Great, please give it a go. Sorry you're finding it difficult - it is definitely a complex setup. I've been adding to the docs more and more, but sometimes think the extra detail is making it -more- complicated. Definitely the fact there are entirely different networking modes does - but I had to do that as I've personally switched to 4G internet, and the existing setup didn't work. -Necessity is the mother of all invention-, etc Is there anything in particular? > > I would like to use alexa-squeeze with the MQTT transporter. > That's great. I don't know of anyone else who's tried it yet so please do, and file issues (or PRs if that's your thing) if there are any missing sections, or you learned anything. > > Is it worth waiting for 2.0?

But I've been thinking around (more) automation to set this stuff up. The thing is automation tooling (aws cli, scripts etc) are generally suited to going through a process many times, which makes the -extra- setup worth it. But here I suspect most people just want to set it up once and leave it. But I'm happy to hear to any ideas here... The self-diagnostics are quite good on the SSL side, some stuff like this for MQTT would be cool I guess. > > EDIT; if I want to create an IAM user just for this, which access > groups should I apply I don't use a user, just a role. But so long as the Lambda user has the right permissions (in addition to the normal Alexa / Lambda ones e.g. AWSLambdaBasicExecutionRole) it should be fine AIUI. Have a look here: https://github.com/declension/squeeze-alexa/blob/master/docs/example-config/iot-iam-policy.json mqtt-squeeze doesn't need any IAMs, as it connects (currently at least) with TLS cert-based authentication, though I did create an IOT thing to model the server itself (don't think this was necessary, just part of the exploratory phase... I think...)
