@barry-hamilton Same problem here

Got the same problem as you. Something broke

@Russ I suppose you are already working on it?

As the title says, when I click to install the background agent, nothing happens.
I can see in the task manager that it was trying to do something, but as its configuring in a silent mode, I cannot see what is holding up:

Re: Did the alexa skill got deleted?

Just so you know, it was a problem on Alexa's end. Its fixed

It was working earlier. Somehow alexa started saying it couldn't find my devices, so I went to readd the skill and it says 'This skill does not exist anymore'

@barry-hamilton Same problem here

@russ I dont know what to tell you now. It is just working normally now. I didn't change neither my script nor tried to re-add the device.
I decided to test it before changing to your script and it worked.

@russ I am using Alexa. I did a simple python script

import pyttsx3
import threading
import sys
from pycaw.pycaw import AudioUtilities, IAudioEndpointVolume, IAudioEndpointVolumeCallback
from comtypes import CLSCTX_ALL, COMObject

from ctypes import POINTER, cast

class fala:
    def __init__(self,msg,voice=0):
        threading.Thread(target=self.thread,args=(msg,voice,)).start()
    def thread(self,msg,voice):
        tts = _TTS(voice)
        tts.start(msg)
        del(tts)
    
class _TTS:
    engine = None
    rate = None
    def __init__(self,voice):
        self.engine = pyttsx3.init()
        self.engine.setProperty('volume',1.0)
        voices = self.engine.getProperty('voices')
        self.engine.setProperty('voice', voices[voice].id)
    def start(self,text_):
        self.engine.say(text_)
        try:
            self.engine.runAndWait()
        except:
            fala(text_)


class AudioEndpointVolumeCallback(COMObject):
    _com_interfaces_ = [IAudioEndpointVolumeCallback]

    def OnNotify(self, pNotify):
        print('OnNotify callback')

list2 = sys.argv[1:]
devices = AudioUtilities.GetSpeakers()
interface = devices.Activate(IAudioEndpointVolume._iid_, CLSCTX_ALL, None)
volume = cast(interface, POINTER(IAudioEndpointVolume))
callback = AudioEndpointVolumeCallback()
volume.RegisterControlChangeNotify(callback)



try:
    if isinstance(int(sys.argv[1]),int):
        fala('volume definido para ' + str(int(sys.argv[1])))
        volume.SetMasterVolumeLevelScalar(int(sys.argv[1])/100,None)
except:
    fala(' '.join(list2))

So if I say a number it changes the volume, but if I say a color or "Turn on/off" it says On, Off or the Color. (Basically it tries to say it out loud if the parameter is not a number)

Now, it only works during On and Off. All the colors or the numbers are not working as valid parameters.

This is how it is coded in TriggerCMD currently:

 {
  "trigger": "Protocolo",
  "command": "python \"D:\\Programming\\Python\\teste vozes.py\"",
  "offCommand": "",
  "ground": "foreground",
  "voice": "Protocolo",
  "voiceReply": "",
  "allowParams": "true"
 }

Did it stop working? I used this to control my computer volume, and I think since yesterday it isnt working anymore, even after deleting the devices
