alexa-smart-zoneminder

AWS Lambda function that implements an Alexa skill handler for smart-zoneminder.

Contents

  1. index.js - source code.
  2. config.json - main configuration file.
  3. mkzip - script to zip files for uploading to AWS Lambda.
  4. package.json - npm package file.

How to use

IAM Role

Using the AWS IAM Console create an IAM Role containing the "AmazonS3FullAccess", "DynamoDBFullAccess" and "AWSLambdaBasicExecutionRole" permissions.

Installation

  1. Clone this git repo to local machine running smart-zoneminder and cd to it.
  2. Run npm install to fetch dependencies.
  3. Modify config.json per your installation.
  4. Create a file called creds.json with the following content modified to match your installation.
{
    "alexaAppId": "AlexaSkillARN",
    "host": "ApacheServerURI",
    "port": "ApacheServerPort",
    "cgiUser": "UserNameForCGIAccess",
    "cgiPass": "PasswordForCGIAccess",
    "alarmVideoPath": "URIToAlarmClipVideo",
    "localPath": "URIToLocalAlarmImages"
}
  1. Run mkzip to zip up contents to prep for upload to AWS.

Upload to AWS

Using the AWS Lambda Console, create a new Lambda Function called alexa-smart-zoneminder and upload the zip file created above.

Ensure that the function uses your newly created IAM Role.

Tip: Use the "blank function" blueprint and skip the "configure triggers" prompt when creating the function.
