Alexa Remote Control

Control Amazon Echo devices via shell commands using alexa-remote-control.

Setup

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/adn77/alexa-remote-control.git
cd alexa-remote-control

2. Get a refresh token

The script needs a refresh token from Amazon. Use alexa-cookie-cli:

npx alexa-cookie-cli

This opens a browser for Amazon login. After authentication, copy the refreshToken (starts with Atnr|...).

3. Create a wrapper script

Create alexa-alarm.sh (or similar) with credentials:

#!/bin/bash
SCRIPT_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)"
TIME="${1:-7:00 am}"
DEVICE="${2:-Bedroom Echo Show}"

export REFRESH_TOKEN='Atnr|YOUR_TOKEN_HERE'
export AMAZON='amazon.co.uk'      
 ALEXA=
