@mwittig Seriously?

@michbeck100 Absolutely!

@mwittig pervert Chinese stuff

That’s crazy!

al little too much in my oppinion…but japanese people…

Can’t wait to to hear the first news about a guy marrying his gatebox

@mwittig said in Amazon Echo / Alexa:

Even cooler than Echo … checkout the Gatebox trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkcKaNqfykg

Really?? a Manga-coffee-machine?

maybe Alexa 2.0… we will see …

Microsoft needs to supply a cortana charcter for it or…

Or red queen from Resident Evil if you like it a bit more scary

I think an assistant like this would make most wives some kind of jealous…

Where something like this could really help is elderly people.

agree, and it’s also way too expensive to become a huge success. I like the idea with transparent projection screen, though.

Haha I have just ordered a second echo dot with a little trick

Some days ago I got the invitation. Now I marked My echo dot as broken and got a replacement

Kazalla

@n3ro Don’t you have to return the first one?

@michbeck100 if I don’t send it back after 30 days I have to pay 59 euro. That’s okay for me

I could do the same with the normal echo. Anyone wants it?

this is a japanese device i guess, right? the device is some kind of toy for a lonely boy, sad story …
as he said, now someones home for me
well, the japanese even have other apps or programs for virtual girls and “wifes”, also dolls that look like ave mimic and voice as humans/girls have. that’s real weird and strange imho

but this technology is kind of interesting. maybe in some years we will have similar devices but with a more serious “gui”, who knows. i would go for it then

EDIT : OMG @mwittig is right - far too expensive at the moment … 2.440 euro, ok, this nice little holographic girlie just died in my mind

After the new update nothing is working! I reinstalled ECHO and I get a lot of error messages

Hi,

I have a Problem with the new Echo discovering devices. It says, “no devices found”.

This is my Debug log:

19:46:33.100 [pimatic] info: Loading plugin: “pimatic-echo” (0.3.1)
19:46:33.807 [pimatic-cron] info: the time is: Thu Nov 02 2017 19:46:33 GMT+0100 (CET)

19:46:35.405 [pimatic-echo] info: started hue emulator on port 9876

“lampe_stollenwand_rechts” is a ShellSwitch - which seems to be not supported - but at least the dummySwitch should be recognized.

From my point of view strange is “19:46:34.110 [pimatic-echo] debug: Using ip address: null”

Can someone give me a hint how to proceed or what I m missing?

@lue49 See the Details of the Plugin, in the last updates there some changes…

“Please make sure that pimatic-echo is placed at the top of the plugins configuration. This helps avoiding misleading error messages, that the echo configuration is unsupported and also enables the configuration via web ui.”

https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-echo/

Also the “IP” option in the Plugin is not needed anymore so this line can be out. It just should be look like this:

  {
      "plugin": "echo"   
    }

When you put the Plugin as frist plugin that will be loaded make sure you have set your Device to “active” by default all devices will be “inactive” so Alexa cant find them because there is a limit by ~50 Devices that Alexa can Handle from a single source!
