Open a Dashboard on Amazon Alexa Echo Show

[Bobsilvio (Silvio)]

I have created a skill downloadable from the store,
SKILL EN: Amazon.com: Home Assistant Dashboard : Alexa Skills
SKILL IT: Amazon.it: Home Assistant Dashboard : Alexa Skills
It allows you to open the HomeAssistant Dashboard with the voice command “Alexa, open home automation.”
Not only that, I have also created a Widget, which allows you to directly open the dashboard from the home screen of EchoShow devices.

After installing the “Home Assistant Dashboard” skill, a list called “IPHomeAssistant” will be created in your lists (where the shopping list is also located). I have now reached version 3.0 (the first two were only released in Italy).
Install Kiosk Mode from HACS
Settings:

1. IP:
2. HEADER:
3. SIDEBAR:
4. PROTOCOL:

1- You need to enter your IP, which can also be a domain, always accompanied by the port (yours obviously), by default 8123. For example: “IP:192.168.1.100:8123” or “IP:mydomain.org:443”.
2- By default, you will find ‘False’, but you can change it to ‘True’. This setting allows you to hide the HomeAssistant top bar, for example, “HEADER:True”.
3- By default, you will find ‘False’, but you can change it to ‘True’. This setting allows you to hide the HomeAssistant sidebar, for example, “SIDEBAR:True”.
4- Here you should enter the protocol, which is ‘http’ by default. You can change it to ‘https’, for example, “PROTOCOL:https”.

Any changes you make to the settings (in the IPHomeAssistant list) take effect immediately when you launch the voice command. However, to be “seen” by the widget, you must always first call the skill at least once after the change, saying “Alexa, open home automation”.

Hi It seems not accessible from France

[akszyn_pl (Lord Adrian)]

After entering the local IP address orIs it like on the screen chew below i only have the ha logo on a blue background

And when I entered an external address, I have information about loading data (Despite the changed protocol to https) on my echo show 5 as seen below

And after chili inactivity (i.e. without touching the screen), it returns to to the home screen with the time

Could I ask for help with configure this up With home assistant version 2023.11.0?

Using the built-in browser, I can easily log in

And then control my ha without any problems

[Bobsilvio (Silvio)]

Ok, port for HA is 80? or 8123?

[NdR (Andrea Montanari)]

8123 if you didn’t change it

[akszyn_pl (Lord Adrian)]

My factory port is 8180 and if i add :80, I just display the same IP but without a port. With or without a port loads ha in the browser.

[Bobsilvio (Silvio)]

you add 8180 if is your port, not 80

Hi Bobsilvio,
Letting you know it is works great, thank you, I am from New Zealand. After a few minutes the echo show screen saver kicks in (which is normal). How do I reactive the dashboard without having to " Alexa open home automation" each time.
Cheers,
Ken

Hi Silvio, I’ve been trying to get the widget to work without success. Currently I don’t find it on my echo show anymore. What can I do ?

No matter what I do, the skill keeps saying “Before starting, you need to provide read and write permissions to the skill.” I have already checked the box for Lists Read Access and Lists Write Access. I have disabled and re-enabled the skill multiple times. I also never see the IPHomeAssistant shopping list appear. I am in the USA. Any further suggestions?
