一个易于使用的NodeRED节点，用于将Alexa功能添加.zip

# node-red-contrib-alexa-local ## !!!THIS NODE IS NO LONGER WORKING!!! **TL;DR;** Please replace this node with [node-red-contrib-amazon-echo](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-amazon-echo) **Detailed explainations:** • This nodes is no longer working with any Alexa devices after recent Alexa firmware (auto) updates. • The reason is discovery procedure needs to be hosted on port 80 of your NodeRed. • Newer generation of Alexa devices are not working with my node for the same reason. • I recommend switching over to this node node-red-contrib-amazon-echo. It is basically a clone of my node, with a separate Node for discovery, running on port 80 by default. **VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:** • You probably need to restart the system after replacing my nodes to clear them from the system. • You need to make sure your port 80 is free & allowed to be used by NodeRED. You can either: • Run NodeRED as root user, which allow you to open any port on the system. OR • Use iptables to redirect xxxxx port to 80. Instructions are available here. This hassle is exactly why I have designed my node to run on random ports, pretty newbie-proof for most users & did not change the implementation for newer generation of Alexa devices. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . # node-red-contrib-alexa-local  This is a dead-simple node for adding Alexa capability to your NodeRED flow. **NO Alexa Skills required.** **NO account linking required.** **NO complicated parameters, it just works.** Developed by the super cool folks at [Originally US](http://originally.us) - a mobile app development company from Singapore ## Installation Install directly from your NodeRED's Setting Pallete or Change your working directory to your node red installation. Usually it's in ~/.node-red. $ npm install node-red-contrib-alexa-local ## How to use * Add this node to your flow * Give it a unique **Device Name** * Ask "Alexa, discover devices" * That's it!  ## Known issues * Doesn't support Echo Gen 2 & Echo Plus local devices discovery yet * Echo Show, Echo Spot, Sonos One do not have the capability to discovery devices locally ## FAQ **Does it support German or other languages?** Yes! As long as Alexa supports that language. **Does it support door lock/curtain/AV/TV or other types of devices?** Unfortunately no. In order to keep this node so simple to use, it was designed to emulate a Philips Hue bridge & device within local network. Amazon Echo is hardcoded to support only on/off/dimming command via this route. Any other type of support has to go through the Alexa Skills route (cloud-based). There is another node does just that [node-red-contrib-alexa-home-skill](https://github.com/hardillb/node-red-contrib-alexa-home-skill) **Example dimming commands** *  Alexa, set Kitchen Light to 40% *  Alexa, set Aircon temperature to 30 *  Alexa, increase Kitchen Light *  Alexa, lower Kitchen Light by 15% **Do I need to enable any Alexa Skils?** No. Nah. Non. Nein. Never. **Is this free forever?** Yes. We won't charge you anything.
