Integrate Amazon Echo with Openhab2 using Official Alexa Skill for Home Automation - Baba Awesam

In this video, I show how to integrate Amazon Echo with Openhab2 Home Automation so as to control your home appliances with hands free voice. This method utilizes the official Alexa Skill of Openhab2.

Thanks for the video! I've been trying to get my openhab to work with the hue emulation for a week now and I've had no luck. Hopefully this method will work!

Hey samir great work. I am using AlexaPi on the same raspberrypi on which OH2 is installed. Items discovery is not working in alexa. Can you help me in it

[@SamirSogay]

I have not tried Alexapi, so I can't comment.

If I configure all of my things/items in paperUI I don't have an .items file (that I can find - looked in /etc/openhab2/items). Do I still have to redefine all of these to get this to work? -Thanks

I am not sure about this. You can probably get your answer from the Openhab community.
