in the history from alexa to see if you can find the commands there.
if they are there then its an amzon problem, if not then its a problem from this intergration.
only stop, because else it wouldnt show up in history at all
try saying it a few times to alexa, then see in the history if she writes it differently, then you do in your automation. (i suspect you dont use english)
also look for capitals, etc.
Newbie here, and maybe this is answered somewhere but I can’t find it. I’m trying to setup the Alexa media player for 2FA. My system is up to date as of 2/6/2021 (Pi-4).
Following the Wiki at: https://github.com/custom-components/alexa_media_player/wiki/Configuration
I obtain the 2FA App Key from amazon, then in step 4
“Enter the value from 3 under the Built-in 2FA App Key when adding the integration. 2FA should be automatically generated from now on and can be left blank.”
what does ‘3’ mean in this instruction it make no sense to me. maybe it’s a type O or something. The Amazon page seems to expect you enter a generated key from the ‘APP’ to confirm proper setup of the 2FA App Key. How do I get the Alexa media player to display a generated key? Also there are various optional check boxes that may or may not be needed to be checked but there is no guidance on how to set these. What would be really help is an example of the setup page with the entries and items checked that are needed for proper 2FA setup. (with bogus App Key of course). Needless to say it never logs in to the account, and give me notification or failed logins. I still have entries in configuration.yaml for ‘alexa_media’ should I remove these? Thanks for any help.
It’s been a long time since I installed the integration, I have all my devices, but the echo studio loudspeaker never returns its status, it always remains on a previous status, while my other devices work perfectly.
would you have a solution please, because I would like to use it to make automations according to its status but it does not go back up.
I will share my experience with this custom component and the mini-media-player, in lovelace To use the button in mini-media-player associated with the media player of alexa, i use this
- type: custom:mini-media-player
entity: media_player.echo_cuisine
icon: 'mdi:amazon-alexa'
hide:
source: true
power_state: false
controls: true
source: icon
tts:
platform: alexa
shortcuts:
columns: 3 # Max buttons per row
buttons:
- type: custom
name: Virgin Radio
id: "play virginradio on tunein"
icon: mdi:radio
- type: custom
name: Fun Radio
id: "play fun radio on tunein"
icon: mdi:radio
- type: custom
name: Skyrock
id: "play skyrock on tunein"
icon: mdi:radio
- type: custom
name: Mouv'
id: "play mouv on tunein"
icon: mdi:radio
The button type property and the the button id property corresponding to the property of the service in the custom component alexa media_content_id and media_content_type . It’s really simple to use like that
Some notes: I successfully logged in a few days ago with 2FA enabled and this is the method I’m trying to use now. I had to start from scratch and create a new Amazon account and relink everything because when I transitioned my Alexa integration from the Philips Hue emulator to the self-hosted AWS solution, Alexa continued to recognize two phantom Philips devices no matter what I tried to purge them.
Using my new account, I’m now presented with additional challenges through the login proxy that I don’t remember the first time around. Specifically, a CAPTCHA challenge and then a request to enter a OTP (there is no field to enter it) is preventing me from authenticating. Is anyone else seeing this? Did Amazon change something to break the proxy, or is it just me?
Please open an issue and provide the domain you’re trying. I just tested it for .com and .co.uk and I’m getting the right fields to fill in.
Please note the message you’re getting is strange in that it’s the screen for selecting where to generate an OTP and is typically filled with a email or SMS option. If you hit send OTP does it take you to the input screen for the OTP?
