–Updated 5/31/2018, added new Languages and Regions – I am pleased to announce that the openHAB 2 Alexa Smart Home skill has been certified by Amazon today and is now live. This skill allows you to connect your openHAB setup through the myopenHAB.org cloud service to Amazon Alexa. With this skill…

The onoff.map looks like this: 1=ON 0=OFF ON=1 OFF=0 It works like a charm, however Alexa does not discover devices. As soon as I remove it, Alexa finds all my devices. Removing [ “Switchable” ] does not change anything.

As soon as I remove the “<” in Switch sHallway_en "Hallway" <dimmablelight> (gHallway, gLights) [ "Switchable" ] { mqtt=">[mosquitto:/sonoff_hallway/gpio/12:command:ON:0], >[mosquitto:/sonoff_hallway/gpio/12:command:OFF:1], <[mosquitto:/sonoff_hallway/button/state:state:MAP(onoff.map)]" } So, when…

In theory: this is an invalid configuration (without a direction for the 3rd config part) this means that OH2 will disregard the entire line and throw an error in your log file (does it do that?) Note: Maybe OH2 is parsing the file (top to bottom), getting stuck on this wrong config and doesn’t c…

[image] Dim: maybe something else below this line is the real problem (maybe… :slight_smile:) I don´t think it is something below that. As soon as I remove the inbound sign (<) or the entire line, Alexa discovers everything.

[image] Celaeno1: For all who did not find any device with Alexa( via Official Alexa Smart Home Skill), I have maybe a solution! See here: Link Hope this helps! Edit: updated new information! (21 July) I can confirm this link is the answer to alexa discovering items! thanks again @Celaeno1 …

@Likonaus By the way, is your mqtt command correct? Shouldn’t it be: Switch sHallway_en "Hallway" <dimmablelight> (gHallway, gLights) [ "Switchable" ] { mqtt=">[mosquitto:/sonoff_hallway/gpio/12:command:ON:1], >[mosquitto:/sonoff_hallway/gpio/12:command:OFF:0], <[mosquitto:/sonoff_hallway/button/s…

[image] digitaldan: Second is that the Alexa skill expects the thermostat mode item (“homekit:HeatingCoolingMode”) to conform exactly to the strings “OFF, HEAT, COOL, AUTO, heat-cool” or “0,1,2,3”. Again this is a temporary restriction until a more complete solution is developed. Question: I…

Thank you for pointing that out. I did that on purpose. Since I am a beginner, it was the easiest way to have the light in the switch itself illuminated when the lights are off. Thus, the switch can be seen in dark.

@Likonaus Have you tried this? (without the spaces?) Switch sHallway_en "Hallway" <dimmablelight> (gHallway, gLights) [ "Switchable" ] { mqtt=">[mosquitto:/sonoff_hallway/gpio/12:command:ON:0],>[mosquitto:/sonoff_hallway/gpio/12:command:OFF:1],<[mosquitto:/sonoff_hallway/button/state:state:MAP(ono…
