Greetings
How can I use Alexa to start / stop the Hyperion service?
Would it be possible to run a NAS service on the same PI simultaneously?
Any help would be appreciated been struglin

I currently have my pi running Hyperion plugged to a smart socket
So I can actually start stop Hyperion on command through Alexa , but through a power cycle. If a attach an HDD to it for NAS purposes the power cycles could ruin my disks. Like this I would be able to power cycle pi and then start or stop the service with having to worry about power cycles ruining 8TB
you can write a script that listens for your alexa command, and toggles that script to turn on/off hyperion...but dont know how, we dont have an alexa support yet
Greetings !
Yeah I feel like it's impossible
I found these links though am I looking in the right direction ?
www.home-assistant.io/integrations/hyperion
Thank you!
Correct me if I'm wrong
My understanding is that I use home assistant
Ha bridge to simulate the Hyperion as a hue light for Alexa to control ?
Am I looking at it wrong ?
What I did...
set up a virtual switch in smartthings
make that virtual switch available to alexa - should be able to turn on/off the switch
set up a python script that basically creates a web server that passes commands to the pi.
https://hyperion-project.org/t…-a-small-web-server.3022/
use webcore to make a web call when the virtual switch changes
If you are using smartthings/webcore already it's a small effort. If you are using HA you probably also have a rules engine in place.
Thank you for your reply!
What a mission
I currently voice control the smart plug via Alexa . But this does a power on / off at source (power cycle) should I be worried that a cold turkey shut down could damage compenents in the long run? It's been like this for almost a year and it's ok
Because like that just easier to get another pie for the NAS . Would get a 4 for the NAS and keep the 3 for Hyperion.
Im just most concerned for the power issue
or you use wled in between and toggle the leds on and of with alexa
Hmm could you explain further please ? Wled?
https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED
you can use and esp8266 board to controll your leds, it is compatible with hyperion + has a alexa hue simulation option, where you can use alexa to turn on and off the leds
or the method with milhouse explained is also good to go
but i have no tutorial or help, you have to search for it
look on amazon for a wemos d1 mini

This?
Does this by any chance substitute the level shifter as well ?
Nope, try it without, if it doesnt work, you can add a level shifter too
Thanks again
I currently have a level shifter installed. So you think I should remove it add the ESP and see if it works of not add the level shifter again ? In the same position?
if you already have one, just add it to the esp, then you are on the safe side!
So connection would be
Pi - esp - level shift
Or
Pi - level shift- esp (power maybe?)
the esp has wifi, so you dont connect the esp to the pi...
pi-> wifi --> esp->levelshift
