Sorry very new to this, don't really know what this means.
Thanks

it means your lineup.json file is in an invalid format. Did you run setup_cable command to generate it or did you make it yourself? also can you post the contents of your lineup.json file here

ok. if you post it here i will be able to fix it for you pretty easily if you dont want to do that.

jas8472 commented

Hi, It's not finished yet but this is what I have.
I added the .txt to make it upload.

lineup.json.txt

eclair4151 commented

oh i see. You have a trailing comma you need to delete on this last line:

["nkjr2", "nick junior two", "620", ""],

jas8472 commented

the very last one?

eclair4151 commented

yea it should be
["nkjr2", "nick junior two", "620", ""]

jas8472 commented

Thanks I'll try it and let you know how I get on.

oh i see. i think you miss understood. you need commas on every channel listing except the last one. like a 3 channel thing would look like:

[
["home", "home", "196", ""],
["life+1", "life time plus one", "197", ""],
["ptv", "property tv", "198", ""]
]

Hmm umm not sure. that looks like a networking issue on your end. try restarting it?. you can also try running

python3 alexasmartcli.py reset

and then relogging in and and registering the device

eclair4151 commented

psf/requests#3677

looks like it might be a DNS issue on your device/network

jas8472 commented

Thanks for your help, I can't do any more tonight. I'll have to try again another time.

eclair4151 commented

i looked more into it and im pretty sure that error means your pi is not connected to the internet when you start the server

jas8472 commented

it may be a networking issue with the AWS library.

see
aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-python#101

i would try first updating the package because the one in my requirements is 2 behind

so try
pip install AWSIoTPythonSDK --upgrade

and see the comment in the github issue

eclair4151 commented

I have gotten confirmation that changing the DNS on your pi to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 fixes this issue. Closing for now. If this issue comes up again and this doesn't fix it i will re open
