Hi @Celaeno1,
I did today a first setup of Alexa with my phone app. and setup everything as stated in here . I selected 4 items in my items file I would like to control with Alexa in a first move.
.items:
Switch Power_Plug_Socket_1 <lightbulb> (Alle_Lichter) ["Lighting"]
Switch Power_Plug_Socket_3 <lightbulb> (Alle_Lichter) ["Lighting"]
I can see the items in the myopenhab.org cloud under items. But searching with Alexa I receive the issue message that no devices found.
my runtime.cfg is like this
#org.eclipse.smarthome.links:autoLinks=false
In the file is stated that default is true. Does this mean this is the issue for me here? My item Linking in PaperUi is showing simple mode switched off.
the https://myopenhab.org/rest/items/ is providing the following information:
...

There are a lot of “tags”:[] and as well some “label” in my rest file. How is the ideal setup? I would like to understand what I need to clean up and how because I did not have installed one of the mentioned bindings. For the lights I am using exec binding e.g. Due to just started with the Alexa stuff I am a bit confused what to do next. Can someone help me a bit? How should it look like in the .items file correct?
Thank you for helping me out here.
