1. I cannot control thermostats as I do lights (mine are HLC) using the Skill technique as advertised here http://homeseer.com/amazon-echo-integration.html
However I do see my Omnistats 2000 in the HS list of devices.
2. Why do my App rediscovered devices randomly insert the room name before the device name? This makes it difficult to make Alexa work..
3. Is this room name random insertion causing my custom button commands: ie. Alexa tell Homeseer to "turn the upper audio on" to sometimes have Alexa say "no device found"?
I believe I understand right that other than controlling SKILL light devices, I must prefix all other device controlling with "Alexa tell Homeseer to" because they fall under the Smart Home part of the APP. I also realize that all device descriptions and control command words are customized in the HS HAI plugin and that whenever I alter these I must dump off any rediscover the devices in the Alexa App.
Thank you for helping figure this combo of devices, apps, plugin and HS out and I accept and corrections in my understandings....Steve
