Same for the fauxmoESP library, check it out in the arduino/libraries folder.Copy or checkout the ESPAsyncTCP and ESPAsyncUDP libraries in your arduino/libraries folder, it should be under “My Documents/Arduino/libraries” in Windows or “Documents/Arduino/libraries” in Mac or Linux unless you have placed it somewhere else.Install the latest ESP8266 Arduino Core using the instructions here: (remove before the stable version from your Boards Manager if any).You will need to use the development version of the ESP8266 Arduino Core. You will need to install ESPAsyncTCP via the lib_deps option in the platformio.ini file or by typing: pio lib install ESPAsyncTCP This is required to join the multicast group where the WeMo app (or Alexa) broadcast a message when searching for compatible devices. You will also need the latest Arduino ESP8266 Core installation, at least from after July 11 2016. You will need those first in order to compile it. Using PlatformIOĪs I said, the fauxmoESP library depends on ESPAsyncTCP and ESPAsyncUDP libraries by Gochkov. Instructions here have been updated for version 2.0 of the library. The fauxmoESP library for ESP8266 is released as **free open software and can be checked out at my fauxmoESP repository **on Bitbucket. The result is the fauxmoESP library, named after Musings’ code. The result is a fast, sturdy library that is amazingly easy to use. Lately I have been migrating ESPurna to the state-of-the-art ESPAsyncWebServer by core developer Hristo Gochkov So I decided to go for his suit of asynchronous TCP and UDP libraries for this project (note: finally the ESPAsyncUDP library has been removed and its using the WiFiUdp instead). So I've coded it into a library I could include in my other projects and have it run in 3 lines of code. I wanted something that could be easily embedded into an existing solution (like my ESPurna firmware). You will never be the first. Aruna Tennakoon had already done it a few months ago. I also have a server running the fauxmo script with an MQTT handler to control some of the Sonoffs I have at home, but this morning I woke up thinking: why should I use an external script to control my devices if I can code it in the firmware? The fauxmoESP library In his post about Amazon Echo and Home Automation more than a year ago he explains how he reverse-engineered the protocol of the WeMo switches that Alexa ( Amazon Echo or Amazon Dot ) supports.

It's so easy to use it to switch on/off things at home using the fauxmo python script by Maker Musings. My daughters love to talk to (or with) my Amazon Dot in their funny English: “Alexa, hello!', “Alexa, li-on!” (actually “light on”).
