I’ve been trying to expose groups in Alexa but only particular ones. For this example, I’d just like to expose only a few basement groups but no matter what I try, Alexa won’t discover the groups. From my research, it sounds like Alexa will stick these within ‘Scenes’ but I don’t see them there or anywhere else. Any ideas?
Within my cloud.yaml…
alexa:
filter:
include_entities:
- group.basement_bar_lights
- group.basement_media_room_lights
- group.basement_all_lights
exclude_domains:
- automation
- script
- alert
- input_boolean
- media_player
entity_config:
group.basement_bar_lights:
name: Bar Lights
group.basement_media_room_lights:
name: Media Room Lights
group.basement_all_lights:
name: Basement Lights

Maybe trying putting single quotes around the values on your name: lines.

Single quotes didn’t do anything except failing to load the cloud component - so don’t do that in the future.
Groups are showing up today in Alexa…but all of them, not just the ones I requested via “include_entities”

Figured it out, on top of needing to include specific entities I had to exclude the entire group domain…
alexa:
filter:
include_entities:
- group.basement_bar_lights
- group.basement_media_room_lights
- group.basement_all_lights
exclude_domains:
- automation
- script
- alert
- input_boolean
- media_player
- group
entity_config:
group.basement_bar_lights:
display_categories: LIGHT
name: Bar Lights
group.basement_media_room_lights:
display_categories: LIGHT
name: Media Room Lights
group.basement_all_lights:
display_categories: LIGHT
name: Basement Lights
