Troubleshooting

Issues when getting the cookie and tokens initially

If you still use the E-Mail or SMS based 2FA flow, then this might not work. Please update the 2FA/OTP method in the amazon settings to the current process.

If you open the Proxy URL from a mobile device where also the Alexa App is installed on, it might be that it does not work because Amazon might open the Alexa App. So please use a device or PC where the Alexa App is not installed

If you see a page that tells you that "alexa.amazon.xx is deprecated" and you should use the alexa app and with a QR code on it when you enter the Proxy URL" then this means that you call the proxy URL ith a different IP/Domainname then you entered in the "proxy own IP" settings, or you adjusted the IP shown in the Adapter configuration. The "proxy own IP" setting needs to match the IP/Domainname you use to call the proxy URL!

Push Connections do not connect

Sometimes it could happen that because of too many connection tries aAmazon blocks the push connection endpoint for a specific IP and "device".

If the Push connection is never established, then you can try to use the following:

• delete all cookies, formerRegistrationData and macDms from the settings
• locale the location of the alexa-cookie2 library in your npm tree
• check if there is a file like .../alexa-cookie2/lib/formerDataStore.json - if existing please delete them
• get new cookie via proxy

Then it should work again

Partly based on Amazon Alexa Remote Control (PLAIN shell) and alexa-remote-control and OpenHab-Addon Thank you for that work.

alexa-remote's Issues

Error after session active > 24 hours

Hello, Alexa-remote won't correctly process speak functions after its been running for > 24 hours. Here are the relevant log entries:

Alexa-Remote: No authentication check needed (time elapsed 33888)
Alexa-Remote: Sending Request with {"host":"pitangui.amazon.com","path":"/api/behaviors/preview","method":"POST","timeout":10000,"headers":{}} and data={"behaviorId":"PREVIEW","sequenceJson":"{"@type":"com.amazon.alexa.behaviors.model.Sequence","startNode":{"@type":"com.amazon.alexa.behaviors.model.OpaquePayloadOperationNode","operationPayload":{"deviceType":"AKNO1N0KSFN8L","deviceSerialNumber":"G0B0H506617700D3","locale":"de-DE","customerId":"AWMF3SVYOF8RS","textToSpeak":"hello"},"type":"Alexa.Speak"}}","status":"ENABLED"}
Alexa-Remote: Response: No body

at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:80:21)

Alexa-Remote always returns "Response: No body" and then Alexa speaks the text, but it appears that the status code is something other than 200 when the problem starts occurring. Here's how the logs look when the command is successful:
Alexa-Remote: No authentication check needed (time elapsed 24222)
Alexa-Remote: Sending Request with {"host":"pitangui.amazon.com","path":"/api/behaviors/preview","method":"POST","timeout":10000,"headers":{}} and data={"behaviorId":"PREVIEW","sequenceJson":"{"@type":"com.amazon.alexa.behaviors.model.Sequence","startNode":{"@type":"com.amazon.alexa.behaviors.model.OpaquePayloadOperationNode","operationPayload":{"deviceType":"AKNO1N0KSFN8L","deviceSerialNumber":"G0B0H506617700D3","locale":"de-DE","customerId":"AWMF3SVYOF8RS","textToSpeak":"hello"},"type":"Alexa.Speak"}}","status":"ENABLED"}
Alexa-Remote: Response: No body

As you can see, they appear to be identical except the successful attempt is receiving a status code that begins with "2".

how to setup

Hello,

can you at least provide documentation regarding how to get the login credentials?

Promise-ing the lib

As enhancement, That would be nice to promise-ing the commands to alexa, that would be easier for command chaining ;-)

how to send text to my Alexa device?

Hi ,
I want to send text command my physical Alexa device.
But I take error that is "no body".

Help me anyone this issue?

let serialOrName="G2A0WK04..........";
let sequenceType=null;
let commands=[{"command":"speak","value":"hello"}];
alexa.sendMultiSequenceCommand(serialOrName, commands, sequenceType, function(err, res) {
if (!err && res) {
console.log ("alexa.sendMultiSequenceCommand is success");
}
});

Decide what is good to initialize in library and what shoukd not (prepare function)

Currently partly too many things

Question: Sending a basic command

How do i send a basic command to the echo device say asking whats the weather ?
I have completed the full process of setup and now the example code which you have shared is doing this

Alexa-Remote WS-MQTT: Send Ping
Alexa-Remote WS-MQTT: Received Pong

Also, when i press a button on the echo, i see some output as well. So definitely everything is connected.

Please help, thanks in advance.

Provide TypeScript type definitions

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's painful to use pure JavaScript modules, like alexa-remote2, in a TypeScript project.

Describe the solution you'd like
The most thorough solution would be to rewrite this package in TypeScript, but I would find it sufficient for the package to include a set of TypeScript type definitions.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The only real alternative is for each TypeScript project that depends on alexa-remote2 to write their own type definitions.

Muted

Hello,

Sorry for my bad English.

The Mute command does not appear to exist.

While the value is well up in the PUSH_VOLUME_CHANGE

Is it possible to add it?

The goal is to take into account the mutated for an announcement or to "make speak" to restore it after the announcement.

Action required: Greenkeeper could not be activated 🚨

🚨 You need to enable Continuous Integration on all branches of this repository. 🚨

To enable Greenkeeper, you need to make sure that a commit status is reported on all branches. This is required by Greenkeeper because it uses your CI build statuses to figure out when to notify you about breaking changes.

Since we didn’t receive a CI status on the greenkeeper/initial branch, it’s possible that you don’t have CI set up yet. We recommend using Travis CI, but Greenkeeper will work with every other CI service as well.

If you have already set up a CI for this repository, you might need to check how it’s configured. Make sure it is set to run on all new branches. If you don’t want it to run on absolutely every branch, you can whitelist branches starting with greenkeeper/.

Once you have installed and configured CI on this repository correctly, you’ll need to re-trigger Greenkeeper’s initial pull request. To do this, please delete the greenkeeper/initial branch in this repository, and then remove and re-add this repository to the Greenkeeper App’s white list on Github. You'll find this list on your repo or organization’s settings page, under Installed GitHub Apps.

[Feature Request] Add endpoints for settings APIs

Thank you for this helpful repository. I was wondering if you have any plans to add the endpoints for various settings.

For example couple of them which might be useful are:

1. History API: Using this we can fetch the past statements which are said to alexa
2. Language: This can be used to change the language

Check "getList" methods (Tasks, Shopping), setList and connected functions

Check and fix all "Notification" methods (Reminder/Alarm) inl. setReminder

Hey Apollon77,

Would you be able to weigh in?

cookie refresh, mqtt and other....

Hi,

Found this archive while looking for a cookie refresh solution while sending commands to alexa. Will your code, once it has a working cookie, auto refresh it automatically - forever?

When I have the example program configured with useWsMqtt=true, I get the following log messages which look like something is wrong.... (no messages if false) [In ether case I can send commands to Alexa with a modified example.js program]

Alexa-Remote WS-MQTT: Initialization Msg 1 sent
Alexa-Remote WS-MQTT: Initialization Msg 2+3 sent
Alexa-Remote WS-MQTT: Initialization not done within 30s

[repeat]

lastly, cookieRefreshInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 1000 is in the example code AND in the source code for the library. Should this not be 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000? (7 days in milliseconds)...

Thanks,
-Stan

"Error while checking Authentication: Error: no JSON"

Hello all,

anybody facing issues with login initialisation? Till yesterday everything was working fine but suddenly i had to reinitialise my account. With cookies it was not working so i tried the other 2 options but i'm having same issues.

I think amazon has changed something in logging in or is it just me having problems?

Thanks in advance, Michael

Voice recognition

Hello,

is it possible to get the detected voice with the Alexa return ? (if available).
