It would be great if this could be updated to use Python3.

Fauxmo has been updated now to use Python 3.4 and 3.5:

I integrated with broadlink-python, at first all worked fine and now something went wrong.
the code:

import fauxmo
import logging
import time
import broadlink
import time
import sys

from debounce_handler import debounce_handler

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

class device_handler(debounce_handler):
    """Publishes the on/off state requested,
       and the IP address of the Echo making the request.
    """
    TRIGGERS = {"device": 52000}

    def act(self, client_address, state, name):
		if state is True:
			device = broadlink.rm(host=("192.168.1.10",80), mac=bytearray.fromhex("b4430dc3de82"))
			device.auth()
			device.host

			device.send_data(codeData.decode('hex'))

		else:

			device.auth()

			device.send_data(codeData.decode('hex'))
			return True

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Startup the fauxmo server
    fauxmo.DEBUG = True
    p = fauxmo.poller()
    u = fauxmo.upnp_broadcast_responder()
    u.init_socket()
    p.add(u)

I would like to make a if gate but can't, I have made a if gate for if status == true,but I get a error no value set for status. I see this, is there a way to use the example -minimal.py script and have a value for true, I am very new tp monty the python and would like to use this as a switch for novnc and a couple of other programs

I initially going to use 1 similar with kodi, but that doesn't work either.
So i backed up to this code and triedc it out, even on a different rpi0, but still no luck.

I found a link to use tcpdump and monitor what was happening,, and I think i see the discover, when i tell Alexa to discover, but nothing else happens, and Alexa does not find it.

When I try to run the example-mqtt.py file, I get an error (Fedora 25, 64-bit).

$ python example-mqtt.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "example-mqtt.py", line 41, in <module>
    client.connect(MQTT_HOST, MQTT_PORT, 60)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 760, in connect
    return self.reconnect()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 887, in reconnect
    sock = socket.create_connection((self._host, self._port), source_address=(self._bind
_address, 0))                                                                          
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/socket.py", line 557, in create_connection
    for res in getaddrinfo(host, port, 0, SOCK_STREAM):
socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known

example-minimal.py works as expected.

Hi
I tried the minimal example and only the OFF command works. I think another commenter on instructable found the same issue. Is this an easy fix?

thanks

I've tried adding more than 11 devices, using ports above and below 52000-52010 and this seems to totally break the echo device discovery.... it never requests the setup.xml for the devices on ports outside of 52000-52010, and I think it also prevents it from discovering the devices on the ports in range too (though they are discovered if the out of range device is deleted).

I don't think it's an issue w/ this library, but it's something to be aware of (and i'd love some confirmation that others are seeing this limitation).

Alexa software implements a round-robin system by which requests, although heard by a specific Echo device, are not necessarily carried out by that device. I have 1 full-size Echo and 4 Echo Dots, and if I make the request to the bedroom Dot for example, it was carried out by the IP address of the full-size Echo in the Living Room. This continued for a few minutes until requests were then being carried out by the Dot in the Family Room. All of these requests were done from the Dot in the bedroom.

This round-robbin feature has been documented in many articles, which makes it impossible to reliably assign a device called "light" and have an Echo device use the specific room you are in to turn on the light in that room, because the Alexa software will start with one Echo device to carry out all requests, no matter which Echo initiated the request, and it will use that Echo for a period of time, then choose the next one in the list for a period of time and so on until it gets back to the first device.

The ability to speak individually to each Echo is being referenced in your example files as a feature when this is not the case, especially in the mqtt example, where you are attempting to specifically identify the requesting device to post to a specific mqtt topic, which will not give you the results you are expecting.

I have successfully enhanced this script to allow WOL for multiple of my home devices.
I struggle to find the code section in fauxmo.py where the Device state is handled.

Ideally I would like to implement a ping function (if ping to an IP is successfull, show device as ON).
Second best would be a code change to show the device as always OFF.

Could anyone nudge me in either direction?

Hi Todd,
Gret job, I followed this echo project from yesterday and now I can able to give the command to my echo device but due to less documentation I am unable to change more variable to get it worked for my telnet controlled devices, it will very helpful for any new person to kickstart with your project.
I have a lot of queries like,

1. How to add more devices to this project.
2. I dedent find any other command then ON/OFF, is it possible to add other commands to work with like Deem the light to 20%, change the tv channel, set the temperature.
3. Can I get speech to text data in the response?
   Thank you,
