A post was split to a new topic: Alexa skill - unavailable message
Any plans to move the iOS notifications to use this cloud connection for sending notifications and action responses?
Would be a nice addition to see happen and adds value to justify the fee. Right now I prefer local Alexa control so not so interested in the cloud option.
REGARDING COST:
I dont care much for subscription models. It lends itself to Cost creep with little increase in benefit. I am also one to pennypinch and become annoyed by the constant need to remember some micropayment.
I do love Plex’s payment model.
Please provide a x1payment option. What about offering HomePass or HASSPASS or whatever??

This worked for me thanks!
I am all for using the cloud solution, but before that… what about a site telling me which stuff I can control by it? I still look for the way to control the white tone of my light bulbs via Alexa. Noone could tell me how to change it and your source says it’s doable.

Worked perfect to add the cloud component, create account and login. If this work I will happily pay $5 / month to support it and HA in general.
But clicking ‘Activate the Home Assistant skill for Google Assistant’ only returns a 404. Any suggestions?
It should no longer be returning 404, it went live a while back. That said, the instructions will walk you through an alternative approach that will work.
Hi all
I’m trying to use it with Alexa in Italy, but I don’t find the HA Alexa skill in the italian Alexa store list.
What can do or how can I help to get it also in Italian skill store?
Thanks
I have been using this for a few months. However, I have two issues. The first is the free period is supposed to end on June 30th, and it’s the 26th and there is not information on how to pay. The other issues is that there needs to be a way filter out the things in home assistant that I don’t want exposed to Google Assistant and Alexa. The assistants are showing over 100 devices but I only need about half of those to be exposed to the assistants.
It has been extended 1st Sept asposted here
Items can be filtered
read this post
And a search of the forums has many posts on excluding items to alexa
you can already limit what is exposed. check the docs.
i constantly get unable to connect to cloud. any tips? it’s has worked once or twice but then just signs out constantly
Love this cloud service (been using it for at least a month and it’s working very well for me). I’m honestly looking forward to paying for this service (please keep it $5 a month or less) so that I can support continued development of Home Assistant. Have the subscription plans been ironed out yet?
Sorry to sound like an old record… but I hate subscription services and have recently cancelled several. I would way prefer a one off ‘buy in’, if it does evolve to a paid service.
I’m with you on that. ongoing payments are just a pain
Just out of curiosity, what would a fair price be for a service that you got to use forever? (Not trolling: Since servers cost money to run every month, what single lifetime price do you feel would work?)
I like plexpass model
$4.99 per month
$39.99/1 year,
$149.99 lifetime
Basically heavy discount for upfront
Price Model could change at any time really if needs change.

Lifetime of what? Your life? The life of the Plex organisation? - All things must pass, and what if plex goes broke, or the guys behind HA get busy with life and give it up.
I am happier paying per month, and if the service stops, I stop paying.

Thank you for work. Will this become tool for remote access? Really interested in using UI out of house. Sometimes it is critical, like watching cameras when you are out of home, controlling the temperature by sensors and thermostats to avoid issues with water pipes in winter…
I just can not use ddns because my router can’t open only one port.
