Alhau - Free Domoticz Alexa skill

Post by wulfy »

Hello,

This skill was developed to give a solution for users who want a "simple" way to manage their Domoticz devices with Alexa, for free, without having to install and manage the code on aws lambda.

This skill is not as powerfull as other ones like Controlicz or Alexicz , but it does the job :
- Most of devices are supported (sensors, lights with colors, dimmers)
- Scenes are also supported
- you can override Alexa name by using Domoticz description

The skill is young, but if you want to give it a try you're welcome !

Don't hesitate if you have questions : www.alhau.com

cheers

Wulfy

Yes it fails for two days now, no news from Wulfy but he is probably on vacation.
Hope he will give us some good news soon.
We now have to wait :?

Hello,
Alhau is coming back from ~one week.
One monitoring component is changed to avoid this 'no-action'.

Hello, for some time the Alhau plugin no longer connects to Domoticz. Does anyone have the same problem??
Thanks

No idea, but domoticz includes native alexa support, see the documentation in the repository folder or the wiki.
there is no need for a external helper

Seems like i repeated myself, i already mentioned that above
