Hi all,
i insalled hassio on my raspberry and link it to my domotic knx system. it works very well with every kind of device (lights, covers, etc…) also with alexa (not nabu home cloud). now i connect smartthings because i have a samsung tv and 3 samsung air conditioner. using HA i can control all devices but now i want to control them whit alexa. i tried to search new device but i failed. i think that i’m missing some steps… can anyone help me please? thank you
Do you have anything in your alexa configuration?
alexa:
filter:
include_entities:
- alarm_control_panel.house
- light.kitchen
- light.kitchen_left
include_domains:
- switch
- alarm_control_panel
exclude_entities:
- switch.outside
entity_config:
light.kitchen:
name: Custom Name for Alexa
description: The light in the kitchen
switch.stairs:
display_categories: LIGHT
For some reason, the manual alexa setup page doesn’t list this config anymore. But it’s still used (I have alexa set up manually). https://www.nabucasa.com/config/amazon_alexa/
Just don’t put it in the cloud: section…put it at the top level.

You might have to add entity_config for these things.
alexa:
entity_config:
media_player.samsung_tv_1:
name: Family Room TV
display_categories: TV
climate.smartthings_ac:
display_categories: THERMOSTAT
Just a thought. It should work just fine…my smart things devices are reachable by Alexa through my Home Assistant that I set up manually.
