Setup

1. Drag a Alexa Sequence node into your flow.

2. Create a new Account by pressing the edit button at the right side of the Account field.

3. Choose a Service Host and Page and optionally Language depending on your location. For example:

   	Service Host	Page	Language
   USA	pitangui.amazon.com	amazon.com	en-US
   UK	alexa.amazon.co.uk	amazon.co.uk	en-UK
   GER	layla.amazon.de	amazon.de	de-DE

4. Set This IP to the ip of your Node-RED server

5. Enter a File Path to save the authentication result so following authentications will be automatic (like alexa-cookie.json or ~/alexa/cookie.json).

6. Add the new Account.

7. Deploy

8. Follow the url you see in the node status

9. Log in, wait until you see the node status ready

10. Select a device. Clicking on the button on the far right of the device field will let you select from a list of your devices.

Now trigger the Alexa Sequence Node with any message and your Alexa will say "Hello World!". (Hopefully!)
