All users of EchoSistant - please see this notice.
NOTE!!! ANYONE THAT UPGRADED OR INSTALLED BETWEEN 12:00 PM CST 24 DEC 2016 - 1:25 PM 25 DEC 2016 MUST UPDATE THE GROOVY CODE AND THE LAMBDA CODE. A GLITCH OCCURRED WHEN I MADE THE LAST UPLOAD AND BOTH FILES WERE CORRUPTED. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.
Highlight, copy, and past the ARN into Notepad on your computer. You will need this later, a lot. Save it.
Before this is the review page that you do not have a screenshot for. Not a big deal but it is another step before you get to the photo after step 10.
In Step 9. Main Intent Skill - Create / 6 - Amazon will not allow you to add a Custom Slot Type without adding something into the Value. But you said you will add this later in the wiki
It is a VSX-1022. It has a OS on it to manage the speakers, bass, settings etc. So when I did the test, it worked but it changed the input from the movie I was watching to the OS. It spoke the test phrase (cool) but when it was completed it didnt return to its previous input and movie.
Further, it also stopped the movie we were watching (via Plex for AndroidTV).
Yup see couple of posts above. That’s why I am not using mine. Too busy doing other things than trying to figure out how to switch back the inputs, or better yet, not to interfere with the video…
BREAKING NEWS: another milestone achieved. New feature will be published soon as update to v3…and you will LOVE IT!
I did the upgrade today… the wiki is great, I had no issues. Everything works as expected, excellent work! The conversational approach is definitely an option that Echo was missing.
My wife still gets a little confused when to use the native integration, Ask Alexa and when to use Echosistant. I think that’s mostly because I have not set everything up perfectly yet.
Great job!

Super Awesome! Glad you to got it all updated… I know it’s a lot of work with the Major Version updates… but it is definitely worth it…
Just a Version 4 teaser… you won’t be able to tell what is Native Alexa and what is EchoSistant!
…a version 5 teaser you won’t even need to say Alexa…the lights will just magically turn on when you walk into the room…Hold on a second, SmartThings got that covered already. Scratch plan, scratch the plan!
