question

I finally have my lighting skill adapter set up and approved through Amazon. My custom skill adapter now shows up in the Alexa app under settings->connected home. The documentation for setting this up is pretty straight forward up to the point of setting up an OAuth2 provider. First, read the documentation over really well: https://developer.amazon.com/public/binaries/content/assets/html/alexa-lighting-api.html There are some detailed walkthroughs for setting up a Lambda function, installing AWS CLI, creating an IAM and giving a couple of the backend endpoints permissions to invoke your lambda function. It'll take a few minutes to set it all up, but that's the first step. After following the instructions for setting up the Lambda function, we can set up Login with Amazon as the OAuth provider. Of course, you can do this on your own server if you want, but some devices just aren't capable. Go to login.amazon.com and create an account, then register a new application. Here are some example settings to use in setting up the new application: Name: MyLightingAdapter Description: My own home automation lighting skill adapter Privacy Notice URL: Submit that form and next you'll select web settings. Here you want to note your client ID and client secret, and add https://pitangui.amazon.com/partner-authorization/establish to the allowed return URLs. From here, just submit an email to alexa-coho-submissions@amazon.com with the following information: (this is a copy and paste from my own email that I sent, use your own information where appropriate) Skill adapter display name: ASKLightingSkillAdapter Skill adapter description: Personal Skill Adapter for my home automation system AWS Lambda function name: OAuth Client ID: OAuth Client Secret: OAuth Scope: profile OAuth authorization URL: https://www.amazon.com/ap/oa OAuth token URL: https://api.amazon.com/auth/o2/token Amazon Customer ID:
