Audio Station Settings: No Checkbox "Activate Alexa"

[TomCat]

Hi All,

I am trying to set up the Alexa link with Audio Station, but the settings in Audio Station do not have the checkbox for activating the Alexa-service. I tried it both on an Android device (in Desktop mode) and on a Windows PC, same result. See screenshot attached (in German, apologies).

DS212j, DSM 6.2.4, Audio Station 6.5.6-3377.

Please help!

Kind regards,
Tom

Welcome to the forum.

TBH I've not used this feature but I do see its options, DSM 7, and I'm certain I saw it back in DSM 6 days. Looking at the DSM Help for Audio Station it links to this page.

You obviously are using an administrator account, otherwise you won't get the Advanced settings. I wonder if you meet the following, and if Audio Station limits the option if criteria are not met...

In addition, your Synology NAS must be accessible from the Internet since audio files will be streamed via Amazon Alexa. To meet the requirements of Amazon Alexa, and meanwhile ensure the security of your Synology NAS, you need to complete the following operations as well:

• Enable HTTPS connection (details).
• Import a valid and trusted SSL certificate. A self-signed certificate will not be acknowledged.2
