Alexa limitation in recognition of Fibaro Block Scenes

[jodohl 9]

Hi!

I have struggled for a while to understand why my Alexa Echo Dot will not recognise ALL of my Fibaro Block Scenes (NB None of these are LUA code). After testing a few random hypotheses, I decided to attack the problem systematically. And much to my surprise, I found the following:

 

My test scene looks like the attached screenshot. The intention of the scene is to turn off all lights and a few devices at night. A total of 9 Off/Set value 0 commands. Only Fibaro dimmers, switches and wall plugs. Whatever I have tried previously, Alexa will not recognise this scene.

 

Then I did the following: Deleted device blocks one after another from the bottom up. When I reached and deleted #7 ("Coffee"), the scene was suddely recognised. I then added the devices one after another. "Discover devices" (the Alexa command) found the scene every time. Even when I included the last device, i.e. back to EXACT the same block scene as I have initially not been able to get Alexa to recognise.

 

I did of course also test that Alexa is actually executing the scene. Which she is.

 

By using this stepwise delete and rebuild procedure, I have been able to get all of my desired scenes up and running with Alexa.

 

Weird. Ideas anyone?
