Connecting Alexa to home NAS music library

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.

Path.

Bump. surprized to have no replies. Does anyone do this?

Have you tried searching the Synology repository for any suitable apps?

Also post on the Synology forums - there are some very helpful bods over there

I just use spotty on the home network, it knows some of my music is stored locally on the nas.

I'll have to check out what the google one does

Thanks Santa,

I am stuggling to find time for this. I will pick up your suggestions over the weekend.

I do know that Alexa in the Sonos Play is not the fully functional Alexa that you get in an Amazon Echo/Dot et. It's like a cut down version, she can't do everything that an Amazon Alexa can.
