Re: HAL, Amazon Echo/Dot, SMS, and TV Control
I have both the ECHO and the DOT. My wife loves it for music etc...... I have no desire to make this my HA device for my house.....I would however, love to use the voice recognition as a house wide MIC to HAL for the family. The thought of dropping MICs and mixers, etc...... is not attractive, but a VOIP feed direct to HAL for control of systems and feedback from HAL would be awesome.
I know this is simplistic and tougher to implement then I am depicting. I'm patient and reading and seeing what direction this all will go. Cheers, dave |

Re: HAL, Amazon Echo/Dot, SMS, and TV Control
Please find attached a first draft of how to get started with the HA-Bridge from BWS to use your Amazon Echo or Dot... Let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Regards, Tim

Re: HAL, Amazon Echo/Dot, SMS, and TV Control
Tim,
I'm running HA-bridge 3.2.2 right on the same my Win 7 PC just like your helpful PDF document shows. I'm having a little trouble with the DIM feature as I'm not sure what dropdown to use in the ha -bridge web GUI. None of them seem to work right, and I'm monitoring the x-10 calls in HAL Monitor. I see the repeated calls but no lights dim. If I use my RF remote to dim I see a single "EDI" call to that lamp, and it dims. Any ideas? Thanks, Caz

Re: HAL, Amazon Echo/Dot, SMS, and TV Control
Let me try and add an X10 lamp module to a system and configure in the bridge software. I'll get back to you

Re: HAL, Amazon Echo/Dot, SMS, and TV Control
Tim, I'm trying to wrap my head around the HA-Bridge, but not sure what it can do for me since the Alexa app can already see my insteon devices. I assume this is for X-10?
Also, I'm looking at writing code to open HAL more for myself: Alexa, start HAL....HAL responds, "How may I help you?" but through the Echo. The conversation could then take place as if I were talking to HAL with HAL using the audio output of the Echo as a bluetooth speaker. SO, in essence, I would only have to translate what I say from my skill to HAL. |
