[vale whale]

@dawn sluice i'm try using service "reload" but not working

[dawn sluice]

data should be somthing like this:
{"text":"I noticed the TV was turned on, what would you like to play, sun next, hotstart or YouTube?","event_id":"actionable_notification_tv","alexa_device":"media_player._echo_flex"}

[dawn sluice]

change alexa device to your echo

[dawn sluice]

share screenshot of the call service

[dawn sluice]

what is that script.reload?

[vale whale]

i don't know i found inside

[dawn sluice]

you have to run call service node
and select the scipt you added before

[vale whale]

i don't have activate_alexa_actionable_notification

[dawn sluice]

try to reload nodered or restart home assistant

[dawn sluice]

try to see if you have other service

how are you running nodered? addon in home assistant?

[vale whale]

yes

[vale whale]

reboot HA but i don't have activate_alexa_actionable_notification

[dawn sluice]

try to run that script from home assistant developer tools > call service and check if it works

[vale whale]

how is it possible to do it?

[dawn sluice]

does it call service successfully ?

[vale whale]

Ok I think is ok now

now what should I write in the JSON?

[dawn sluice]

Are yu able you call service from developer tool ? Or does it show any error

[dawn sluice]

{"text":"I noticed the TV was turned on, what would you like to play, sun next, hotstart or YouTube?","event_id":"actionable_notification_tv","alexa_device":"media_player._echo_flex"}

Replace all with your needs and device

[vale whale]

Ok work but Alexa response is null

[vale whale]

Amy ideas?

[dawn sluice]

it does not work the way you wanted

[dawn sluice]

add this in data

[vale whale]

I'm try

[dawn sluice]

and run that call service and check if alexa talks back and asks you

if this part works ..we can move on to the next step

[vale whale]

same thing, Alexa answers me and waits but on the alexaresponse tag it remains null

[dawn sluice]

does alexa answers you with the text you added in data ?

[dawn sluice]

share me the screenshot of service node

[dawn sluice]

yu need to create like this

[vale whale]

but I need an on device Activity that is if I say a voice command to alexa

[dawn sluice]

you have to listen to event to get the feedback from you and do the further automation or script

[vale whale]

yes, what I meant is that in your way I can't activate my automation with my voice or am I wrong?

[dawn sluice]

you can automate

remove these and add the automation

[vale whale]

Ok

[dawn sluice]

in this

[vale whale]

where do i put them?

[dawn sluice]

?

[vale whale]

How do I connect them to each other?

[dawn sluice]

you don't have to connect...it will work listening from the events

[vale whale]

Ok I'm try

[dawn sluice]

you can automate from here

[vale whale]

alexa asks me the question i tell her yes and she just says okay without going on the speak routine

is working, than you ❤️❤️ goodnight you are the best

[dawn sluice]

good night ....as we learn we share ❤️

[vale whale]

good morning! do you by any chance know how not to make Alexa say okay after answering?

[dawn sluice]

You cant do for default reply like 'yes' 'no'

[vale whale]

ok

when i answer alexa's question she asks me the same question again

ok, now it seems to work

[vale whale]

@dawn sluice Hi! sorry, why when i tell alexa a two digit number this doesn't work?

only works with single-digit numbers

[dawn sluice]

you call it as seven four or seventy four?

[vale whale]

seventy four

[vale whale]

I don't understand why it doesn't work

[dawn sluice]

try to set debug for the alexa event node and see what does it responds

in this node add debug as msg.payload.event.event_id
#1019369505052438611 message

like this

when ever you say something , this way you can check what alexa actually listened

[vale whale]

when i responde answer "what number was it?" (blue circle) she says "I'm sorry I can't use specific data in this case try with a relative date for example"

[dawn sluice]

i really dont understand what are yu tring to do

but this way you can debug anything

#1019369505052438611 message

[vale whale]

I'm doing a test for color blind people, I put a number on the screen and they have to tell what number they see, only that when they say the two-digit numbers alexa tells me "I'm sorry I can't use specific data in this case try with a relative date for example"

[dawn sluice]

try to run the alexa script and try saying anything and check the debug on what alexa takes and share me the screenshot

[vale whale]

summary: "fifteen"
alexaResponse: "Sorry, I can't use specific dates in this case, try a relative date, for example ... in 5 hours"

[dawn sluice]

add this in debug msg.payload.event.event_id

[vale whale]

if instead I spell the words for example "seven four" then it works but if I say seventy four it doesn't work

[dawn sluice]

try saying some other work and share me the debug output to make sure it works

actually change it to msg.payload.event.event_response

these are my responses, when i say seventy four and seven four

i want you to check like this and if it does not work i will help you fix it

[vale whale]

I noticed that in English it works but in Italian my language doesn't work

Any ideas to set number in my language?

[vale whale]

@dawn sluice

[dawn sluice]

May be its not supported by amazon alexa itself or may be developer has to work on it

[vale whale]

Shit

[vale whale]

Sorry if I disturb you, do you by any chance know how to automatically change "alexa_device" without writing it manually?
