Help getting connected to Alexa
-
I found your skill when trying to find a way to view my IP cameras on Alexa. Based on dates of posts, perhaps this is nolonger a solution.
I have 3 cameras; tested with VLC, added and configured gateway using @proxy-tcp (also tried @tunnel).
Alexa finds the cameras but when I ask to watch one of them on an Echo Show, Alexa tries but comes back in 30sec that camer is not responding. In the gateway window, I can see the attempted connection.
What else can i try? -
Which Alexa devices are you testing with/using and what IP camera makes/models?
Thanks, Robert

I was testing with an Echo. I have 3 cameras. Foscam and 2 generic chin cameras. I did test the vlc could dispaly all of the feeds
-
Do you know which Echo model? For example
- Echo Show (Gen1)
- Echo Show (Gen2)
- Echo Show 5
- Echo Show 8
- Echo Spot
Let’s start by focusing on the Foscam camera. You mentioned using Monocle Gateway and the
@tunnel
tag and@proxy-tcp
tag. Can you post a log from Monocle Gateway from the point where you start the service up to and including a single request to Alexa for the foscam camera stream?Thanks, Robert

@Monocle The Echo Show is a Gen 1. I also have a Echo Spot if that helps. WIll try to get the log files in the next couple of days.
