Routines work fine for me, did you setup a routine to open the garage in Alexa or in Homey? If i setup a really simple flow in Homey to trigger a Alexa routine to for example turn off the lights, all seems to be working fine. Could you test something like this and see if that works?
Also did you try to add the Garage device in your homey devices (through alexa)? That could also be a way to get it working, even without routines. I added my TV (through Neo coolcam IR) in this way since the Homey app doesnât support that device yet.
If you go to "devices"on your homey app, click the + and then click Amazon Alexa and see if the attached device shows up.
And as a last resort option you could let Homey give voice commands to Alexa (if they are close to eachother, Create a flow for homey to say Alexa, open the garage door or something similarâŚ(yeah itâs a bit stupid, but i use it in a flow to change TV channels from Homey flows lol)
Thats exactly where i think the issue could be with the âplay buttonâ since from flows it works fine, do you send the play command from the play button to a specific device, since it seems to only play on the last device that played the music. So there must be a (small) difference in using the play button vs the flows triggered i guess
Using voice commands i can play different music on different devices actually, so donât know what you exactly mean by that.
Will try the "Good vibrations everywhere"and see if that will work for me, thanks
Flows Cards on Homey: #Say something: #Simon says: #Alexa good morning: #Calendar: #Fun with Alexa/sing a song: #Fun with Alexa/FunFact: #Play music Spotify: #Set volume to: #Next: #Back: #Pause: #Play: #Toggle play/pause: #Shuffle on: #Shuffle off: #Repeat: (It shows blue, but doesnât work)
So you have a device on Alexa that you can trigger with Alexa voice commands but if you make that device part of an Alexa routine it doesnât work? Also not with a voice command? Or canât you get the routine to start from a Homey flow?
Just to be clear, also voice commands for routines donât work, only voice commands for devices? Or did i not understand correctly? Itâs not entirely clear to me what the exact issue is i guess
HI,
Alex works perfect:
devices - work
Scenes - work
Routines - work
Voice commands - work
Homey:
turning on/off devices imported through Alexa (light, other, plugs) for example with a virtual homey switch - works
Triggering any of the Alexa actions(picture) offered by homey when you create a flow and select the Echo-device ( play, pause, phrases, reports, Alexa says, routines) - no reaction by Alexa
ah okay, thats strange, i use these flowcards and for me they do work (except for a small issue with music on multiple devices. I see in your image you are using a Amazon Show? I use the Echo, so could have something to do with that maybe? @Jamie
Maybe stupid question, but did you connect the Alexa App on homey through the right server? (I could connect my devices when i connected to the wrong one, they just didnât do anything else)
I have tried with all 12 Alexas. No success. How to connect via a different server? What is strange is the fact that all routines and devices are recognized (devices work) but actions are not running.
Yeah that is very strange, i just have some Echo dots and normal Echoâs to test with, all seems fine for me. In the homey app when you go to settings - Alexa i disconnected and reconnected to a different server (in my case the EU server), when i connected to the US server i did see my devices (didnât check routines etc), but also couldnât use it in flows. So that is something you might wanna try. And iâm just guessing to what the cause is in your situation, just giving you some tips that worked for me, hope it helps
Hey @Jamie It authenticates correctly and you get the typical â Amazon Alexa Cookie successfully retrieved. You can close the browser.â then when you close this page it reverts to waiting screen with spinning wheel. Eventually I kill this and send you the diag. Any other debugging available?
