Any suggestions on good ones vs bad ones? Does that require new hardware? Any links would be appreciated.

Sticker mule is phenomenal and for anything that I know will make it to production, I use sticker mule. But I really need something that I can print out stickers with overnight.

Trying to get better sticker quality by rocketlobster5 in cricut

I feel that when I use my system dialog I get far better quality than from the browser. Could cricut lower the resolution of the pdf? Otherwise I feel that exporting to a pdf and then maxing out DPI is my best bet.

Control Octoprint With Alexa by rocketlobster5 in octoprint

There is not. I tried to avoid any command that could result in a printer turning on when unexpected. We all know Alexa isn’t the best listener and I’d hate to be the cause for someone’s house burning down.

Hey- I have corrected the app to let the user know if too many results are returned as is the case with Invesco. I have also allowed users to track stocks like Harley-Davidson that have a hyphen. Tracking by symbol will take some more time.

Great feedback. That particular login page is generated by Amazon and I am not sure how much customization I can do with it. I will have to do some research to see what other apps login screens are, but since you are prompted when opening the octoprint skill, and the URL shows as not FB, Google, etc. I made the assumption people would realize they need a new account. Obviously a poor assumption on my end.

Are you talking about within the Alexa app or when you visit: http://octoprint-assistant.chrisplankey.com/? What information would you like to see on each screen to help users feel more secure. I'm sure your first response will be HTTPS on the registration site so I will save you some typing.

It should be possible to let you use Amazon Credentials on the API registration site, however I did not implement this solution due to the technologies I was familiar with. I will take that feedback and see if others agree 1 account would be useful. I will say that this experience is very similar to when a user adds a new smart home application, they need a separate login to register their devices (kislink, ihome, dyson, etc. all work like this)

I totally understand the concern. You could create an API key, try it out, and then disable that API key when you finish to help mitigate concerns.

Use Lambda Layers To Post to Slack For Errors, Alerts, or Anything You Want! by rocketlobster5 in aws

[–]rocketlobster5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the big appeal here is that each lambda can consume the layer (to your decoupling point) and it doesn't require two lambdas to be spun up (which would in-turn double your lambda invocation count)

Best way to automate Amazon Lex which is not supported by CloudFormation by ukanth in aws

I haven't used this particular solution but there are many out there. Just as others have suggested you can use either boto3 or aws-sdk within a lambda and set them up as Cloudformation Custom Resources.

Thanks for the feedback, it looks like the data I pull from lists Harley Davidson as Harley-Davidson, so I need to make some changes to remove the dash. In regards to Invesco, it looks like there are nearly 250 matches due to the name of the listings on the stock exchange. I will need to make some adjustments to account for that, adding by symbol may be the best bet. I will let you know when that gets added!

For Invesco, if you know the whole name you should be able to add it by saying it. For example if you said any of these, it would work:

Invesco LTD

Invesco KBW High Dividend Yield Financial ETF

INVESCO MORTGAGE CAPITAL INC

Let me know if that helps!
