This page is very much WIP - Work In Progress, I have not a complete understanding of the group and tags used in my files |
The setup itself is described here and works ok - https://www.openhab.org/docs/ecosystem/alexa/ - the use of https://myopenhab.org/ has a few benifits: 1) Takes care of the oAuth2 authentification precess and 2) You dont need to open for openHAB in Your firewall.
After the setup I could not get my.openhab.com to talk to my local openHAB, I saw these in the openhab.log:
2017-11-05 17:34:43.985 [ERROR] [io.openhabcloud.internal.CloudClient] - Socket.IO 4 error: not authorized |
but after a while and a few UUID/Socket entering and restarts it suddenly worked.... I never figured out why...
After the setup, in went onto https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html#appliances and added the skill:
Then I created some files for binding the speach to Alexa and the (Zensehome) Things together.
Refer to OpenHAB with Zensehome . The Channel is the relation to a Thing; the "mqtt:topic:61a4bec6:kitchen-light" is the unique identifier.

Then I went back to Amazon and scanned for Devices.
This little movie shows a rescan of devices:
Notice the "Dinner Table Light" is standing as offline - currently that is a unresolved issue.... |
During testing - I did a tail on the Log from OpenHAB with Zensehome to see the commands being passed to the "Java Application as Bridge":

So there is room for some serious improvement.
