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?
Thanks for writing and your English is fine! Unfortunately I don't think Alexa can play files from the network, can it?
@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. https://www.amazon.com/Synology-Inc-Audio-Station/dp/B076PBX4LL Hope it helps
@joaomgcd Thanks for the link! i will take a closer look Edit: for this variant the Plex skill is necessary - in germany not available... @Spamaro Skills like Audio Station or Plex are not available in germany any idea how I still get this Skills ran?
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. https://forum.joaoapps.com/index.ph...ugh-google-assistant-autovoice-autoinput.362/ 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. https://www.joaoapps.com/autovoice-3-0-google-home-amazon-echo-ifttt-and-natural-language/ 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
