Enable Alexa Support

Starting an issue to document Alexa use and installation:

I have created a custom Skill

Parameters:

  1. Choose a model to add to your skill: Custom
  2. Choose a method to host your skill's backend resources: Provision your own

Return to top and click Create Skill

Choose the template: Start from scratch

On the Console, put "plex to" as your invocation

In the Interaction Module -> JSON Editor paste the text in the following file:

alexa.txt

Goto Endpoints and add something to injest the JSON and reply. I am using a publically available Node-Red https endpoint.

Will paste my node flow as soon as it is working

Attached is the node-red flow that ingests the JSON from Amazon, then sends it to the webhook.

It also sends back a response to Amazon so your Alexa responds correctly.

You need to insert your Endpoint URL into the To Plex Assistant node.

can you perhaps explain it allittle bit more?

i added your flow and that seems to work. but what do you mean with the publically avaiaible node-red https endpoint?
