Echo Auto

Anyone got the amazon echo auto to work?

I cant get any output in debug when i select 'on device activity'

Came here to ask the same. I recently grabbed an echo auto for the sole purpose of using it with this NR package. Not sure if the Auto has restrictions for the method this node uses for TTS, but it wont output to it whatsoever. But I think this node has been abandoned by the dev.. so maybe its just a matter of adding in the proper elements for Echo Auto to work.

I havent tried the auto again in sometime. When i get a chance, i will try again and see if can get a debug msg output from the auto.

I actually have been trying that recently. according to NR and Remote2 it seems to be successfully sending the TTS command, but the Echo Auto is just ignoring it at the device level it seems. Doesn't seem to matter the format its sent in either; Regular, SSML, Speak or Speak at volume. I also tried making a Routine in the Alexa App which just speaks "test test test" when triggered by me saying "test auto" to one of my dots in the house -- no results there either. Its odd because the app allows you to select the Auto as an output device in its own routines, but doesn't seem to actually support that.

So i have been playing around with this again, and definitely cannot get the auto to respond to any commands. Even just having an event node with a debug node, and speaking to only the echo auto, i get no info in the debug node - Its like it cant recognise the device
