The Octolexa plugin for OctoPrint sends limited printer information to a database for access via Amazon Echo devices. The problem with other Alexa solutions is that they require exposing access to your Octoprint server over the public internet as well as require providing the external service with your Octoprint API key.

The Octolexa plugin eliminates that security risk by publishing only small informational status updates about your printer that can then be retrieved by the Octolexa Amazon Alexa Skill.

Install via the bundled Plugin Manager or manually using this URL:

5. Enter that unique key in the box for Step 3 on the Octolexa Settings Page
6. Click the Verify Registration
7. After the info is verified, click Save
