How did you get that into kiosk mode?

If you drive the 'mouse' pointer to the bottom of the screen using the fire tv remote then the top address line disappears.

Thanks. I’ll try that tomorrow

Do you mean the LMS-lite Alexa skill?

 

[castalla]

Yes - gives voice control

I use it (when it doesn’t disconnect and I need to go hunting for the ngrok authentication details again) but it was describing the skill as a plug-in which I wanted clarified. Thanks.

I installed ngrok on a pi zero many moons ago - I used the original manual setup instructions (which were heavy going). Fortunately, it's worked ever since. Very occasionally I have to re-enable if the ip changes.

I played around with the full version but found it too command heavy for my brain. In truth, I really only use it to turn devices on/off and to switch between favourites.

I misclassified it as a plugin - sorry. There was originally a voice plugin which worked quite well but the developer ceased support.
