| ====== Enabling Alexa Integration outside of the USA and Canada ====== |
| |
| Unfortunately, the [[https://support.anki.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013595934-Integrating-Vector-with-Amazon-Alexa|Anki site]] states that: |
| |
| //"Please be aware that to make sure we are delivering a high quality experience, we are launching Vector + Amazon Alexa support exclusively in the US and Canada. We will be announcing UK and Australia availability next year to ensure it works well for everyone in these countries."// |
| |
| The term "support" is used in a sense unlike the rest of the IT industry: it means that Amazon Alexa is not available - at all! |
| |
| To work around the issue and to enable Amazon Alexa, you need to download a GPS spoof program. Any will do. |
| |
| * Close the vector app on your mobile device, |
| * Press and hold Vector's button on top for 5 seconds till Vector shuts down, |
| * Enable the GPS spoof and simply haul yourself into the US, over the wall, one leg at a time. . . |
| * Press the Vector button once, |
| * Start the Vector app |
| |
| Voila, you should have the "SIGN IN WITH AMAZON" appear under the "Things to Try" - and **it works**. |
| |
| * [**Optional**] Well, you could haul your ass back to whence you came and disable the GPS spoof. . . Vector will still be connected and the Android app will still display the Alexa integration. It's kind of a fool me once sort of a thing. . . |
| |
| {{:wizardale.png?nolink | Oh no, not this shit again! }} Kind of a queer racism for a purchased product given that Amazon Alexa is already available in many other countries ie: UK, Germany - and with voice support. So, you mean, //just the connection between Vector and Alexa// is "not supported?" in other countries even though Amazon Alexa is? Same people push Agenda 2030. Can you make up your minds whether you want us to be populists or globalists and let us know? It's getting confusing. . . |
