Is there some sort of wiki page for the OH Alexa skill where the currently supported commands are listed? This thread has become too long to fish for new information…
Would it be possible to change a String item in OH and get your registered Alexa device(s) to TTS it?
I’d like to use the Alexa to announce or notify me (out of the blue) for example if my roof window is opened and my rain-sensor detects rain. Of course I could use a raspberry PI with a speaker, but integrating this with Alexa seems much more natural.
I can’t figure out if Amazon evens allows such a functionality from their API. It seems you’d have to explicitly start a skill or ask Alexa if their are relevant notifications, but can’t find anything about “out of the blue” server side initiated specch.
Sorry, just to be clear: currently I can’t ask Alexa in Germany for the temperature a number item tagged with [ “CurrentTemperature” ] measures. Right?
Sorry that I can’t tell you anything else
I just wanted to make clear that it SHOULD work. I have no idea why it does not at your system …
I’ve read somewhere (but I think that was another binding) that when bridges are connected through hubs or switches, and not directly to the router, this may cause problems. It is worth a try: connect your alexa dot directly to the router (if not already the case) and try again. Try to avoid any access points or repeaters.
You might not have a choice at the moment with Alexa but to do hue emulation. Native openhab skills aren’t discovering for me and others yet this is not the case for everyone
