Notify me alexa integration HC3

[Dennis Hanstede 0]

Hello everyone,

 

Recently i bought the home center 3. Now I would like to send a notification via a lua action and notify me to my echo dot 3.

Can someone explain to me how to do this? your help is greatly appreciated!

 

Best regards,

Dennis

if you would like an announcement through the echo dot then you would need to get a 3rd party bridge device eg Skaro Automation Bridge.

It cannot do it natively.

 

If you are wanting to control the HC3 using echo then just add the skill from amazon and it will work.

HC3 can work with https isn't it?
Sure that someone can convert below php script (running on my raspberry) to lua on HC3.
This will send a message, set in variable, to the 'notify me' skill which you need to install.

In case you want announcement (with notify me, you only get alert on Alexa after which you need to give command to listen to the notification), where Alexa is talking without a speech command, that's a whole other story.

Thanks for your reply!

 

I have a solution that works for me. I have made a quick app, type: binary switch. 

 

this is the code i used:

 

-----------------------------

function QuickApp:turnOn()

 

  local http = net.HTTPClient()

    local address = "https://api.notifymyecho.com/v1/NotifyMe?notification=Hello%20world&accessCode=<ACCCES_CODE>"

    http:request(address, {

        options={

            headers = {['Accept'] = "application/json", ['Connection']='keep-alive',['Content-Type']='application/json' },

            method = 'GET',

            timeout = 3000 

         

        },

        success = function(response)

            data = json.decode(response.data)

            if data.status == "Success" then

               self:trace("Success")

            end

        end,

        error = function(error)

            self:debug('error: ' .. json.encode(error))

        end

    }) 

end

 

function QuickApp:turnOff()

    self:debug("binary switch turned off")

    self:updateProperty("value", false)    

end

 

function QuickApp:onInit()

    self:debug("onInit")

end

--------------------------------------------

 

After this is made a block scene: for example if the light turned on then this binary switch turned on. Now when the light switch turned on, alex got a notification "Hello Word" .

 

It works for me, but maybe some people know better solutions when you use a quick app?

Hi,you have only to replace <ACCESS_CODE> to you’re personal access code you get when you installed notify me on you’re amazon dot echo.

 

And you have to replace hello%20world to you’re own notification message.

I'm sorry, what access code would this be? is not the login and password to access the Alexa APP? do i need to install something? thankful

When you install the skill “notify me” on you’re amazon echo, you get the access code by mail. You have to paste that code in <ACCESS_CODE>.

On my echo show, it shows as a toast msg. By any chance, do you know how alexa could speak this instead of the visual msg ?
