Warning: Starting July 1, 2024, you will no longer be able to use List skills or the List Management REST API to access Alexa lists, i.e., the Alexa Shopping and To-Do lists, in your skills or apps.

when i say “alexa open home automation” it takes me to a page where i enter all the settings. IP, port, protocol. Then i tap save. Takes me back to alexa home screen, then i say alexa, open home automation and screen remains black forever. I have to say alexa close home automation so it takes me back to alexa home screen. What else do i need to do ?
Just tried it out, is available in AT now, so I guess it should work in DE too.
Didn’t get it to work though, keeps telling me, that the IP is not valid… I’ll give it another try, when I have more time for it.
After Amazon blocked the ability to access the lists, now we will do the configuration directly through a home screen. At the moment the data entered is not visible on a subsequent access, but I’m working on it.
Install the Skill.
Say 'Open home automation'.
The first time it will open the settings, enter the data and save.
Now you’re ready to open the dashboard by saying ‘Alexa, open home automation’.
To open the settings, you have to say ‘Alexa, ask home automation the settings.’
SETTINGS:
“IP:” Here you can set an IP or URL
“Port:” This is the port, default is 8123
“PROTOCOL:” Choose between http or https (default is http)
Kiosk Mode:
“FULL:” Removes both the top and bottom bars
“HEADER:” This mode allows you to remove the top bar (False or True)
“SIDEBAR:” This mode allows you to remove the sidebar (False or True)
*Note: You can find the Local IP of your home assistant by using certain apps or programs to scan all devices connected to your router.
We have 2 show’s in the house, an older small one, and the 15inch one. I was able to get it working on the small one, but on the 15inch, no matter where i press on the screen it wont pull up keyboard/fields to enter any of the settings?
