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`.

### Does AlexaPi support Amazon Music?
Yes, but you have to apply at [Amazon Developer](https://developer.amazon.com) 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.
