Hi there I’d like to understand how to add Alexa Endpoint metadata to item group from UI. Is the Endpoint metadata mandatory for Alexa? From Alexa point of view grouped items should be discovered as single device?

Thank for your help. Actually I’d like to expose a custom thermostat to Alexa. I have group item with 4 sub-items: “Caldaia” is the boiler state heating/non heating “Temperatura attuale” is the actual room temperature “Temperatura” is the temperature set point “Riscaldamento” is the state on/off …

[image] rspock: I suppose I was missing the “Endpoint.Thermostat” on group metadata but did’t find a way to add. You just need to configure the Alexa metadata on your thermostat group item. You should have an option in the metadata section to do so. Make sure to delete your existing Alexa dis…

@jeshab Hey Jeremy You very kindly helped me to get the velbus thermostat presets up and running with OH2 and your Alexa V3 binding [image] Alexa Smart Home Skill V3 is now live! Group BackBedroomGP2_Thermostat "Back Bedroom Thermostat" {alexa="Endpoint.Thermostat"} Number BackBedroomGP2_Curre…

[image] MDAR: Is there any chance you can explain what’s happened, or even better, can you shine any light on what I need to change to when it might be supported again? There are no changes in how the skill interacts between OH2 and OH3. So if you kept the same exact configuration, there shou…

Thanks. I’m fairly sure I haven’t changed anything, but I will double check. (I’m in England, so would have thought the default EN language was good, it’s not something I’ve changed before. The only thing that has changed is that I’m now running OH3)

Thanks Jeremy I’ll complete that form today. Do I need to do anything, or will you give me a shout when you need more information? (I’m happy to test anything you need me to, or send you copies of Items files etc) Cheers, Stuart

Hello, I am trying to setup the Alexa Thermostat into MainUI. I created a group, equipment and added my items (mode, fan speed, power switch, setpoint) and set the meta data as ‘Endpoint.Thermostat’ I can discover the device fine, how issuing mode commands etc dont work ‘Garage Air’ doesnt suppor…

[image] dastrix80: And I put the supported modes, under the Mode Item meta data You don’t need to set the supportedModes parameter. It is derived from the specific mode mappings you configured. In your case, it will be set to supportedModes=OFF,HEAT,COOL,AUTO. As a side note, Dry mode isn’t s…

That’s what I would assume but I just wanted to make sure that you didn’t somehow configure incorrect regional settings.

Other than that, I would recommend signing up for the beta test. It is backward compatible with the current metadata syntax and would make easier to troubleshoot your issue along with applying any necessary fixes going forward.
