Taking my first steps with Hubitat, but have long experience with other (Z-Wave) platforms.
I included two Qubino DIN Dimmers without a temp sensor. Hence only a dimmer device on the Hub.
However, when I enable the dimmers on Alexa they show as device type Temperature Sensor. They do respond correctly to spoken on/off commands, and when in a group, but you cannot control the device in the Alexa app.
Looking at the Amazon Echo Skill status page I see three lined for the Qubino Din Dimmer for level, temperature, and switch. As these devices do not have a temperature sensor, that entry should not be there.
Is there a way to change how the Amazon Echo Skill reports the device type to Alexa? Or do I need to wait on a code update from Hubitat?
The work around would be to create a virtual dimmer corresponding to each of your Qubino dimmers.
Expose these virtual dimmers to Alexa, and not the Qubino dimmer. Then setup automations (using the Mirror app) where changes to the virtual dimmer are mirrored by the actual dimmer).
Another alternative to @aaiyar’s mirrored device option is to use a custom driver instead where you remove the temperature capability. Most of SmartThings Groovy device handlers can be ported with a few edits. I found Qubinos device handlers on their support website and the DIN DTH here:
Thanks for the pointers. I copied the driver took out the temp capability and related functions. I had to replace "physicalgraph"with "hubitat" in the zwave events, but other then that it seems to be working. This driver now also exposes all the configuration variables.
I looked at the development documentation, but that seems, eh well, minimal at best. Any other sources I could use?
Hi @MrFarmer ! Thanks for putting the driver out there for the community. Just wanted to let you know that there is an extra "}" on line 609 of your code.
Any updates on the driver situation? I'm still fighting with the unresponsiveness of some lamps when turning several on/off at the same time through scenes or similar.
