This little Web UI will start

1. Companion Service
2. Alexa Java Client (with automated Amazon Login)
3. WakeWordAgent

You could but you don't want to login everytime via VNC/SSH (with X11) and start the three Services AND manually login to Amazon to obtain a token right?

This Web UI/Python API does it all for you with a click of a Button, including a automated Amazon Login to obtain the Token ;)

• Installed and functioning Alexa Avs Sample App
• Python (included in Raspbian)
• Flask (pip install Flask && pip install pyuserinput && pip install -U flask-cors)
• NodeJS,NPM (you should already have this, its part of the avs sample app - Upgrade to a recent node Version, raspbian repos are 0.10...)
  • curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash - for latest Node v7

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/ThoughtfulDev/RPi-Alexa-WebUI.git

2. Install the node modules

cd [Projectfolder]/UI && npm install

3. Edit Amazon Credentials in Server/creds.cfg

4. Run the Python API

cd [Projectfolder]/Server
export FLASK_APP=main.py
flask run --host=0.0.0.0

5. Configure the Client

Change SECRET in UI/client/config.js to your desire (hashed with bcrypt). - Default Password is 1234

6. Run the UI Dev Server

cd [Projectfolder]/UI
npm run dev

6. Build the UI

cd [Projectfolder]/UI
npm build

Move content of UI/dist to your Web Server (you should know how this works...)

I know this is not perfect and secure and so on but i just needed something to control/restart the Alexa Services so there you go...
