Hi, I would like to control my lights with Alexa. Previously I linked my Philips Hue Bridge with Alexa, but now I want to use openHab instead. For example: Group gSchlafzimmer "Schlafzimmer" <bedroom> Group:Switch:OR(ON, OFF) gSchlafzimmerDeckenleuchte "Deckenlampe im Schlafzimmer" <light> (gS…

So, there is no solution to use control Philips Hue lights by voice with Alexa and openHab?

Hi Sascha, Alexa, Hue and OpenHAB do all work together. You have proved that yourself, what I believe you need is further assistance on getting things working as you desire. There are a great number of people on here who have extensive knowledge of OpenHAB and will help you along when can. I under…

It probably wont work. You need to use the color_temperature channel, and that’s needs to be a dimmer it seems. I played a bit around with this, and did not succeed either. I keep getting the “… does not support that”. However, I’m pretty sure it’s possible to get it to work, as I guess it works…
