I’ve set up theAlexa Smart Home Skill and it successfully discovers everything the HA Alexa API exposes, however none of it works. Stuff like a switch, or a fan, or a group, will show “Device Malfunction” in the Alexa interface. Also everything shows up a “Royal Philips Electronics Smart Device”.
The Amazon Skill is correctly linked to the Lambda function (which appears to just pass on the Alexa Skill directive request to HA), and the Lambda function correctly connects to the HA Alexa API handler. I can see the requests coming in as well to HA. I’ve also set the display_categories for the switch in entity_config to SWITCH, though it still shows up as a bulb in the Alexa discovery.
Supposedly this should work as the Nabu Casa version of basically the same thing supposedly supports all these things.
Does anyone have switches, fans, or whatever (outside of lights) working with the Alexa Skill? This is on HA 0.99.3. Makes me want to switch to using emulated_hue instead.
