Cloud + Alexa : Filters are ignored

Hi All,

I have tried everything but when discovering devices in Alexa (alexa.amazon.com or via Voice), Alexa imports all HASS entities, the filter is completely ignored.

I found a similar thread here, and tried the suggested solution (as per the documentation pointed out in the thread). However, regardless what combination of filters I use, they are completely ignored.

My current config looks like:

cloud:
  alexa:
    filter:
      include_entities:
        - scene.guests
        - switch.master_tele
        - switch.master_netflix
        - switch.master_cable
        - cover.aeotec_garage_door_controller_switch
        - binary_sensor.fibaro_multisensor_lounge_sensor
        - light.aeotec_led_bulb_lamp_level
        - light.fibaro_dimmer2_garage_level
        - light.fibaro_dimmer2_guestbedroom_level
        - light.fibaro_dimmer2_kitchen_level
        - light.fibaro_dimmer2_laundry_level
        - light.fibaro_dimmer2_lounge_level
        - light.fibaro_dimmer2_masterbedroom_level
        - light.fibaro_dimmer2_rehanbedroom_level
        - light.fibaro_dimmer2_study_level
        - light.fibaro_dimmer2_dining_level
        - light.fibaro_dimmer2_stairs_level
        - light.fibaro_dimmer2_hallway_level

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Anyone? Thanks

I’m having the same problem. No matter what I put in my config, Alexa finds everything. I’ve tried different arrangements of the filters, and deleted all and re-discovered devices several times from the Alexa web site, but it still always finds everything. Here’s my current config:

cloud:
  alexa:
    filter:
      include_domains:
        - light
        - switch
      include_entities:
        - script.night
        - group.basement_lights
        - group.kitchen_lights
        - group.bar_lights
      exclude_domains:
        - automation
        - group
        - script
        - sensor
        - media_player
      exclude_entities:
        - switch.basementmaster_switch
    entity_config:
      script.night:
        description: A script to enable night mode

@hp-sn did you ever figure this out?

This is how I set mine. Only some example.

    cloud:
      alexa:
        filter:
          include_entities:
            - switch.kitchen_aircon
            - switch.office_light
            - switch.front_light
            - switch.gate_light
            - switch.bedroom_1_light
            - switch.closet_1_light
            - switch.bedroom_1_toilet_light
          exclude_entities:
            - sensor.sn1_humidity
            - sensor.sn1_ldr  
            - binary_sensor.front_door_sensor 
            - binary_sensor.office_door_sensor
            - binary_sensor.back_door_sensor
            - binary_sensor.bedroom_1_door_sensor
            - binary_sensor.bedroom_2_door_sensor 
          exclude_domains:
            - automation
            - cover
            - group
            - script
            - lock 
          include_domains:

            - scene
            - media_player
            - alert
            - fan
            - input_boolean

@rogersmj No I was never able to fix it. I no longer use Echo so didn’t bother to follow it up.

I’m having the same issue. What I’ve done is specify a single device under included entities yet Alexa detects all 110 my devices :confused:

If you set up the filter after Alexa has discovered your devices you have to delete them from the Alexa website. They won’t delete properly from the app.

I’m having the same issue. No matter what I do, Alexa always find all devices.
It wasn’t like that in the past, something have changed. I haven’t used my Echo Dot in a while so I can’t really tell when.

I’ve tried everything. Delete all found devices in the alexa app, made sure to exclude all domains and only leave a few switches, then discover it again in the alexa app, but still, Alexa find all items.
exclude_domains:
- alert
- automation
- cover
- fan
- group
- input_boolean
- light
- lock
- media_player
- scene
- script
- switch

I’m using a raspberry pi 3, hass.io updated to the latest version. The cloud connection works great obviously.

Deleting from the app doesn’t work you have to log onto the amazon Alexa website go into your devices there then delete them

any solution here? still the same! alexa finds everything. even if i log into the web ui and deleteing all devices there.
