Alexa text to speech Topic is solved

[sammyke007]

how did you do that ? im from NL as well - and have an international amazon account but i keep gettting failed MFA logins (mfa activated oathtool works etc)

In the script towards the beginning:

SET_AMAZON='amazon.co.uk'
SET_ALEXA='alexa.amazon.co.uk'

thanks - tried it but no luck... did you login on the DM machine prior with browser so it recognizes your instance? i still get the captcha and MFA etc.

Are you doing the MFA in the correct way? You need to enter the correct digits. Most people do the MFA part wrong.
I also use .co.uk with MFA as a Belgian user and never had any problems with Alexa text2speech since the last year.

See page 6 of this topic for my conversation with salopette. He was doing the same thing wrong. The usage of the correct quotes (double or single) is important!

i think i do - just sent you a PM as well - im using the correct 'string' - i think ...the long secret / combi of letters/numbers in groups of 4.

EDIT: registration on the amazon website also went fine - so that would be the issue ... ran the oathtool with options and " MFA KEY AMAZON "

Hi guys,

I'm struggling getting the MFA thingy to work.

As far as I understood, the MFA key has to be generated on the machine which is usingt the script, right? I've tried to work around thiws by using the google authenticator app on an iphone, scan the QR on the amazon webpage, click "can't read the QR" and put in the shown (long) key as MFA secret in the script. But creating the answer on another device is obviously not correct.

As I'm on a synology running domoticz in a docker container maybe someone could give me a hand on how to install the oauthtool there. Is it even possible? Or is there a workaround to create the key for the synology/domoticz/container-combination?

Help is very much appreciated.

Here is a full integration in Domoticz, as a Dzvent script, (using a bash wrapper to this excellent alexa_remote_control.sh script).

Enjoy playing sound, or speaking text, when any Domoticz's switch changes its state.

In beta 14040 I added the possibility to add a custom http/script action for each notification.

NotificationWithScript.jpg (61.32 KiB) Viewed 4017 times

Using the script from:
https://blog.loetzimmer.de/2021/09/alex ... cript.html

With this you can set a custom message in your own language that is being send to (for example) PushOver and let your english speaking alexa speak something complete different

Hope it can benefit someone here

Nice! Thanks for implementing this.

I'm using node red to make Alexa speech
There is a nice palette to install that provide everything you need, and more flexible and powerful than the script ( I mean, script is only for speech, node red do all the rest )

Any more info or some links? it's possible

[acaonweb]

yes sure,
obviously you need to run node red in a server somewhere, easy to do (click https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi)
The you need to install a new palette inside node red, click hamburger on the top right side, cli manage Palette, click on Install tab, find node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-v2, install it
See https://tech.scargill.net/node-red-cont ... cakebaked/ to configure it

To get pass the cookie issue, I ran the app once and Amazon sent me a OTP via text. I added that to the end of my password and tried again - and it worked.

On rebooting though, the cookies placed in /tmp disappeared, so I moved the tmp directory constant in the script to something that would persist between re-boots, and that was fine.

Hi,
Have you any issue with the cookies today? on my side, even with the method oathtool/mfa, the cookies are not downloading

Edit: it works using the cookie-cli, and just forget the email/pwd/mfa

I'm not a master of pi, but with a proper tutorial I could replicate this function for myself. I have a zigbee socket with consumption monitoring, and theoretically I would like Alexa to notify me when the washing machine has finished the washing program. is there a whole tutorial somewhere so I can replicate this function?

thx
