Amazon Echo (Alexa) integration with Kodi

Recommended Posts

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.

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).

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.

It requires bit of tinkering but it should be fun.

Don't ask me, I merely provided knowledge to everyone so they could try it.
