Alexa speaks! How to make Alexa speak using node-red-contrib-alexa-remote

[@powermate]

Hi. Thanks for the video. I had fun eventually getting the dot to talk. This is the only way i have found so far. Great effort.

[@thomaspoett868]

good explanation! Tnx mate …

Looks like the compression needed to get this one onto KZbin hasn't done the smaller text any favours. I'll see if I can get a better result from it in the next few days.

Hi there ! is there any way to pass the "text" via function node ? I have tried to clean the Text in alexa remote node and pass a value with msg.text="My_Text" but seems is not working in this way.... Any comment are appreciate. Thanks Rino.

[@64rino64]

Very sorry, I succeded in sending a message from a msg.payload in this way: return {"payload":{"text":msg.payload}} Bye Rino

i see there is also a node called "node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2 " while you use "node-red-contrib-alexa-remote". did you try remote2?

[@jeffth]

I've not tried it. I think it brings further functions, but I just wanted speech.

[@thomaspoett868]

remote2 works the same way as Jeff explains. so good to go ahead

Hello Jeff Thanks for your video. I have a question/issue When I log out from the website (alexa.amazon.co.uk) the Echo don't function. The Cookie change and don't work (login error). There is possibility to fixe this issue? Regards

[@jeffth]

Hi, You'll need to ask the creator of the node red code about that. It makes sense that the cookie would expire, though, and there's no easy automated way to replace it.

[@dariomazzi9610]

Hello JeffIt is clear How many time the COOKIE would expire? How many time you change it (1 at week)?Regards

[@powermate]

the cookies expire in the node unfortunately

[@jeffth]

Yes, eventually. Sooner if you log out of Amazon in the browser that you lifted them from.
