It seems to work most of the time.
Now I am trying to figure out how to easily run an event with the new plugin.Last edited by randy; January 29, 2018, 09:37 PM.HS4 Pro, 4.2.19.0 Windows 10 pro, Supermicro LP Xeon

I have been having an issue this evening setting up events to work with Alexa.... I use the MyQ Garage PI, and created some events to have Alexa open and close garage doors and my front gate. The commands I created for "open" work, but close commands, Alexa tells me device not found.
Anyone have any thoughts on what might cause this?

Australian Alexa
Hi,
I've been running this skill successfully on my Amazon Dot using a US account for a while now. Recently Amazon have now made Alexa available in Australia, so I've switched over to a local account, however the Homeseer skill is no longer available.
Is there a plan to make this skill available to the Australian market, or can someone flick the switch to make it available to us??
Cheers,
David

I used a combination of Virtual devices and groups (in alexa) to control lights in the rooms.
when I upgraded this morning, I disconnected the old skill, and forgot the old devices. installed new skill and found all the new devices (and Events in HS that I tagged) fine!
I go into the Alexa app on my phone, and see that the groups I created were gone (as I would expect).
Click "add a group" and type if office. TElls me the group name already exists... doesn't show it anywhere... so can't add, edit, etc.
However, if I say, "Alexa, turn on the office lights"... it tells me "office doesn't support that".
anyone seen this and/or have any advice?

The other thing I have seen is there is some latency for Amazon to complete housekeeping after a device is forgotten. Even though it is not in the app, Amazon doesn't fully delete all remnants for an hour or more. Maybe try again after some time.HS4 Pro, 4.2.19.0 Windows 10 pro, Supermicro LP Xeon

I've set up a couple of events with voice commands and ticked the box in the event options. The voice commands I've added are:
1) Set heating to 20 degrees
2) Make it warmer
Both of these events have been discovered and show up as scenes in the Alexa app, but when I say "Alexa, set heating to 20 degrees" I get: "It doesn't look like your device supports that yet", and if I say "Alexa, make it warmer", I get "Sorry, I don't know that."
Any clues as to what I am doing wrong? I have only got those two events and one lamp device enabled for voice command.

Jon.

You have to say’’. Alexa, turn on make it warmer’’
A scene has to be turned on.
If you want to say Alexa make it warmer,
You have to create a routine with Alexa says ‘’ make it warmer’’ as a trigger, and chose your ‘’make it warmer ‘’ scene as the action

Update: Do note, with the updated skill, now you must use the floor name in the voice command too (not in your voice Ex. Utterance). I hate that. I think I am going to remove all of my Floor descriptions.

If you're taking design change requests can we have the Reference sorting understand 13 is less than 130? As it is now the device ordering ends up a touch random for lower numbered devices.

I forgot them, and then was able to create the group. Funny, later i did another discover, and of course they came back... but now my groups are completed and still work.
