I liked Barry's Worthington Utube video about "Adding Voice Control to Leviton Omni Systems using Alexa".
However, I believe I have found another way to get buttons (I have 26 Buttons) activated just like my 100 lights using only the basic Homeseer Skill.
In my Homeseer HAI Plug In Device Management page, I click on the button and go to the Tab 'Status Graphics' and change the Control Use to "ON" from the default 'Not Specified' and the Control Status to 'TURN' as shown below.
I then go back to the Configuration Tab and describe the Device simply, uniquely but without any Off or On words. This is important.
I then assure that the Amazon Smart Home page http://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html#smart-home has the Basic Homeseer Skill enabled and that the device descriptions have been discovered again and are as specified in my Homeseer HAI Plug In Device Management page.
Now I talk to Alexa just like I do for my lights without the word Off as that is not a button option. I say this "Alexa Turn On The Great Room Fireplace"change the Control Use to "ON" and Turn & use simple words without on, off in the device name.
