Hello again, R1kkie.

I can't even start to thank you enough for this "manual". It's exactly what i needed!!! It was in your step 26 where I had incorectly writted my "Security Profile ID" instead of just wrtiting the word profile. I need to do some more testing, and to rename my Telldus switches from Norwegian to English. I however think it's up and running now.

Big thanks to both R1kkie, Martinoc, Kane and of course Kimlood. Your help here has been absolutely fantastic. I'm so grateful

Hi!
thanks for a wonderful Skill!

However I have run into some problems.
I have followed every step in the guide above. And i have tried to redo it once more.

Still getting the unable to link your skill, when I try to activate the skill from the Alexa app.
Anything you can recommend me trying?

Hi Zorban,
Usually this is an error with the "Allowed Return URLs" in the security profile. Else it could be the Client Secret.
Please provide us with some more details, can you share some printscreens of your setup?

I found the error this morning! I had put in Profile instead of profile. Capital P was the problem.
Works like a charm right now.

Good evening kimlood,

I think that it is fantastic that you have spent the time creating this integration. It is a shame that you have had to do it and support it and Telldus seems not care about it's user base.

I've spend the last couple of hours working with it, but I have hit a block. I have clearly missed something. The request seems to be coming in from my phone, but no devices are found...

I've attached the logs from Cloudwatch below, but is there somewhere else I should be looking?

Hi Renzema, yes the logs states that no devices was found.
Did you update the Global.groovy with your keys? If so, can you provide the device/list from the api.telldus.com
Furthermore, can you provide all the settings from your Alexa skill?

Hi I'm trying to install MagicMirror module but get an error for the package.json file. It seems it can't parse the file. Any ideas?

Hi loo_marcus, yes I have missed a qoute. It's fixed and the code is commited to github. So fetch the new package there..

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much! Because of all the advice here my lights are now voice controlled via Alexa!

Big thanks to Kimlood and R1kkie for taking the time to write the code and formulate the list.

One thing that I had to do slightly differently was to use the https://layla.amazon.com URL instead of the https://pitangui.amazon.com/ URL at step 20 in R1kkie's list - unsure of why this was different in m y setup (maybe as I set EU-WEST within AWS and ticked the European box at step23?)

Boy, do I feel stupid. I got things built and configured, huge kudos to Kim for the effort!
Now I'm at the point where others have stumbled, Alexa wont find any devices.
The Lambda log shows: Is there any way to find out if the Telldus Keys/Request actually works? I have generated Telldus API keys previously which are working fine,
do I new to generate a new set of keys or can I reuse the ones that actually works?

Please help/advice

Hi Redferne,
The easiest way to verify the keys is to change the telldus handler in the main method of the Telldus.groovy.
The run the main method with java.

But send me and email and I will help you.

My bad. I had scramled the Telldus keys. This works beautifully and the code is easy enough to understand and tinker with. Thanks for your contribution to mankind Mr. Lood!

Hi thank you for creating this great skill, I would love to use this but I'm afraid I've got stuck right at the start. Tried to compile the .jar file from cd prompt as per the instrctions & received the following error.

Global.groovy: 3: expecting '}', found "static" @ line 3, column 65

-----static string


I got the following four keys from telldus live, 1. a Public key, 2. Private key, 3. Token & 4. Token secret. no "static String secretkey" Can someone tell me how to get the "static String secretkey" for the global groovy file"?
