Amazon Echo Integration


raymccarthy

Question

I've just bought myself a six pack of the new Amazon Echo Rev 2 devices.  Everything I have read about them indicates that they are brilliant, and will be even better when they are integrated with Sonos in the next few weeks.

 

The biggest issue seems to be HC2 integration.

 

BWS Systems

  has kindly developed a HUE/Vera bridge which can be used with Fibaro but it requires manual configuration of every device.  Fortunately I found that the team at Domotics has coded a branch of the solution which actually scan and configures HC2 devices.

 

Please login or register to see this link.

 

They offer a downloadable jar file, but even better, they offer a preconfigured raspberry pi solution for plug and play installation.

 

I can't wait to try my new toys when they arrive from the US in the next few weeks!

 

Thanks Domitics for making the setup so easy!

Looks like it doesn't give the option to use a sub user account which means it imports all manor of stuff you don't want in there!  Anybody know how to make it selective about what it imports please?

you can choose the option "forget" for the devices you don't want to use

Hi Aktar,

 

Yes thats what I've done for a few of them.  I did a quick test and put a light in HABridge and a direct Fibaro one in the same group and turned the group on via Alexa, the speed difference is very noticeable.  I'd say 2 seconds or so.  So I'm going to keep most of my lights on the Bridge but will see how we go :)

 

Thanks,
