Lol that happens when pushing out 50 different changes a night 
So can you wake up Alexa without a voice command yet. Iâm looking the article below and my idea for a camera such as if the system is Armed and motion is detected by the camera, all echo devices would be able to automatically soak by saying to of my house, the police have been notified and your picture has been recorded. https://www.padtronics.com/amazon39s-alexa-to-speak-without-voice-commands/
*speak by saying
Not yet⊠but as soon as Amazon releases that capability⊠we are going to be all over it⊠that feature is really at the heart of what this entire app is all about⊠communication
Love the continued growth of where the app is going!
So not knowing everything behind the scenes, realizing that product maturity is still ongoing and getting yourself a completely stabilized platform is ongoing, but really being able to expose this thing with the additional technology to come how does this become cost effective for you guys as developers? Have you thought about somewhere down the road once you have a completely consumer deployable app (normal consumer without knowledge of technology - kind of plug and play) available, to begin charging some sort of annual subscription cost or some other pay model. I am just asking because I donât know what the ROI or reward is for creating these apps for free (outside of the donation process). I mean a model hat helps pay for R&D, Support and Maintain., continued future development so this product continues and doesnât just become legacy when one or both of you move onto something else.
I have another question pertaining to having two apps available AA and ES. Not one versus the other but two apps serving the same audience with some different functionality that one does that the other doesnât and vice versa. Long term I see this as being a hindrance on the targeted audience. I have both installed and started with AA. For the way I am using this functionality, talking to Alexa was absolutely no different than when I talk to her directly. Having the flexibility to say things almost free format (like the analogy with the little kid, Alexa ugh ya turn the umm lights ya in the kitchen) to me allows a lot more freedom and flexibility than the native Alexa has but into her so Iâm just wondering if you guys have thought about collaborating so that one giant ST Digital Assistant exists with one application that contains whatever the other one has that the other is missing. Not something Iâm looking for an answer on right now. I just wanted to throw that out to you guys to think about if you havenât already been doing so. My opinion is that somewhere down the road, the two running side by side will cause more confusion and harm than good if it is isnât already doing that for the end user now because I see all the AA vs ES questions and which one is better and which one is right for me. Yada yada yada, you get what Iâm saying. Alright o have taken up enough of the thread for the day. Let you guys get back at it and keep up the awesome work!
good points⊠no comment.
PSA - the retreats in the notifications profile are not working properly. We are aware of the big and are working on it. It will be a bit before itâs fixed as we are both out of commission for a little while.
Recommend disabling any retriggers at this time.
UPDATEâŠfound the bug and pushed an update. Please make sure you open and close all Notification Profiles to apply the change. Sorry for the inconvenience that this may have causedâŠLatest Notifications add-on version is R.0.3.3
Hi, Iâm trying to set up the SHM security stuff in EchoSistant and got two errors back from Alexa below saying I have devices unsupported by Alexa.
I followed the instructions for step 4&5 and it doesnât complain about the âSecurity Offâ routine. Any suggestions on what to look for? Do I need to install the Security Suite Plug-in Module as well?
Jason, I am in the UK but have a very rudimentary idea of what I am doing with smartapps. Much patience would be needed to guide me.
I get the
Error: There was a problem with your request: The built-in slot type LITERAL is not supported for this locale._
Did you find anyone to test the update to the Profile AWS Skill?
No problem. Take a look at the current software versions in the wiki. You need to use the ones marked as both and Europe.
Iâm in the process of updating the wiki
Thanks Jason. I think I have all the correct software versions, but when I try to set up a profile skill I come unstuck with the error mentioned below. I managed to do it last week without the error - but although the simulator on the AWS console worked, the echo gave errors.
T
You said you are in the UK right? With the error you are receiving above you are not using the right AWS skill intent. The literal intent does not work in Europe.
You must use theâŠ
Profile intent
Profile custom slots
Profile utterance
That are labeled for Europe.
Thanks Jason, will try later
Has anyone created a webcore piston that triggered upon the execution of an Echosistant profile. I cannot get this to trigger.
What Profile is that?
Itâs a profile that works fine in CoRE. When I migrated over to webcore I could not fire the piston and donât know why.
Iâve tried two Echosistant profiles in webcore and neither work.
To use a cultural reference you are almost certainly too young to appreciate [expletive deleted] brilliant! (Unless youâve seen Watergate).
Worked a treat. I think that the Wiki has two lists of files and I was looking at one further down.
Speaking as a retired teacher, youâve done well with the WikI (and the software obviously) as I am absolutely clueless and I have managed to set up EchoSistant now.
Thanks a lot
Are these replicated from CoREâŠand they were working fine before? (I assume these are Messaging and Control Profiles, correct?)
