[QUOTE=Summerguy;1330727]I do not see the Option for the Echo
If your app has a heading in the menu under "reminders & alarms" that states
ROUTINES then your app has updated... Your phone app not the web site.
NOT https://alexa.amazon.com but you phone app
Smart Home, Groups... Add a group. Choose the, Next
Choose the echo or dot for that room.
Scroll down (Same Screen) and choose devices
Save.
For this to work the way it should we have to wait for HS to update the program.

Has this been updated yet? Is there a certain way to set up the device names in the alexa groups?
In my Kitchen I have
Group Kitchen
Kitchen Dot
Cabinet (undercounter lights)
Kitchen Light (Over Head Lights)
When I say "Alexa turn on lights" the Family Room Light turn on.

Amazon just recently opened up the V3 Alexa API and it changed a lot so they need to redo the HS3 skill to bring it up to date, nothing we can do on our end will make a difference. I'm sure their on it, it is pretty cool how it works though.
My question is will it work the same way for things other than lights, like TV's or really any device we need it to. Right now I say "Alexa turn on/off livingroom tv" or "bedroom/kitchen/whatever tv" and homeseer events take care of the rest, If we can say "Alexa turn lights on/off" in any room, then hopefully we can do the same for TV's and other things. I know this works from the Amazon side, what I'm curious about is to whether or not Homeseer will allow our devices to be seen from Alexa as a compatible device (tvs, blinds, cameras, plugs, switches, ect).

Alexa, turn on the lights
Alexa, turn off the lights
Alexa, brighten the lights (increments the dim by +25)
Alexa, dim the lights (decrements the dim by -25)
Alexa, set the lights to 30%
I've only tested this on lights, because, since the v3 API has been released, I've only had time to implement PowerController and BrightnessController. I haven't gotten to door locks, thermostats, sensors, etc. yet. But I will soon.
Also, controlling devices from the Alexa app works pretty well too. Not quite a replacement for HS Touch, or other apps yet, because for one thing, I only seem to be able to turn dimmers on or off, and not at a dim level. But I'm assuming it'll get better.

I could certainly look into it, but I probably wouldn't be able to support something like that as well as homeseer does. I'll probably just put it up on github and open source it when I'm done. Then anyone can use it, modify it to their own taste. As long as people run it in the context of their own home, they'd never exceed the free tier.
