Alexa Set The Mood

This is a side project to set the mood using my Alexa.

Setting up your Lambda Function

Log into the AWS management Console. Create an account if you need to.
From the list of services, select Lambda
Set your region to US East (N. Virginia)
Choose Create a Lambda Function
In the search filter box, type Alexa
Select blueprint alexa-skills-kit-color-expert-python
Name your function. I call mine logWeight
Under Lambda function handler and role, select Create a custom role.
When the IAM role management console opens, choose Allow to go back to the previous Lambda console.
The role should read lambda_basic_execution.
In your IAM roles attach the AWSLambdaFullAccess policy to your role.
Add environment variables. These give you access to Spotify. Note that the Alexa application id and the Alexa test application id are filtered.

Sign into the Amazon Developer Portal.
Select Alexa
Under Alexa Skills Kit, choose Get Started
Choose Add a New Skill
Name your skill. It doesn’t really matter what it is.
Create an invocation name. I set it to "set the mood" Note that there are limits to how you can invoke this skill. For example, you cannot (unfortunately) say “Alexa, I weigh 165 pounds”.
Choose Next
In the Intent Schema box, paste the following JSON code

{
  "intents": [
    {
      "intent": "SetTheMood"
    },
    {
      "intent": "AMAZON.HelpIntent"
    }
  ]
}

Select the Endpoint AWS Lambda ARN then paste your ARN code from step 1-14. Select North America as your region, and for Account Linking select No, then choose Next.

AWS Lambda requires all python packages to be at the root file level.
While within the project directory you can call ./install.sh to install all of the requirements.
Zip up all of the files by running zip -r -X lambdaD.zip .
Then upload the zipfile to your lambda function
