Running HS ver 3.0.0.243 ran the linking setup then ran the find my devices, Echo finds a door, one door and i have unlinked rediscovered and that is all it finds, any suggestions for making it find 15 other ligthts?

Do you have the voice command checkbox checked on the other devices?

This will sound dumb, but do the other lights only support on/off/dim?

I set up API and it found all my lights (zWave) but would not find my door lock or speakers. Both the door lock and speakers are set up for voice conttrol and I've tried re-discovering several time, including after a fresh reboot of the system.

Any ideas to get other devices discovered within Echo?

FIXED: Found this in the API forum

Look that the "Status/Graphics" tab on your device and check the On/Off/Dim commands. There you will see a drop list labeled "Control Use". This needs to be set to ON/OFF or DIM. This piece of information is used to tell if if those are on/off/dim controls. We needed to add this since you could label your controls with other labels, maybe non US. This control has been there for quite a while and Z-Wave populates it. Also, if you create a virtual device, it gets set properly too. Its possible other plugins are not setting this, or you have some older devices created before we added this. Just select the proper setting for your On/Off/Dim devices.

Check the control use of the devices you are having issues with .

It is a setting on the status graphics pairs of the device.

That's how I managed to get Alexa to control my two Globalcache IR devices and the TVs/receivers that are hooked up to him. Even though I'm limited to only turning them on and off (and the volume if I wanted to set it to "dim" it's still pretty neat. For the rest of the IR commands I use IFTTT "trigger" words
