October 31, 20169 yr Just came accross this tutorial that seems a bit more detailed and clear than m0ngrel's guide. http://www.howtogeek.com/249336/how-to-control-your-kodi-media-center-with-an-amazon-echo/ Will give it a try tomorrow.

Yes, I forgot to mention that is the tutorial I used initially. It is older so you will run into problems in the second part when setting up the Amazon Skills (There are more slots you must add now). However, for setting up Heroku it is detailed and should work just fine. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
December 12, 20169 yr Any life left in this? I'd love to run this in a docker but not exactly my skillset.
December 12, 20169 yr From what I've seen it might providefor a better integration between Amazon Echo and Kodi if you setup and use OpenHAB. I have not done this but the premise is all your commands remain local and never go across the internet and back. You setup OpenHAB to control Kodi binding along with other device bindings and then install an Alexa Echo binding (the one that emulates a hue hub). Binding for Kodi: https://github.com/openhab/openhab/wiki/XBMC-Binding Initial starting point for OpenHAB Amazon Echo binding: https://community.openhab.org/t/new-binding-amazon-echo/7457 The link to the jars are wrong but the github repo is still the same so just navigate to the appropriate files for new releases. Open HAB website: http://www.openhab.org It requires bit of tinkering but it should be fun.
