Fibaro Skill now available in Alexa store

[AutoFrank 372]

Hi everyone,

Exciting times ahead.. .

.... @fat spotted that the official Fibaro Skill is now available in the Alexa store.

 

Hi @T.Konopka - Do we need a new hc2 fw release to be able to leverage this or is it usable straightaway ?

 

Feedback from anybody getting it successfully running most welcome...

Thanks

-f

 

PS - I'll be looking this later and will try and create a Tutorial 

 

PPS - Looks like we don't need new fw, anything after 4.112 will work...

How can you use Alexa via RPI? 

 

@AkilliYuva.com

I use the HA bridge from BW Systems to execute Alexa commands on the HC via the API

Thanks @AutoFrank I'll check that out. 

I'm running HomeBridge on my PI. Is it possible to run both HomeBridge and HA Bridge on the same device?

That was main reason why I switched to RPI and node sonos http api

 

I tried to run the Automate Asia version of the HA Bridge that auto imports all devices connected to HC2 but couldn't get it to work with Alexa. I was able to get all devices working in the test function but Alexa didn't discover any items and I gave up

I've been following the forum on bwssytems concerning the HA and from what I can tell, 4.5.1 is really the last stable update. I wouldn't go any further than that... There has been a ton of issues with the latest updates... 

Its the version that I'm currently using too.

I finally managed to get the HA Bridge working!!! I love how fast it works compared to the Fibaro skill. This is awesome!!!!!!!!

Hi @fat

Which version of ha bridge are you using?

[Guest fat]

@AkilliYuva.com I am running 3.5.1 that has been modded by Automate Asia to allow bulk inclusion of Fibaro devices

Hi @AutoFrank,

Are you using any tool for adding devices and scenes to ha bridge? or are you adding them manually..
