So someone bought me an Alexa Hub, seems an ok device so will stick it on the wall as the mrs likes it. However, I am pretty much all HA as it is, and I have a zigbee hub connected to my HA machine that has all my locks and sensors etc connected to.
Is there any way to expose these devices to Alexa? I know zigbee devices can only be paired to one hub, so was kinda hoping Alexa could see my HA stuff…
There are a few of the latest Alexa Hubs that have Zigbee built in, otherwise you’ll need to integrate Alexa into HA and use a Zigbee coordinator/dongle that is controlled by HA
Yeah so the Amazon Hub that I got has a zigbee hub built in, but you can’t pair a device with multiple hubs. I don’t really want to move everything out of my HA assistance that is already in ZHA, so was wondering if there was a way to expose those to Alexa directly from HA. I will have a read of that link
I am sorry, read your post to quickly. You can definitely expose all your HA ZigBee devices to Alexa.
I use this method and it works flawlessly.
It takes a bit to set it up in AWS, but the instructions in the link above are thorough. If you run into an issue, I can help you trouble shoot.
Ohhhh thanks for that. I have just quickly whizzed through and Alexa found 97 devices so seems about right! I just need to spend some time sorting now. One thing is my Nuki Smart lock just shows as “there is a problem” which is a shame as one of my main uses. Works find in HA, but guess not everything will work out the box!
