Hello, I am getting the following errors when I deploy the server:

1. "Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/sysadmin/.node-red/server.key'"

2. "get_access_token evn: No codes"

3. "send_add_or_update_report get_access_token err "No codes""

Do you know what could be causing these issues? I did not install a local oauth server but used this guide:

https://coderedirect.com/questions/512574/whats-an-easy-way-to-setup-oauth-for-an-amazon-alexa-connected-home-skill

OK, so I have the devices and now I am authenticated. Now my biggest thing that I am attempting to do is to communicate with the virtual device.

Here is what i am wanting to do. I want to create a custom command that will get the voltage of a device from Node Red

1. Say "Alexa, get the voltage of the battery"
2. This information is sent to the lambda server
3. Lambda server processes the command and sends something to the Node red server virtual device called battery (most likely a json object with what is being asked but can be anything)
4. Through a series of nodes, node red grabs the voltage reading and sends it back to the lambda server.
5. Lambda server processes the data and sends it back to the Alexa service
6. Alexa says "The voltage of the battery is 12 V"

I am getting hung up on steps 3 and 5. How do I send data (be it json object or request or something else) from the Lambda server to the Virtual device? Is there some sort of API that I can use? Or do I need to send a HTTPS request?

I am using a virtual device node as a BLIND to set the Alexa device volume as a percentage in combination with node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2 node.

Here is the output of the Virtual Device node
percentage: 12
source: "alexa"
mode: "Position.Down"
directive: "SetRangeValue"
name: "hautparleur"
type: "BLINDS"

The problem is that the Virtual Device node is not providing the device name I am speaking to. Is there a way to get it?

I got this error after trying to enable the skill:

We were unable to link Smart Home at this time.

Just opening up a new one because the old one was closed.

I am not getting the granted success. I am getting the access and refresh tokens though

Hi there,
I'm back :)
I updated to version 0.0.28
I have the problem with the light controller with brightness and powerstate
when I turn on the lamp then give the brightness command everything works ...
but when the lamp is off and i directly give the command set lamp to xx brightness, on Nodered I get the brightness value but with powerstate off but in the alexa app the power button is changed to on

hello many thanks for the great job works very well
except for the contact sensor. we generated and appears in the alexa app but does not work alex app shows the message "a problem has occurred"
sorry for my bad english, i use google to translate

Hi. I have the PRO subscription. Lately, when I add a node, it shows up with a red triangle (see below). I have tried updating the Amazon account but no help. Originally, I think it was due to duplicate names but that has been eliminated. Thanks.

Hello
As I am testing my back end and learning some new things, I deleted the device from my Alexa profile.

To add it back in, do I need to ask Alexa to "Discover new devices?" I did that and it was unable to find the node red device

Hello,
Very good tutorial. Although there are some parts that need to be updated since Amazon changed a few things.

One quick question, there is no guide or pre-req stating that you need an authentication server for the Oauth or how to setup the directories on the Node red installation.

Would you be able to tell me how to set these up?

For the authenticating, I have been using this guide:
https://coderedirect.com/questions/512574/whats-an-easy-way-to-setup-oauth-for-an-amazon-alexa-connected-home-skill

But, if I use this method, there is an issue with the Lambda function script where the BASE_URL does not point to the node red. Is there a way to make the script compatible with the above link and without having the authentication server on the node red installation (Just fyi, I am running this on the Pi)

When I go to perform the LWA with my account, I get this error:

Unauthorized client_secret

Now, I triple checked the values that I was placing in. I checked to make sure that I placed in the correct "Your Client ID" and "Your Secret" values in the correct boxes in the config and in the endpoint. But when I do the LWA, the result in unable to link Smart Home

Do you know what might also be causing this error?
