Using Amazon Alexa device as LMS player

[castalla]

Hello all,

I was thinking along the same line and the only satisfactory solution I could come up with, was to develop a skill, that controls the Echo device playing the music from the LMS. Unfortunately as stated above, Apps like iPeng won't work, but I was thinking along a good skill to do the trick.

This skill is now ready for testing. You can find more information on how to set it up and on the voice commands at

https://www.roomskills.com/en/help/mymusic_echo/

or in German at

https://www.roomskills.com/de/hilfe/mymusic_echo/

If you want to test it, register at

https://www.roomskills.com/apps/

You will get a 4 week premium package immediately. If you send me an email to

support@computeq.co

and let me know, that you want to test the service, I will setup your account with 6 month premium and will add you to the list of testers, so you get access to the Alexa skill. Please send me feedback or a short info about your experiences also to

support@computeq.co

Have fun

Ingo

Oh-oh ... requires opening ports on your router! Not for me, thanks.

Thank you for the answer,

I have one question - it requires opening one port and that only for triggering the plugin on the music server to fetch a new command from the Roomskills server using a secure protocol.

Mmh, I would be interested to understand where you see the problem?

Regards

Ingo

Much too complicated to setup and configure (compared to MyMedia skill)

While on the topic...

Are there plugins to control LMS using OSC?

OSC http://opensoundcontrol.org/
But discussions would better fit in a different thread - since this is about using Amazon Alexa devices as LMS players.

Such as the newly created thread at https://forums.slimdevices.com/showt...Sound-Control)

Back on-topic, the certified MediaServer skill now supports streaming audio to Echo devices natively.
