« on: December 21, 2017, 12:58:18 am »
Dear All,

My IOT device controlled by Alexa Echo Dot
IOT Device - Raspberry Pi 3 Model B + Fauxmo Library(Belkin Wemo Switch)
and End Point is HTTP

The present service is,
Alexa, turn on/off light

but, I want to add more services(commands)
Ex:
Alexa, Dim/Brighten the light1
Alexa, set fan to speed1/speed2

And I want to access the web page of Fauxmo to add my commands

Please give me some suggestion

Regards,
VinothS

You don't have to make several threads about this. Most people here are clueless like you. At least you attempted the DIY homebrew automation. I know what I'm doing but have yet to try it until I fully UNDERSTAND the concept. Especially the security side.

No one can help you here. It would be best for you to ask where you got that fauxmo software you're using. You won't find an answer here, unfortunately.

You cannot do what you want using Fauxmo as this emulates the protocol used by WeMo smart plugs, which only support on/off. You should look into an emulated Hue like ha-bridge. As these emulate dimmable Hue bulbs you should be able to do what you want.

Actually if he knows basic programming, he would know what to do. The first thing  I intuitively learn while in programming school is change text in the program, like the OP wants to do. You usually find them in quotations. But programs now have quotations all over, LOL.

I looked at faux mo library though. All the OP has to do is read, really and hopefully understand the codes then he will find solution to his problem.
