Hi All,
I acquired Alexa by buying a Sonos Play to go with my Sonos one set up. Sonos has access to my Synology NAS audio library and it plays well thru the Sonos app. There is a Synology Audio skill for Alexa, but Apparently Alexa can only connect via an secure socket connection for which I need a registered URL and external certificate. I do not need the URL for anything else I do with the NAS, so don't really want to pay for a domain name. I tried using the URL that I registered on the Synology.me domain that came with the router. Applied a certificate provided free by a company recommended by Synology, but Alexa will not connect to the URL. HTTPS is working when I connect using the browser
Is there anybody else on here who has done this. Any advice would be appreciated or a link to a good description or video. I am a little reluctant to use one of the free domain name providers. I don't see how they make money. So again, if someone knows a good name I would be grateful.
Many thanks to collective.
