So after many hours wasted unsuccessfully trying to get a GH mini to speak to my HS3 system (as many have experienced, despite claiming accounts are linked, it doesn't see any HS3 devices), I decided to give Alexa a go. I'm in Switzerland, so of course it came in German, but that was sorted soon enough.
Next problem - it wouldn't allow me to access skills, because it insisted there was a mis-match with my Amazon account and that I use German (which I don't speak, as I'm the French part!). So I used an amazon UK account I have and then it could see "Homeseer SmartHome" in the skills.
However, when I get Alexa to look for HS devices (and these all have voice enabled) - it comes back with "no devices found".
Perhaps a silly question, but does the email address for the Amazon account have to match that for MyHS? Because for the reasons mentioned above, in my case they do not.
Or is there something else I may have omitted?
