Has anyone been able to get Echo Speaks to control Alexa Guard either automatically (based on the triggers/rules in the Echo Speaks app) or via the manual toggle in the app?
I've just updated to the latest versions of Echo Speaks, but I've never been able to get Echo Speaks to control Alexa Guard for me, via either the in-app toggle or the in-app automations.
If you've found a different way to get Alexa Guard working, I'd love to hear that. Thanks!
I use the Alexa geofence (as well as Hubitat's). When I leave home, I have an Alexa routine that says, "Alexa, I'm leaving" on my most central Alexa device, and then broadcasts, "Alexa, I'm leaving" on all of my devices. When I get home, I have a similar routine for "Alexa, I'm home."
It's not totally reliable either coming or going, but it works about 9 times out of 10.
One of my Sonos speakers is close to an original Echo. So I speak the message "Alexa, start guarding" on that speaker when the mode changes to Away (and Sleep) and "Alexa, stop guarding" when the mode changes to Home.
There's no Echo Speaks involved (or Alexa Routines). So far, it's been 100% accurate.
Thanks, @jabecker and @aaiyar. I'm sure these methods do work, and they're creative! That said, since the Echo Speaks app aims to provide a simple, programmatic solution for this, I'm really trying to figure out whether anyone has been able to get that specific feature of the Echo Speaks app to work. I'm not sure whether my personal Echo Speaks installation just isn't working or whether this is a broader issue.
I have seen it work a few times, but now it isn't. I'm using Away mode vs home modes as triggers in the echo speaks app. Not sure why/when it stopped working.
Hi. I am using ECHO SPEAK, but it can NOT get it to work with Hubita HSM modes changes.
It dose work only with Hubitat MODE changes.
No error reported, no log line, is like if is never programed to do anything.
Can you please help me? Is there an updeate or fix for this?
