Hi everyone,
the latest Alexa skill update causes some problems with mit MAX! thermostats.
I can’t say “Alexa, set the left thermostat to 5 degrees”. She answer me that this option is not possible she only can set between 10 and 32 degrees.
Does anyone have an idea how I can make her put the thermostat under 10 degrees?
thx for your reply
unfortunatly it does not work… I inserted the line you wrote and she always said that the temperature is available between 10 and 32 degrees. Here is my config for the left thermostat in the living room:
// WZ_L
Number maxSetTempWZ_L “Wunschtemperatur [%.1f °C]” <max_temp> (gMaxWZ_L, gMaxSetTemp) [“TargetTemperature”] {channel=“max:thermostat:NEQ1443926:OEQ1131079:set_temp”}
Number maxActualTempWZ_L “Raumtemperatur [%.1f °C]” <max_temp> (gMaxWZ_L, gMaxActualTemp) [“CurrentTemperature”] {channel=“max:thermostat:NEQ1443926:OEQ1131079:actual_temp”}
Switch maxBatLowWZ_L “Batteriestatus WZ_L” (gMaxWZ_L, gMaxBatLow) {channel=“max:thermostat:NEQ1443926:OEQ1131079:battery_low”}
Number TargetTemperature “Target Temperature [%.1f °C]” {alexa=“ThermostatController.targetSetpoint” [setpointRange=“0:32”]}
The line I provided was just an example on how to update your target temperature item. It wasn’t meant to be added to your config as a new item. Anyway, below is how you should update that item. I left the “TargetTemperature” tag in case you are using other assistant integration to interact with your thermostat.
thank you for your support
I inserted the line into my .items file but unfortunately it still does not work. only degrees between 10 and 32 are available
You need to trigger a rediscovery on the Alexa side each time you make a change to the Alexa OH configuration. This can be achieved either by asking one of your echo device or via the Alexa Smart Home web console.
