AFAIK [“CurrentHumidity”] is NOT supported at the moment. And you only see the group “Heizung” as a device in Alexa APP, that’s normal!

And you you need the maintag [“Thermostat”] **AND ALL 3** childtags [“CurrentTemperature”], [“TargetTemperature”] and [“homekit:HeatingCoolingMode”]

see here: [Official Alexa Smart Home Skill for openHAB 2](https://community.openhab.org/t/official-alexa-smart-home-skill-for-openhab-2/23533)

You have to tell Alexa the followings commands:

Alexa, set Thermostat to 22 degrees  
Alexa, decrease Thermostat by 2 degrees  
Alexa, increase Thermostat by 1 degrees  
Alexa, decrease Thermostat  
Alexa, what is Thermostat set to?  
Alexa, what is Thermostat temperature?

in german:  
Alexa stelle Heizung auf 22 Grad.  
Alexa reduziere Heizung um 2 Grad  
Alexa erhöhe Heizung um 1 Grad  
Alexa reduziere Heizung  
Alexa wie ist Heizung eingestellt? **(I’m not sure about this!!)**  
Alexa wie ist Heizung Temperatur?
