[How to do instruction] MoodeAudio Alexa Integration - navatarx - 03-11-2022
Hello!
The only thing I found missing from this great project is an integration with Amazon Alexa SmartHub, so after trying some things, I managed to do it and wrote a detailed how-to here:
https://github.com/navatarx/moode-audio-automation
In general I created a "pseudo" Amazon hub using node-red automation emulating Philips Hub as a proxy for managing Moode Audio. I tried to create all these having security in mind, so everything is on your internal network, without having to open anything from the outside.
Node-red flows:

An example for the first function for http request is the following:
Code:
res={}
if (msg.on) {
res.url="http://moodeIP/command/?cmd=play"
} else {
res.url="http://moodeIP/command/?cmd=stop"
}
res.payload=""
return res;Note that Alexa identifies those devices as philips royal hue hub. Just say:
"Alexa, turn on Pi audio" "Alexa, turn on Pi Audio Volume"
or create a routine for "Alexa, next song" to "Turn on Pi Next Song"

This still works fine! I tried it with last moode 8 release + echo dot gen 3
Also I added 2 devices to play 2 different radios. Also the iptable needs to be adapted to the actual connection (in my case, eth0).
Inportant: the iptables entry should be limited to your Alexa device, otherwise webgui ist no more reachable.
You can find my additions on my fork: https://github.com/abrakadabra2k/moode-audio-automation/tree/main
Little hint: Renaming devices somehow does not work, they are not rediscovered correctly. Choose a good name from start or rename the device in the alexa app (I suspect Alexa finds devices based on some ID or something)
Also, "Pi" is not a good name for german users as it is pronounced not as "pie".
