What’s the setting in tasmota for sonoff T1 3 gang. If i set wemo i see only 1st switch in Alexa. Other 2 are not detected by Alexa. If i set hue bridge as emulation i see all 3 swithes but activating (On/Off) them says server unresponsive.
Please help
Confused by what you mean by emulation and what you want it for?
Any device will appear either as you have defined it in your yaml file as light or switch which is how it appears in Alexa if you are using cloud
Am taking about emulation setting under Sonoff Tasmota configuration, by which Alexa can directly talk to Sonoff & ON/OFF based on our voice command.
As you see above when we set Hue bridge (As its multi-gang switch /Sonoff T1 3 Channel ) alexa app says server unresponsive.
I have seen this emulation but I have never used it since I connect all my devices to Alexa through home assistant. Just wondering why you don’t use home assistant also??
How does HA communicate to alexa? If its thru Home assistant cloud . The HA cloud needs to be subcribed for X $ Per month from OCt 15th 2018 in order for that to continue.
If you are using any other method please help me
Thanks in advance.
I do use cloud because its quick and easy and I dont mind paying a few pounds a month to support the development of the software, but I understand thats not for everyone.
Plenty of people use emulated hue instead. https://www.home-assistant.io/components/emulated_hue/
Which takes a bit longer to configure but still works. I am not too familiar with it but I understand the concept as I used to use a tasker plug in with an alexa bridge which did the same sort of thing i.e. tricked alexa into thinking any device it was connected to was a hue light.
