What i'm looking is a standalone voice controlled music player so i started to install Alexa first on a PI3, and was then going to do the installation of moOde on top of it.
I may do the opposite, but can you confirm that with the ready to use build, i can then install ALEXA as it is written:
IMPORTANT: If your Raspberry Pi is not running Raspbian Stretch With Desktop use these instructions to upgrade.
Will this break moode code?
I read also that it is not possible to make it possible to have alexa fuly integrated with spotify, so i may go with IFTTT to make all of this working
[Curmudgeonly observation: This whole line of discussion should have been posted in a new thread instead of polluting this existing one.]
You'll have to do your own homework.
Even if moOde and Alexa will run on the same platform, you're a long way from having Alexa skills which can substitute for the moOde UI and from having a clean integration of Alexa with the moOde audio chain. [Case in point: have you thought about how you will deal with voice commands/responses vs music output?]
Have you installed and run Alexa sotware on an RPi, either using the Amazon instructions for the Raspberry Pi Noobs distro or using the AlexaPi project on github? As a first step, you could run Alexa on an RPi and use it to stream music via Bluetooth to your moOde player. Your experiences will inform your next steps.
I'm not looking for answers to these questions; I ask them only to get you thinking about your homework.
Just my 2-cents worth.
