> Forked from [cakebake/node-red-contrib-alexa-remote-cakebaked](https://github.com/cakebake/node-red-contrib-alexa-remote-cakebaked) which was forked from [586837r/node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2](https://github.com/586837r/node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2) to keep dependencies up to date.



This is a collection of Node-RED nodes for interacting with the Alexa API.

You can emulate routine behaviour, control and query your devices and much more!



All functionality is from [alexa-remote2](https://www.npmjs.com/package/alexa-remote2).

The goal is to expose all of its functionality in node-red nodes.



- [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md)

- [Examples](examples.md)



### **Migration**

In case you've already installed Node-RED nodes from [alexa-cakebaked](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-contrib-alexa-cakebaked) or [alexa-remote2](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2) the installation won't work due to conflicting names. You have 2 options:



#### **Command Line**

```

node-red admin remove node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2

node-red admin remove node-red-contrib-alexa-cakebaked

node-red admin install node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel

````



#### **Node-RED UI**

1. Export all of your flows to a file (Menu -> Export -> all flows -> Download) 

2. Delete all flows (Double Click on each Tab -> Delete)

3. Delete configuration node `alex-remote-account` node (Menu -> Configuration Nodes) and write down settings (Cookie path, refresh time)

4. Deploy empty state

5. Uninstall `node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2` or `node-red-contrib-alexa-cakebaked` (Menu -> Manage Palette -> Palette -> Nodes -> remove)

6. Search and install `node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel`

7. Reimport all flows from file (Menu -> Import -> Clipboard -> select a file to upload)

8. Restart Node-RED



### **Setup**



1. Drag an **Alexa Routine** node into your flow.

2. Create a new Account by pressing the edit button at the right side of the *Account* field.

3. Choose a **Service Host** and **Page** and **Language** depending on your location. For example:



   |     | Service Host        | Page          | Language |

   |-----|---------------------|---------------|----------|

   | USA | pitangui.amazon.com | amazon.com    | en-US    |

   | UK  | alexa.amazon.co.uk  | amazon.co.uk  | en-UK    |

   | GER | layla.amazon.de     | amazon.de     | de-DE    |

   | FR  | layla.amazon.de     | amazon.fr     | de-DE    |

   | ITA | alexa.amazon.it     | amazon.it     | it-IT    |

   | AUS | alexa.amazon.com.au | amazon.com.au | en-US    |

   | ES  | alexa.amazon.es     | amazon.es     | es-ES    |

   | BR  | alexa.amazon.com.br | amazon.com.br | pt-BR    |

   

4. Set **This IP** to the ip of your Node-RED server

5. Enter a **File Path** to save the authentication result so following authentications will be

automatic.

6. *Add* the new Account.

7. Deploy

8. Follow the url you see in the node status

9. Log in, wait until you see the node status **ready**

10. Write "Hello World!" in the *Alexa Routine* node text field.

11. Select a device in the *Alexa Routine* node devices field.



Now trigger the *Alexa Routine* Node with any message and your Alexa will say "Hello World!". (Hopefully!)
