amazon-alexa-lg-tv's Issues

Doesn't work

• Followed instructions, doesn't seem to work.

amazon-alexa-lg-tv submitter$ python alexa-tv.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "alexa-tv.py", line 49, in
u.init_socket()
File "/Users/submitter/amazon-alexa-lg-tv/fauxmo.py", line 300, in init_socket
dbg("Failed to initialize UPnP sockets:",e)
TypeError: dbg() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

Alexa Skill?

Do I need to create or enable a new Alexa skill for this to work?

Also are any other commands supported other than on/off?

Missing requirement in README, later error in fauxmo line 67

Platform: Windows 10
Python version 2.7.13

It should be noted in the readme that you should pip install requests as a requirement.

Also, when running in windows, I get the following error when trying to run the script:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "alexa-tv.py", line 47, in
p = fauxmo.poller()
File "C:\Scripts\amazon-alexa-lg-tv-master\fauxmo.py", line 67, in init
self.poller = select.poll()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'poll'

This is caused because poll is not properly implemented in the Windows or MacOS versions of python. The newest version of fauxmo fixes this problem.

No module named requests

C:\Users\Yoga\Desktop\TB>c:\Python27\python.exe alexa-tv.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "alexa-tv.py", line 13, in
import fauxmo
File "C:\Users\Yoga\Desktop\TB\fauxmo.py", line 31, in
import requests
ImportError: No module named requests

Critical exception

When I run alexa-tv.py
I get critical exception

Listening for UPnP broadcasts UPnP broadcast listener: new device registered FauxMo device 'tv' ready on 192.168.1.8:52000 DEBUG:root:Entering fauxmo polling loop CRITICAL:root:Critical exception: argument should be integer or bytes-like object, not 'str'

Alexa cannot find device

When I discover devices on my Alexa, the console says "DEBUG:root:Responding to search for tv" but it does not show up in the list of devices on the app and says "Sorry, I didn't find TV" when i try to use the command.

cannot find module lgtv

on running tv off i'm getting the following error:

module.js:471
throw err;

cannot import name wol

$ python alexa-tv.py

Can you please help me resolve this error message?

Swap out lg.js?

I've ported the functionality of lgjs into python - https://github.com/klattimer/LGWebOSRemote

It's a command line tool using websockets but should be suitable for your needs too. Would remove the dependency on node from your project.

Problem running alexa-tv.py

Everything else works fine, set my TV's mac address, however when I run the final command

C:\Projects\lgtv>python alexa-tv.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "alexa-tv.py", line 47, in
p = fauxmo.poller()
File "C:\Projects\lgtv\fauxmo.py", line 67, in init
self.poller = select.poll()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'poll'

I get that error. Not a python guy, so any help would be appreciated.

Addition to readme:

install wakeonlan:

sudo git clone https://github.com/remcohaszing/pywakeonlan
sudo cd pywakeonlan/
sudo python setup.py install
