Re: Alex10 (x10 control with Amazon echo, dot or tap)

AlexaPiHub is great but lacks the elegance of Alex10 which makes setup and management of devices easy for anyone.  I've been thinking  -:) , what if I could run Alex10 on a PiZW? There is a reasonably priced (on sale for $10.46 now) Pi program called ExaGear that runs Windows programs under WINE.  I've got a spare Pi here and there's a free 3 day trial for ExaGear.  Any thoughts on this?

alzy:
Might be worth a try! Think it would work with a cm19a?

Tuicemen:
This may work, Alex10 uses the AHP SDK other have been able to run AHP under wine so it is worth a shot. However a pi zeroW may be short on the cpu power to run wine and everytnig Alex10 requires.

brobin:
Yes, Alex10 works with a CM19a perfectly.  Before I moved it to the PiAlexaHub I ran Alex10 with the CM19a on an old Sony laptop that was so anemic it couldn't even keep up with my slow typing. Here's my AlexaPiHub photo, I haven't touched it in almost 3 months.

I might give it try today or tomorrow. If it at least works slowly as a proof of concept on the PiZW then I could always get a more powerful (tastier?) Pi.  I'd be testing it with a CM15 as I don't have a 19 here.
