This weekend I hope to get v0.1.6 released to testers. This is a significant step up as it now includes both an http proxy and MQTT as options for communications between the skill and the LMS plugin. I've alos set up a Repo for the plugin meaning installation and updating is less command line and more GUI. With this in place, the plugin is more or less feature complete and future work will be focused on bug fixes and optimisations.
That being the case, I'm pleased to announce that this release marks the commencement of the Alpha test phase of the project. Still a long way to go and still the potential to completely bork your LMS but a milestone nevertheless. On the skill side, I've added support for volume control to the existing play/pause commands. The focus on the Alpha phase will be the expansion of the command set to cover a well-rounded sub-set of LMS / Device functionality. (@nickb has kindly agreed to the proposal that this skill and his excellent' DIY Secure Integration ' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107009-Announce-squeeze-alexa-DIY-secure-Alexa-integration&highlight=alexa)would benefit from sharing a common core command set thus allowing user try out both and feel familiar in each.) Thus that set of commands (with some extensions) will be the focus of development over the next few releases. Once they are implemented, we'll move on to Beta. With this release, I'm also widening the tester base. There have been several expressions of interest and offers of help over the past few weeks and I'll be contacting those users this weekend and inviting them in to the test portal. (If you don't get an invite by Sunday and think you should have, I've missed you somehow so please just PM me again with the email you used to sign up to the Amazon Alexa Developer portal.)
