I have installed Alexa Voice Service (AVS) Device SDK on a Raspberry Pi.
I want to use smart home to turn on a led on my raspberry pi via the Alexa command.
To do this, I followed the following tutorial: https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/blogs/alexa/device-makers/2020/04/create-a-sample-alexa-built-in-disco-ball-with-smart-home-for-av
When I ask Alexa to turn on my led, the answer is "this feature is only supported by Alexa integrated devices".
I wait for Alexa to execute my request.
Is it really impossible to use this feature until the device is certified? Or have I done something wrong?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

I'm trying to build a smart baby monitor with raspberry pi. So one of the features of that monitor is talking to the baby remotely via a mobile app(i have already built a mobile app).when the user talk via the mobile app it should hear from the speakers that are connected to the raspberry pi. how do I achieve this??
I have a Google Nest and a Raspberry Pi. I would like to be able to send commands from the Raspberry to the Google Nest. I have done some research and I have found ways to control the rpi with the Google Nest but not the other way around. Any clue would be helpful Thanks!
EDIT: I think Google Nest may not be the target but the google home app. In the end I want to be able to do something like this: rpi sends request => light device registered in my google home app opens/closes.
You can target the Google Nest using the Smart Device Management API.
However, there are currently only a few traits supported for controlling the Nest, specifically targeting the on-board camera.
I'm a bit confused. I explain to you my project, I would like to make a "reader" by using beacon technology (ibeacon for apple, eddystone for android) using a raspberry pi 3. The smatphone application sends an acknowledgment code when passing the person. The raspberry marks and updates an online database. I wanted to ask, first of all can this be done? My problem is to realize the beacon transmission, then for the app and the database I have no problems. I tried using bluez but I can not detect the phone. Is there any online tutorial that could help me? Thanks
If you are looking to use the phone to emit a beacon transmission and then use the Raspberry Pi 3 to detect the beacon, then yes, this is possible. I put together a tutorial on how to use the Android Things to detect beacons on the Raspberry Pi 3.
The problem with using BlueZ for beacon detection is that it is simply not stable on the Raspberry Pi, and will freeze up and stop detecting requiring a reboot.
I want to build some kind of two-way bluetooth connection on Raspberry-pi which actually works as beacon. Based on RadiusNetworks tutorial (How to Make an iBeacon Out of a Raspberry Pi http://developer.radiusnetworks.com/2013/10/09/how-to-make-an-ibeacon-out-of-a-raspberry-pi.html) I've built beacon on my Raspberry-pi, but it's working in "advertise and not-connectable" mode (which is connected with problem described here: Raspberry Pi iBeacon connection timing out).
What I want to achieve is beacon device, which works in advertise mode and also allows to receive some events from other device (i.e. iPhone). When iPhone discovers Raspberry-pi beacon I want it to send some data to Raspberry-pi to trigger some action. I know that in the simplest way my iPhone should send data via network to raspberry while it enters to the beacon region, but unfortunatelly my solution has to work in offline mode, so I'm looking for some kind of direct (and possibly fast) connection. I think that PayPal beacon is a good example of my needs (as it is decribed here: https://devblog.paypal.com/how-does-paypal-beacon-work/ their device works as gate for communication user smartphone with PayPal services).
I'm complete beginner in BLE topics, so I would be grateful for any hints where I can start exploration or how to properly ask Google for any good answers in this topic.
For complex interaction, you need to learn how to build a connectable Bluetooth service with BlueZ, which is the Linux open source Bluetooth stack. Once you have this service, you can write iOS code using CoreBluetooth to connect to this service when the beacon is nearby.
Unfortunately, I do not know of a good tutorial for building services on BlueZ. The BlueZ code is open source at least, so the code is a good place to start looking:

I am looking to build an app that runs on a Raspberry Pi in full screen mode. I have already tried JavaFX and swing based app and the performance is really bad.
Before I jump on to SDL(http://www.libsdl.org/) i want to check and see if anyone has successfully build apps using the TideSDK on the PI.
Appreciate your insights on the challenges
You have to give chance to Qt
