Alexa-enabled devices with Raspberry Pi Pico W

[@siriusmicromaniac]

Hi - thanks for this video and the work you've done behind the scenes. I am interested in trying this but I only have Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W available - I did try experimentally following your steps but when I get to the stage of compiling / uploading the code to the Pi it fails with a 'device not supported' message even though the Pico 2 W is a supported device in the current versions of the libraries your code uses. Is it possible to explain in a sentence or two what changes need to be made to your source in order to compile and run the code on a Pi 2 W?

@@siriusmicromaniac Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Did you try step by step instructions at the GitHub repo? Btw, thanks for watching.

Thanks for the great video! I made it working as well with the echo 3th generation.

[@mrgreensworkshop]

Glad it helped!

[@recantha]

Good video. The method is convoluted but practical! Thanks for covering this!

[@mrgreensworkshop]

Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Actually it is. As you said it's practical and it was the fastest way to implement. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching.

Would this work for a garage door opener?

[@mrgreensworkshop]

If you can make the required electrical connection (Relay or SSR), why not?

[@NicholasOrlick]

@@mrgreensworkshop I suppose it would just be like a switch or anything else

The pico W connects well, but after about eight or 10 minutes it loses connection spontaneously. I can unplug and replug to reconnect but that gets to be a pain. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[@mrgreensworkshop]

I didn't have any problems while testing it. Please use the tested versions that I mentioned (Async TCP and Arduino Pico Core) on the GitHub repo. BTW, thanks for watching

[@thejasrinivas2090]

can we configure to control multiple pinouts independently?

[@mrgreensworkshop]

Yes you can, Please check out the examples on GitHub. I'm sure you can get the idea.

@@mrgreensworkshop is echo needed or can we add a device from alexa app? ( I don't have echo device right now)

[@mrgreensworkshop]

@@thejasrinivas2090 I'm not sure if it's possible.

Thank you so muchFor this link

It’s in arduino/c code, but Im using micropython😂. Another lots of things to learn. However im quite confident i can figure out a way. It has to be one if those few protocols

[@mrgreensworkshop]

You are welcome.

one minor point, needs the cloud, local voice recognition might be doable.

[@mrgreensworkshop]

Thank's for watching. Indeed might be doable. 😊

I tried setting this up for my girlfriend, but she doesn't have a password on her wifi. I tried deleting the required attribute and make the pattern .{0} in the html but to no avail. How would I set this up without a wifi password?

[@mrgreensworkshop]

Hi, Check the function name called configModeCheckAndWifiConn; inside the function there is a part that checks the "ssid" and "pass" variables to see if they're null or not. By removing the "pass" null check, it should work. Connecting such an IoT device to a non-secure network is highly discouraged.

Thanks bro…

Lol unwatchable in a house with Alexa devices

[@mrgreensworkshop]

Imagine editing the video in a house with Alexa devices. Ohh man..
