RM definitely has the full Logic but without echo speaks what else would you use to hear those Notifications or whatever else. I've tried them all I think Sonos is pretty good and reliable but I'm really loving this Echo speaks now. I don't really care if it runs local or not when it comes to speech notifications. I'm pretty sure the actions App is going to get more powerful in near future.
I have been using a Google Home along with phone notifications, which has been very reliable and good. However, I only have one Google Home, but I have Echo's in every room so I want to be able to notify in different rooms with the Echo's.
I want to use the echo's as a reminder type device for example when I walk in the garage at a certain time of night before trash day it reminds me to take out the trash. This requires RM at this point for the full logic control. I see that the Actions app has a lot of capabilities and more are coming. It certainly has some advanced control of the Echo responses. But in terms of logic processing, it's not the same as RM.
I'm ok with it not being local as well, but I need it to work at least 99% of the time without having to touch it for months.
Have you tried powering down your echo devices I have 1 old echo dot device that's on old firmware that's showing up in the logs with errors but seems to still function like normal. I'm not saying it will fix your problem but it can't hurt. We have to make sure it's not the echo devices that are causing the problem maybe your wifi needs a looking at?
I have 1 or 2 echos that have been powered down, still same story. I don't think it's a wifi issue as I've never had a single problem with the normal functionality of the Echo's or losing connection. I went ahead and looked at my wifi controller anyway. All looks good, everything has been connected for a while.
Good point.
Since I manually added the cookie, it didn't say authentication good till I logged in as per normal. So will just have to wait and see if the auto cookie refresh keeps things going
I have everything updated to the latest:
- ES 3.0.2.1
- ES Actions 3.0.2.0
- ES Device 3.0.2.0
- Server 2.3.0
... and I am getting this the log:
app:32972019-09-18 06:59:59.261 pm warn EchoApp (v3.0.2.1) | CODE UPDATES REQUIRED: Echo Speaks Integration may not function until the following items are ALL Updated [Echo Speaks Actions]...
... and the app says:
Is there something else I need to update?
Odd, it updated for me.
I updated everything last night, including the Heroku server and tested fine. Notifications were working this morning at 7:00, came home from work at 5:30 and it's not working again.
Logged into Echo Speaks app, test notification through the app wouldn't work. Tried testing the device directly and it worked fine.
I then checked for updates to the code, the app says the Actions needed to be updated but nothing came through using the import function. I also selected the Amazon login option from the app, it gave me a success, did not refresh the cookie. Now it's working again
Let me know what you need

Really odd. I have not change anything. I just looked again and the errors stopped and the App show that it is current now.
Same thing happened to me yesterday. If the updates don't get anything new, then I don't worry about the warning message
Wish mine would stay working for more than a day or so...
Rick
Once the main app detected a version change it runs through cleanups and then tells all child apps and devices to checkin.

Is push notifications working? I can't seem to get devices to show up.
I'm not 100% certain. It's hard for me to test on Hubitat. I only have a couple devices connected for development purposes.
No worries I'll just RM for the Push
Now i have this installed, i have been testing speak function based on presence
I have a action set and it works when i toggle the test switch, other than that it doesn't run.
Here is the setup. Any clues as to what im missing or where i have gone wrong?
Thanks!
My hub locked up this morning after receiving these errors:
This is my first lock up in quite a while.
How do you troubleshoot if speech test fails?
Guessing you're asking me
I know presence works, using iphone presence app, have set this to work witn modes. Turn off/on wifi, mode changes..
In my rule, i can toggle test action and it speaks..but wont speak based on presence
Just hold up on using actions for a few days until I can test more on hubitat.
Iām sure there is something stupid that works under st but not hubitat.
Any logs you may see that point to errors while the action executes will be helpful
