i dont. there are to many things you need with hasska which you can avoid when you chose other ways.
for haaska you need:
a creditcard (i dont own one and dont want one)
a port from your router opened to the world (and if you dont have a static IP, which most dont have) a service like duckdns and lets encrypt
there is nothing that i can do with haaska, that i cant do on other ways, that dont need those things.
there was a time that i considered haaska, but i wouldnt recommend it to anyone as the situation is now, ubless the person already has a creditcard AND duckdns and letsencrypt working. (preferably behind a proxy server)
i never used the AD alexa interface, but created my own AAA (Appdaemon Alexa App)
which used a custom skill on amazon.
but the constant changes on amazon side made it hard to maintain that. (it kept working, but i needed to figure it out over and over because they kept changing the interface)
now i just use emulated hue (no ports needed) to have triggers that i can trigger with alexa routines
and the shl script from Alexander Noack (which other copied and changed and what did lead to all TTS options that are now available)
so
speak to alexa > emulated hue > state change in HA > automation (AD)
state change in HA > automation (AD) > shl script > alexa speaks, or activates a routine, or starts music (or anything else you can do in the amazon alexa app)
no need for open ports, giving away credentials, having a creditcard, program custom skill, or anything like that.
It cannot be done that way. HA can not view the camera on the ring. It can view the last recorded item which only is retrieved every minute and a half by default.
My echo plus acts as my hub so I can’t check status of lights or turn them on etc(To my knowledge). But using the script you mention and adding the lights to their own routine via the Alexa app, I can now turn my lights on and off atleast! I’ll try get this working via HA now
Didn’t even think of doing the lights via a routine thanks for this!

Is there a command-line app for Windows that allows me to submit text based commands on behalf of my Amazon Echo device? So that after I submit a text command, my Amazon Alexa Dot repies will respond with the respective voice command?
