HomeGenie and Alexa
« on: November 07, 2018, 04:21:17 PM »

For those curious to know how HG is setup with the HA Bridge to exploit Alexa take a look at the video. There's a lot more how to videos on HG on YouTube https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=kob2IED4gPI

Nice video explaining how to setup HA-Bridge to work with HG and Alexa.
Although the version of HA-Bridge in the video has a different look then the current Bridge the Password setup is what most users will need to pay attention to.

I am using HG with the HGEcho bridge and a cm11a interface. HG dims a device from a GUI widget just fine. I can also dim the device from a browser with:

http://192.168.1.8:8080/api/HomeAutomation.X10/B16/Control.Level/50

However these voice commands do not work:

"Alexa, desk Lamp Control level 50"
"Alexa, desk Lamp Dim level 50"
"Alexa, desk Lamp Dim 50 "
"Alexa, desk Lamp Dim 50 %"
"Alexa, desk Lamp 50"
"Alexa, desk Lamp level 50"

It appears that the HGEB does not send out the command that works although the GUI does. How do I fix that?
Thanks!

Patience my friend. Digging into the code to see if there's a solution. I'm looking at the automation defined in the Dim module in the Groups section.
