Audio Station and Alexa Voice Control

[chriskhw]

Hi

So basic question first is does Audio Station and Alexa skill still even work together??

If they do, how on earth do you make it work?

I keep finding instructions that tell me I need Audio Station 6.5.5 (or I guess later if it still works) to link Audio Station to Alexa to be voice controlled

It gives instruction about going into settings and enabling the skill, but these menu options dont exist in DSM on My NAS (I'm running 7.2.0.xxxx)

see How do I enable the Audio Station skill on Amazon Alexa? - Synology Knowledge Center

So I cant "enable" alexa in Audio Station on my NAS

I thought that maybe you didnt need to any more given I'm on a much later version so I tried it anyway

When I try to enable the skill in Alexa and link the account it takes me to a portal asks me to input an https address to link the account. I have tried my quickconnect URL and my generic SYnology account but these dont work

I can see it (DSM 7.2.2 / AS 7.2.0). It's the second box down. This is using an administrator account.

I've two Alexa speaker in my home and can't use them to cast my DS Audio... when I try to check the box and select the hostname which is associated with a .synology.me:5001 entry, it times out after 30 secs and complains about internet connecctivity, and to ensure normal access to my Synology NAS from the Internet..
Here's the catch: the hostname list pulldown only contains internal addresses.. or at least they can't be edited, so even if you decided to go with a different port (i.e. not 5001), then it's not going to work..
