I had this working, but it recently stopped. (Hasn’t worked for over a week.) I can’t trigger any Alexa routine that references a “smart home” sensor as a trigger. This happens whenever my routine uses any Home Assistant-provided sensor as a trigger.
I am using a template binary sensor with a device_class of “door”. If I look at the sensor directly in the Alexa app, I can see it opening and closing instantly.
If I change the trigger in the Alexa routine to a voice command, I can trigger it successfully using the alexa_media_player third-party integration.
If I use a sensor from a non-Home Assistant integration, the routine triggers as expected.
But then if I change the trigger back to a sensor opening or closing, I can’t trigger the routine at all - either by alexa_media_player or by changing the value of the sensor.
I’m using the Nabu Casa cloud integration to push info to Alexa.
Has anyone else run into this?
I’ve tried:
- unlinking/relinking the Home Assistant skill and running discovery
- creating a new sensor, creating a new routine
- rebooting / restarting HA
