Just checking on my Alexa set-up and noticed that I hadn't added my thermostat. So I added it to the Amazon Echo Skill and did discovery in the Alexa app, but the thermostat is not showing up.
Are thermostats currently supported in the Amazon Echo Skill?
I installed this a while back. A few days ago I added some devices to Hubitat, and the Alexa app, but they never showed up. Today I went in and all smartthings and Hubitat devices say offline, but still worked. Discovery said nothing new was found. So I removed all, now neither ST or Hubitat devices are discovered.
I know @patrick said that a single Echo becomes the boss, but I tried discovery from the website as well.
Is your Hubitat hub being assigned a static IP address by your router's DHCP server? Not sure if the HE hub changing its address would impact the Alexa Skill or not, but no need to risk it. I have heard that a changing IP address on the HE hub can cause the hub to lose its registration temporarily on the Hubitat cloud server.
I've got static assignments for everything. But I did fix it, after trying to reconnect via firefox, chrome, edge, and IE, one of them eventually worked without the error. Tried about 20 times!
Apologies for the erratic Alexa behavior the past few days. Amazon has slowly been rolling out a new interface for smart home skills and it’s causing all kinds of problems. Including getting approved for multiple regions.
I was hoping they’d have the issue resolved by now, but it might not be fixed until Monday. I wouldn't disable/remove the skill because its hit or miss if you will be able to install it as you've noticed. I'd recommend just going into the app and clicking done. Then run a discovery. It'll have more success than removing the skill.
I've been told by someone, can't recall whom wrote it, that it worked for them. Never works for me. I use virtual switches with a 1 second to off setting. If they don't work, put them in an Alexa Group and then they will.
@coreylista are there still known issues with Alexa Skill? Every time I try to setup the Hubitat skill in the Alexa app, I get a generic "We were unable to link Hubitat at this time".
Looks like it was a bug that has been fixed in firmware 1.1.2.121 and I was running 1.1.2.112. I've upgraded to the latest firmware and everything is working as expected (1.1.3.114). Thanks to the HE team for their quick help!
New user here, Just trying to setup basic echo integration. Hubitat running 1.1.3.116 but when I try to add the echo skill I get "This integration requires that you update your Hubitat Elevation platform before it will work. Your hub must be on version 1.1.0 or higher."
Looks like Hue devices are still not passing-through to the Alexa via the Hubitat Skill? This caught me off guard at first until I read this post. Looks like the best option is to create custom groups / virtual switches and map those to the difference hue devices and expose those to Alexa. This should meet my needs but just wanted to express how this felt odd and caused a bit of troubleshooting.
