Q&A (FAQ)

How do I upgrade AlexaPi?

1. Go to your installation directory, which is /opt/AlexaPi by default:

cd /opt/AlexaPi

2. Pull from the repo:

git pull

3. Update your configuration file if necessary - consult the `config.template.yaml` and `CHANGELOG.md`.

### How do I uninstall AlexaPi?

1. To be nice to AlexaPi, first stop it & disable it:
    ```
sudo systemctl disable AlexaPi.service
sudo systemctl stop AlexaPi.service

2. Remove AlexaPi:

sudo rm -rf /opt/AlexaPi

For systemd install:

sudo rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/AlexaPi.service.d/ sudo rm /usr/lib/systemd/system/AlexaPi.service

For classic init install:

sudo rm /var/log/AlexaPi.log sudo rm /etc/init.d/AlexaPi

systemctl daemon-reload

3. (optional) Remove all configuration:
    ```
sudo rm -rf /etc/opt/AlexaPi

Does AlexaPi support Amazon Music?

Yes, but you have to apply at Amazon Developer portal for permission. You'll find that in your device setting - same as when you registered the device.

Can I switch the language to German, etc?

Not currently. (or at least we're not aware of such option)

Can I discover my devices with AlexaPi like with Echo?

No. AVS API doesn't have a way to connect the devices to Amazon. You can probably still do this by setting up your own Alexa skills, but that's a different thing than AlexaPi.

How do I change my location, time zone, units, ...?

This is not up to us. Do that over at Amazon: https://alexa.amazon.com

Why do I see the AlexaPi device offline in the Alexa app? / Why do I get "Timers and alarms are not currently supported on this device"?

Because we use the old AVS API. This will change when we suport the new API.
