Cannot get 33 IOT and the ESPAlexa libraries to function together

Projects General Guidance
1

I had a NodeMCU v2 but I really wanted the small footprint of the 33 IOT. But I cannot get the webserver to work (which the ESPAlexa library needs).
The 33 IOT says that it is based around the ESP32 chips, but something is missing.

Does anybody have a project where they used an Arduino 33 IOT and the ESPAlexa library that they would be willing the share enough code to get it working?

I got the 33 IOT working with the Alexa skill via the IOT Cloud, but I am making 5 fish lamps and I can only build 1 fish lamp for free (and I dont want to pay $6 per month to turn on fish).

thanks for any help!

The 33 IoT uses a SAMD21 as its main microcontroller. The ESP32 is in a separate module and acts as a slave to the SAMD21. When you upload a sketch using Arduino, you're programming the SAMD21, the ESP32 runs custom firmware that you wouldn't usually change.

If the ESPAlexa only supports the ESP32, you probably won't be able to run it on the 33 IoT's SAMD21, even if you have WiFi and webserver libraries.
