echo-fauxmo

For controlling local devices with the Amazon Echo. And for controlling iTach devices to send ir signals to devices. This replaces the Harmony Hub

Originally Based on echo

Quick Start

1. git clone https://github.com/thehappydinoa/echo-fauxmo
2. cd https://github.com/thehappydinoa/echo-fauxmo
3. pip install -r requirements.txt
4. python example-minimal.py
5. Tell Echo, "discover my devices"
6. Use Echo's "turn off device" and "device on" to see True/False script output

Working with iTach

1. Find the IR codes that you want to send with iLearn from Global Cache
2. Edit 'itach-device-handler.py' with the IPs and IR codes you want to use
3. python itach_device_handler.py

Working with XBox

1. To find the IP of your Xbox, go to Settings -> Network -> Advanced settings. To find your Live device ID, go to Settings -> System -> Console info. NOTE: It's probably a good idea to keep this information a secret!
2. Edit 'wol_device_handler.py' to include your XBox Live ID and IP

Optional

• I would suggest using Screen to make it headless

Install Screen by running

sudo apt-get install screen

TODO

• Make Web Server for if-then statements (like a more customizable version of IFTTT)
• Make Raspberry Pi OS with Web Server for instant deployment
