NodeID showing up in Alexa devices when discovery is done

[supergolfstick]

I am getting the Nod ID to show up in my device discovery. Now I have to announce "Alexa, Turn off "Node 54" Office Light" for it to recognize. Did something change in a homeseer or Alexa version for this to transpire? I have the correct smart home skill download as it does not require to mention homeseer for an action. Additionally, I do not have any overriding special voice commands loaded either.

Please help!

Nothing changed. When a device discovery was initiated, the values from your floor, room and device name were set to “Node 54 Office Light” in the Alexa devices. You can do one of two options:
1) Make sure the Floor/Room and device name for that device are set to the name you wan to use and then make sure that the Voice Command check box is checked, then rediscover devices from the Alexa app.
2) Fill in the “Voice Command” for that device and make sure that the Voice Command check box is checked for that device, then rediscover devices from the Alexa App.

I typically use the floor and room fields to organize my devices and then use the “Voice Command” field for the device name that I want to use to turn something on with Alexa. Just make sure that what ever name you use, it must be unique or it won’t show up in discovery.

Thanks. I have done a few of these. One item of note that I don’t have in my setup is “floor”. I am running the latest release and do not have that option.

I found how to show a new label “Floor” and found the reference to the node ID. I think I can resolve now. This was a new function/feature introduced into homeseer as this did not appear with an Aeotec Zwave stick as I swapped over to a homeseer stick a few months back.

Both the floor and room columns have been around since the first version of HS but I don’t think they both show by default.

It is not a new feature. HomeSeer has always had two locations, “Room” and “Floor” by default. IIRC “Floor” is disabled by default on new installations. As you found it can be enabled in Settings>Custom. Also when a Z-Wave device is included the Room (Location 1) “Z-Wave” and Floor (Location 2) is the node ID. If you use Z-Tool to include, you can name the device and the two locations at inclusion. In Setup, as you found, Location 2 can be disabled from display, but it will still be populated on inclusion. Both Locations can be renamed and the priority can be flipped in the Display Manager in Setup. I covered this in greater detail in the Virtual Devices forum in this post.

Thanks. I finally was able to resolve
