    Hi 

    I have installed the skill and can see all my devices but I cannot see any scenes 

    Has anybody managed to see their scenes ?

     

    Thanks

    Frank

    oops its got them all 179 devices....oh what a mess...so I had the names all done to perfection for the home bridge-hc2 link

    <fibaro> bedroom 1 - Side Light....which matches the <HomeKit> bedroom 1 - Side Light

    <fibaro> bedroom 2 - Side Light....which matches the <HomeKit> bedroom 2 - Side Light

    <fibaro> bedroom 2 - Side Light....which matches the <HomeKit> bedroom 2 - Side Light

     

    in Alexa all I get is

     

    side light

    side light

    side light

    Well got around to trying the new 'Skill' and it does not work, nothing is discovered.....I think i'll just go back to developing my 'Pi' based bridge device, at least I know its stable and works.

     

    As much as I like the Echo, its concept of doing everything over the 'cloud' to and from local devices is really not a great idea and prone to many issues.

    I'm going to give this a try tomorrow and see how it works.....on a side note I am almost finished developing a complete solution based on a Raspberry Pi, that will give you connectivity to an Amazon Echo (locally) not using cloud services, along with iOS HomeKit integration and Harmony Hub all in once device, that will find all devices and allow you to specify Fibaro Devices/Scenes that can be published to Echo, and also find Harmony Hub's their activities and automatically add them to Fibaro directly (auto-creation of the VD, with direct control of the Hub, again not via the Logitech cloud service)...if anyone is interested in it ?? Plug it into your network and then perform a few simple config steps and away you go.

    I would be interested in this too.. Was waiting for Dot connectivity to HC2 but not expecting miracles from Fibaro!!!

    I have installed and it worked straight away. No problems with any of the names as reported.

    Its slower to respond than HA bridge sadly, a couple of seconds slower I would say.

     

    I also have no scenes discovered, is that to do with the new "alexaprohibit" text as reported on page one? Mine are old scenes so I doubt have this.

    Hi @M4T VW

    Access to control scenes will be support throught the Custom Skill which is not available yet ...

    Thanks M.Baramowski, I can confirm that I have the latest HC version and a Fibaro ID account with HC added.... tried disabling the skills and re-enabling that hasnt worked either... the skill links with my HC its just that it cant find any of the devices...

    Same issue here.... correct use of Fibaro ID, Version 4.120 on both my HC2 and HCL.  Able to add FIBARO Smart Home Skill, but cannot find devices, either locally or remotely.

     Same here although I am away on holidays currently and am trying to do it remotely which could be causing issues

     

    ine question for those that have it working is your Fibaro ID cloud username and password the same as your admin username and password? Mine is different and I am wondering if that is the issue

    Hi @fat

    I couldn't get mine to discover remotely

    It was only when I was on my local LAN that it seemed to be able to find this

     

    It could be great if Fibaro could clarify if they expect the skill to be able to discover locally or if it should work remotely through fibaroID

    I can confirm this.

    I tested this at a friends house, HA works within a second, fibaro ALEXA  takes a couple of seconds. it takes that look we actually thought it doesn't work.

    So he decided (also on my advice) to use HA bridge (and no fibaro cloud worries)

    @akatar I got the same results when testing the Echo plugin and the HA.. the HA was way faster and "smoother" when communicating commands.. anyone thats worried about open security issues with the HA, the latest version now has new layer of authentication via password protection.

    Hi @matt1981

    Is the invocation the same between the HA solution and the native fibaro solution ?
