Multiple AutoApps Play my own music with Alexa by Synology Nas

Hello everybody!
At first sorry - my english ist not the best, I'm from germany.

I have the following suggestion / projekt-idea:
I would like to say: "alexa, play my own music" - then alexa should play my own music from my Synology NAS

- maybe this is to realize with: IFTTT, Tasker and Tasker-Plugins? but i don't know how to do this?!

Here are some useful information about my devices & co:
My smartphone is a Huawei Mate 20 Pro (Android 9) using it with apps like: Tasker & Plugins (AutoRemote, Notification Listener, Unified Remote, Auto Hue) and IFTTT.

My NAS is a Synology DS 415+ - on this is a shared folder where the music is stored / DSM package: Audio Station / on my phone usable over DS audio app.

smart speaker: Alexa (Echo Show ,Echo, Echo Dot - 2. Generation)

how can I get the whole thing up and running?

 

@joaomgcd

as far as i know officially alexa can only play music from services like Spotify and Amazon Music.

through other projects I have the following example:

IFTTT Applet: If you say " Alexa xx xx xx" (Alexa trigger + Say a pacific phrase), then make a web request / works with Webhooks)
- at my projekt i say " Alexa trigger PC an" (translatet Computer on) - interaction with IFTTT Webhooks, Autoremote, Tasker and WOL - turns on my computer.

I was hoping this could be solved similarly???

IFTTT: the IF part would also be Alexa say a pacific phrase / but I do not know what to set as the THEN part?

via the DS Audio App I can play the music from the network on my smartphone, maybe i would have to start this via Tasker and/ or a Plugin?

also i have to set Playing the music via Alexa...

I don't know how to realize that, does somebody has any idea?

 

Hi, Alexia is now compatible with Audio Station from Synology Nas.

Thanks for the link! i will take a closer look

Edit: for this variant the Plex skill is necessary - in germany not available...

@Spamaro

Hi @sushiko,

Sorry, i don't know.

But if it could help you, i have made tasker tasks to allow DS Audio vocal command with google assistant, but i presume it could work with Alexia too.

I am not a great programmer, that tasks works for my use but i presume it could be more optimised.

I plan to add radio management and audio output choice with voice.

Hope it helps

 

@Spamaro

Thank you! Looks very interesting... maybe i can do that with alexa too i will try and then report...

I am also not a great programmer... i wish i was i realize my ideas or projects also with apps like: Tasker + Plugins, IFTTT & Co...

 

Hi,
There is tutorial for Alexa & Autovoice here, so i presume it will be possible to use my tasks.

If you have success launching task with autovoice and Alexa, then i could help you to use my project if you need. I think i will upload an update too this week end, i have fixed some issues.

 

Hi Sushiko,
How are you ?
Did you try my tasks ? is it working on your phone ?
I am curious because i see lot of downloads but no comment, maybe because no one have success trying them...
Have a good day
