Exposed the switch to myopenhab (although I can’t find it there; from older documentations I’ve read that used to be the case, but that might have changed by now)
Installed the alexa-skill and connected it to the myopenhab-account
When clicking “search devices” no new ones are found; especially not the “testschalter”-switch I created in the beginning. It doesn’t show under “all devices” or “switches” either.
Not sure if it’s relevant and I can’t describe it in details because it’s a while back: I used node-red for the communication with Alexa which worked somewhat instable (that’s one of the reasons why I want to migrate my node-red-rules directly to OH)
I’ve looked at the docs. What isn’t addressed there adequately is where to enter these definitions/tags. Might be obvious for experienced users but wasn’t/isn’t for me (I recently started with OH 3, so I’m not used to define rules, items etc. in separate files which might be necessary here).
However, I now found a way to do this, which might be helpful for other beginners: Select item to address → Add Metadata → Amazon Alexa → Choose Alexa class (e.g. switch) → save!
Then the item is discovered in the Alexa-App and can be used.
However, there seems to be another way with entering the code mentioned in the doc. Since this seems to be more flexible/powerful, it might be useful if someone described it (below or in the docs).
You can’t have the same attribute more than once in a group endpoint (unless generic attribute). The metadata for your color temperature item should be set to Light.ColorTemperature. Also, if your brightness item is a Dimmer and controls the power, you want to add Light.PowerState attribute as well (comma delimited).
