 +**NOTE:** this plugin now requires Python3. This is not installed by default on MacOSX. If you have not already installed it for other plugins, please visit the [[https://​www.python.org/​downloads/​mac-osx/​|Python.org Download Page]] and install the latest version of python3 before running this plugin. You can verify that it is installed or not by opening a Terminal window and typing “python3” if you get a not found error then you need to do the above install.

 The non-cloud based solutions for letting Home Automation systems be controlled from Amazon’s Alexa devices have always relied on emulating another device that Amazon supports directly.
