[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 1245652, member: 103549"] Hello all:-) Been playing in much the same sand pit as yourself of late [last 10 days in fact:-] - using Alexa rather than Google as gateway into controlling SONOFF devices (I'm going to flash them with ESPuna eWelink is just too slow, can take 40 seconds to cycle command and I prefer to keep as much in house as possible:-) Had an old [one of the 1st Gen B I waited ages for on release release] PI to hand, installed image which included Node-RED, lots of updates later and added MQTT, I have headless web enabled setup. Links over WiFi to Node-MCU, just on bread board at the moment with DHT11 temp/humidity sensor and a bit of code to read & return values, switch test led via Alexa, announce values as sound output from web page, etc. Node-RED side makes a lot of 'stuff' very simple, well worth a look if you want to create complex setups OR have visual feedback or sensors with zero coding :-) Exactly HOW or IF I can work this into MediaPortal I've really no idea, the simple on/off power option isn't that much in the PC/TV area - sending complex IR commands covering differing device is more like it - and using Arduino libraries + IR diode may be my next step..............
