Is there a way for a Hubitat Dashboard to be displayed on an Amazon Echo Show 5 device? If so, can someone give me the step by step instructions to do so please.
BTW, I've only had my Hubitat for 3 days now, so all this is still new to me. I had my Wink Hub system for several years and before that had a X10/BSR Plug-n-Play system for 15 years.
yes, the Echo has the Silk browser and you just use the local URL for the dashboards. I have Firefox also on my Echo Show but I can't remember if I had to add that. I have a 1st Gen Echo Show and have a few dashboards for it.
It really depends on how you plan to use it. I love the 5 as a bedside alarm clock, but for the common areas, I prefer the larger screens. I should say that I rarely view my simple dashboards on them, so I don't know how well some of the ornate dashboards I've seen around here will render.
You can, but you have to set some things up yourself:
First, turn on "Tap To Alexa" (Swipe down from top > Settings > Accessibility). This will add a little icon in the corner that gives you a more robust touch menu and allow you to add your own commands.
Tap the touch icon, then tap the (+) Add New button. I use the command "open silk" and title it "Silk Browser". Now you'll have a tappable icon for the browser two taps away.
