+**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. Yes it requires a working internet connection to do the voice recognition, but to then do yet another trip up to the cloud, run a huge amount of code, and then send a result back to control a device that is sitting literally 2 feet from your XTension server has always driven me insane as to the stupidity of that plan.
