Title: Fauxmo not working
Post by: Calli on September 10, 2015, 05:19:37 pm

Has anyone gotten this Instructable to work? http://www.instructables.com/id/Hacking-the-Amazon-Echo/ (http://www.instructables.com/id/Hacking-the-Amazon-Echo/)

The code runs, and the Echo discovers my devices, and the fauxmo code gets the ON/OFF requests, but the Echo doesn't like (or isn't getting) the response, and says "I don't know what went wrong".

The fauxmo code times out with "HTTPConnectPool(host='blah', port=80)" Max retries exceeded..."

Figured it out: the 'on' and 'off' methods call another URL, which I wasn't providing. Now I am.
Thanks, FabricateIO!!!

Could you elaborate on that? I am getting pretty much the same issue.
