[SOLVED] Hide items from alexa

[jeshab (Jeremy)]

@paule83

Is there any way to tag items that I do not want to present to the Alexa skill?
Some kind of tagging would be nice, or a custom items file I could use?

There are two ways to achieve this:

• Assuming you are using the Hue emulation, you have an option to change the tags naming. That way, only the items you intend to use with Hue App will be discovered.
• Use this workaround forcing the skill to ignore the tags on the item you want to hide from Alexa.

This is how I have mine setup.

Examples

Switch HueSwitch "Switch" ["HueSwitch"]
Dimmer HueWhiteLight "Light" ["HueLight"]
Color HueColorLight "Color Light" ["HueColorLight"]
