This Hello:
I wanted to ask if it is possible to make a flow called, for example, “turn off”. And I can tell ALEXA by voice “TURN OFF” and the “TURN OFF” flow is executed in homey-pro. is created to show, and explain the working of specific Flows in homey.
Yes, in Alexa, make a ‘Routine’ that starts the Flow. You can select it from within the Alexa app, after connecting with the Homey skill.
I don’t quite understand the procedure. I open the Alexa app, go to routines and click on create routines, but here I don’t see the HOMEY flows. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Thanks, what I didn’t understand was that the flows to see them from Alexa had to be in favorite flows.
Sorry to ask again, but I can’t see the flows I have in my favorites on my “homey pro”.
According to the homey pro tutorial, in <alexa all the flows I have in homey in my favorites should appear in Alexa in the devices section. But I only see the devices I have in Alexa but no flow appears. Where do you think the problem could be?
Thanks
The UI design of the Alexa app is poor so you have to scroll to the bottom of your list of devices on the devices tab then there’s a heading for scenes and then I have to tap on ‘view all scenes’
If they’re not appearing there, did you definitely do the discover devices step in the tutorial?
I’ve already managed to get a flow working with Alexa, but the flow has to start with start, otherwise I can’t see the flow with Alexa.
Thanks for your help, Jonathan_Draper
Well done figuring it out. I didn’t think of that. Yes for advanced flows to be triggered directly (rather than by some event associated with a when card in the flow) they have to have a start ‘button’ added. As you’ve probably found, that doesn’t stop you having when cards as well in the same flow.
