I created several switches that run tasker task, whose purposes is to cast music throughout the house. I have switches for Pandora, Spotify, Amazon Prime, and Play Music. However, when I try to use Alexa to turn the switches on, she runs the native Pandora or Spotify or Amazon Prime, instead of the switch. She has discovered the Haaska name, in this case Cast Pandora or the like, but always runs the native service instead. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this, outside of naming it something like Cast Switch 1 or something?
Amazon Echo has reserved words and terms that you can not use in Haaska, no way around it. She will always run the reserved commands tied to the reserved phrases. You are going to have to choose something else, giving them different names you can remember, like “Alexa, turn on panda bear” for Pandora or “Alexa, turn on my Prime Rib” for Amazon Prime, or even “Alexa, turn on My Ultra Awesome Tunes” for Spotify… just the way it is.
Argh. Well thank you for the information! Stopped me from banging my head against the wall
