Just installed vzm36. Everything seems to be working normally. I want to use Amazon Alexa to control it. My Hubitat c7 recognizes it and lists it as a device in the alexa app and I can add it to the app. The problem is that even though alexa says “ok” when I ask it to turn on the fan or light, nothing else happens. I really need this to work because my wife has had a stroke recently and doesn’t remember how to do new things on her phone. She is used to having alexa turn on lights and other things so if I can get the fan and light to work with alexa, she will be able to control the light and fan herself. Is there something I’m doing wrong or is it even possible to do this?
Check the logs in Hubitat and see what’s happening when you give it a command. You’ll have to see if Hubitat is receiving the command from Alexa.
Thanks for the suggestion. Turns out that Hubitat wasn’t getting the commands. I had enabled the alexa app in Hubitat, but hadn’t enabled the skill in the alexa app. After doing so, everything is working as expected. Thank you again.
