Stopping Alexa playback
Posted: Sun Sep 12, 2021 4:48 pm
I have a "Goodnight" action that stops all my media playing and turns off lights, etc. But if the Echo is playing something, I can't stop that.
Is there a simple way to get an Echo to stop playing?
I ran across this:
https://github.com/thorsten-gehrig/alex ... l_plain.sh
But it seems like it's log-in function can have issues with CAPTCHAs occasionally. I also don't want to have something logging into my Amazon account for this. (But an API key would be OK).
I don't want to have to put a Wave switch on the Echo just to stop it at night. Any commands I can send to it locally to get it to stop playing?
