barrygordon,
Thank you for the response.. I did exactly this. nothing else.. so I have to do something else? set up the HA bridge? I will go back thru the posts to see if I can find something, I might of skipped over something?
I'll summarize here so you don't get lost in the mud or miss steps that aren't there or download the wrong version since folks had issues with version 0.1.1 of the JAR file.
1. Install Java runtime 8
2. Download Hue Emulator JAR file v 0.1.3
3. Download user g1of4's awesome configuration app from this thread.
3. Run the JAR file:
Open up a command prompt by clicking the start button and typing cmd
Copy and paste the following line at the prompt:
java -jar -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true FULLPATHOFJARFILE\amazon-echo-bridge-0.1.3.jar --upnp.config.address=192.168.X.X
The "X.X" is the IP address of your computer, NOT the ISY
You can minimize the window, but don't close it - it stays active 24/7.
4. Run g1of4's configuration tool. Remember to use the Computer IP address on the left and the ISY IP address on the right. Add :8080 after the address on the left, thus 192.168.X.XXX:8080
5. Click "Get Devices".
5. Double-click on each item you want to add. You have the option of selecting a voice command different from the name of each device.
6. When happy with your device list, ask Alexa to "discover my devices". All should work now by saying "Alexa, turn on/off XXXXXXX".
7. You want the JAR file to run automatically when you reboot your computer. Create a text file called "HueEmulator.bat" or some such and copy and paste the JAR run command from above as the only line in the batch file.
8. Put this batch file in the Startup folder. You can get to the startup folder easiest by clicking on the Start button, clicking All Programs, right-clicking on Startup, and selecting Open for All Users. Then just drag the file there or create it there in the first place.
That's it!
