Any updates on a timeline for AUS support?

Hi SmoochiesBoss,
How did you make this work? I’m literally losing all my hair. cant make it work using the RFXCOM RFY actuator controlling Somfy shutters and using the switchable tag just does not work. To be precise, Alexa understands the command, sends the command to openhab but the openhab command fails to execute because it cannot interpret a number or percentage value and make that run as a command.
i dont know if i was able to explain it

Alex does not find my device, do you see any tagging error?
Number HzTargetTempWz "Zieltemparatur Wohnzimmer" <temperature> (FF_Wz_Heizung) ["TargetTemperature"] {channel="homematic:HmIP-eTRV-2:ccu2:000A1709A64307:1#SET_POINT_TEMPERATURE" }
Standalone [ “TargetTemperature” ] is not possible.
You need a group tagging [ “Thermostat” ].
See here in this topic the very first post.
Group gDownstairsThermostat "Downstairs Thermostat" (gFF) ["Thermostat","Fahrenheit"]
Number DownstairsThermostatCurrentTemp "Downstairs Thermostat Current Temperature" (gDownstairsThermostat) [ "CurrentTemperature" ]
Number DownstairsThermostatTargetTemperature "Downstairs Thermostat Target Temperature" (gDownstairsThermostat) [ "TargetTemperature" ]
String DownstairsThermostatHeatingCoolingMode "Downstairs Thermostat Heating/Cooling Mode" (gDownstairsThermostat) [ "homekit:HeatingCoolingMode" ]
@asemev, sorry for the slow reply. I can tell Alexa to “Open the shades”, “Close the shades 80%”, “Open the right shade 90%”, etc. My motors are ILT2’s with a Somfy ILT to Z-Wave Digital Interface on each one. Here is what I have:
shades.items
Group:Rollershutter gShades
Dimmer iShades "Shades" ["Switchable"]
Rollershutter iRight_Shade "Right Shade" (gShades) ["Switchable"] {channel="zwave:device:b3440654:node18:switch_dimmer"}
Rollershutter iLeft_Shade "Left Shade"(gShades) ["Switchable"] {channel="zwave:device:b3440654:node19:switch_dimmer"}
Do you have a rule to connect Dimmer iShades to the Rollershutters?
/Mike
Yup. Forgot to put that in my earlier post. Here you go!
rule "All Shades"
when
Item iShades received update
then
gShades.sendCommand(iShades.state.toString)
end
Is there a possibility to get Alexa / OpenHAB to respond to Lock / Unlock.
I want to say Alexa, Unlock Frontdoor.
/Mike
Check Routines in Alexa App. There you can set phrases and combine these triggers with switches

I don’t know if that’s possible, but it sure sounds unsecure. Someone could break into your place with a loudspeaker!
Which skill are you using? In the german alexa skills for OH I don’t have the option to “open” or “close”.
A routine doesn’t work either as the device is not supported in a routine (at least this is what Alexa says)
I’m using the standard Open HAB skill.

This is the first I had heard of it but I tried it and it works great.
It’s so much better to say “Open the terrace shutter” rather than something convoluted like “Turn the terrace shutter open on”.
Loved this when I had it - still no Australian language support? It worked perfectly, just need to add support for our country.
Im Australian and Alexa has been Australian since it was available - whats not working?
If your language and location are set to Australian English / Australia you can’t get openhab in the skills list and it removes all your discovered devices.

my account is perhaps still US based, however my alexas talk in australian to me and their location is australian - can you do something similar
Yeah I think it’s because my Amazon store account is Australian. I am subbed to prime video and occasionally buy things so it sees me as Australian no matter the echo settings. I really don’t want to have to setup a new dummy US account, deregister my three echo dots and re register again when the skill could just be updated
Yep that be it I’d say explains why mine works and yours doesn’t - I’m sure it will updated. In the mean time you could get web based Alexa control using
Can you summarise what you quoted as it has been removed.
