Hi!

One question.
In order to update to the last version can i overwrite in AWS the 2 *.py (AlexaSmartHome.py and DomoticzHandler.py) files?
Or i need to redo all the process?

Thank you in advance and happy new year!

Just update the py files into a zip and in the console upload the new zip and you’re good to go !

Hi!

Thank you, updated.

Greetings from spain and happy new year!

You can also edit the 2 py files with copy/paste the content of each file instead the zip file upload process.

Hello again!

Yesterday suddenly my Alexa stops saying the temperatures. It says "its not compatible with that".

Someone has this problem too or is my installation.

Thanks for your help.

Greetings from Spain.

I think I have the same! I says "doesn't support that"... Used to work very well. Did Amazon make a change in the framework again?

[rimram31]

Bad news, I'm not at home but I will check this week-end.

Viewed your messages this morning and had a quick test => same result "doesn't support that..."

@Rimrim : i checked the code from AWS
> Sensor is returning the following :

Code: Select all

{
  "event": {
    "header": {
      "namespace": "Alexa",
      "name": "StateReport",
      "messageId": "466ca121-f501-4e52-a401-5a111ed05db8",
      "payloadVersion": "3",
      "correlationToken": "abcdef-123456"
    },
    "payload": {},
    "endpoint": {
      "endpointId": "TemperatureSensor-6",
      "cookie": {},
      "scope": {
        "type": "BearerToken",
        "token": "access-token-from-skill"
      }
    }
  },
  "context": {
    "properties": [
      {
        "name": "temperature",
        "namespace": "Alexa.TemperatureSensor",
        "value": {
          "value": 20.6,
          "scale": "CELSIUS"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

According Amazon documentation which seems to NO CHANGE for 1 year, we should have the following :

Code: Select all

{
  "context": {
    "properties": [ {
      "namespace": "Alexa.TemperatureSensor",
      "name": "temperature",
      "value": {
        "value": 24.0,
        "scale": "CELSIUS"
      },
      "timeOfSample": "2017-02-03T16:20:50.52Z",
      "uncertaintyInMilliseconds": 1000
    } ]
  },
  "event": {
    "header": {
      "namespace": "Alexa",
      "name": "StateReport",
      "payloadVersion": "3",
      "messageId": "5f8a426e-01e4-4cc9-8b79-65f8bd0fd8a4",
      "correlationToken": "dFMb0z+PgpgdDmluhJ1LddFvSqZ/jCc8ptlAKulUj90jSqg=="
    },
    "endpoint": {
      "endpointId": "appliance-001"
    },
    "payload": {}
  }
}

We should try to add the following in the lambda function :
"timeOfSample": "2017-02-03T16:20:50.52Z",
"uncertaintyInMilliseconds": 1000

I won't be home this WE too for further checks...

Hi!

Thank you people for your answers.
Maybe I'll go back as it's gone.

i have created te skill following up the well written document.
however when i try to discover - testing through the lambda i get timeout error.
the json requires User/Pass which was set int he config, however it doesnt seems to be used with the get request.. (?)

any ideas?

Hi!

I think it must to be a https:// connection not http://. Check your domoticz config.

Check your router port forwarding to domoticz from a web browser.

@Rimrim : i checked the code from AWS...

Thanks for the analysis, but I'm afraid that a "doesn't support that..." is a discovery issue/missing rather than a state report one. I've already encounter such answer developing the skill, usually a state report error, Alexa answer "i don't understand"' " or "hum ... a problem occured" ...

Alexa Smart Home API is not always clear on what is or not mandatory. I've also installed a skill based on Home Assistant Smart Home implementation (the one I've vamped => https://github.com/rimram31/alexa_smarthome) I hope I will be able to compare.

Quick note about temperature sensors :
> Vocal commands with Echo still don't work
> Temperatures are available through the Alexa APP from the smartphone

The skill is still working but something goes wrong with vocal commands...

Exactly the same here

Good news, it seems you were right Damsee, I've add timeOfSample and uncertaintyInMilliseconds and it works!

This is updated on github, please update and give your feedback if this is ok for you (for those who make some changes, there is only two lines changed near line 139 of AlexaSmartHome.py source, check last commit git history)

I've first test with home assistant and it's no more working too, thanks Damsee.

Hi

It works great! Thanks and good job.

[rimram31]

Fine.

I've also accept a pull request on github which keep the brigthness of a light and convert Kelvin to RGB to control a light. I'm not controlling lights with domoticz at home, I'm unable to make some tests. If this break something, please give me your feedback here.

Hi

Voice command to Alexa in Spanish and here is my log.

2019-01-12 13:09:56.676 Status: setkelvinlevel: t: 30.000000, color: '{m: 2, RGB: 000000, CWWW: b24d, CT: 77}'

I think it works fine.
