Thanks for this great app, it works like a charme for me
I have a question regarding the Condition above, you crossed out the text. What does it mean? We won’t have this condition? Or you’ll develop another equivalent condition?
It’s not currently available, but it was in the past and I can add it again in the future.
I just feel like it will create more confusion then it’s worth.

Re the ring, it must be a setting somewhere, I have a spot and show.g2 and my ring doesn’t automatically show up. I know of a setting in the Alexa app where you can have Alexa announce when motion is detected, perhaps it’s around there?

Sounds like there is some issue with the app reconnecting to Alexa after a scheduled soft restart, odd as the same token I create should just reconnect…
But I don’t have the power user option enabled for homey and I Don’t Schedule restarts … I would suggest disabling the restart and see if that fixes the issue.

To the person who’s connect only last 10 minutes (sorry on my mobile), how reliable is your internet connection?
Thanks Jamie. I have looked around there and I have the announce options turned on but there are no other settings that I can see. Alexa does tell me someone is at the door but I don’t get the live stream unless I ask for it. Maybe I will try removing the device and the skill and add them back in again just in case it is an update issue.
Anyway, I don’t want to hijack your topic anymore as this has moved away from a request for your app.
Hello Jamie, thanks for your update.
It’s just to know which Alexa device is telling something, as I have several devices. That will allow me to create generic Alexa routines, for instance, close / open the shutter, without specifying the name of the room where the shutter is located. And depending on Alexa device, the specific shutter should be closed/opened.
Please make sure you are connected to the correct server … if you connect to the wrong one - your text to speech will not work.
Interesting use case though that condition was “when you say x to Alexa” eg. when Alexa hears “Alexa it’s dancing time “ - I guess it could be “by device” “when echo bedroom hears good night”
Hi there, mine also did not work for a while, although I am in the Netherlands, I had to put it on North America to make it work again. It worked before on the eu server, but after a few weeks it stoped working, changing the server made it work again…
Managed to get this working eventually using a different phone. Seems that something was invisibly crashing when I was connecting to Alexa on the other phone which restarted the app. Assumed this was just default behaviour as everything appeared to work correctly
On the other phone it seems to work correctly and a quick test now works
@Jamie you seem to be missing the Echo Show 8 (I added the large one but the 8 doesn’t appear in any category) - any reason for this?
The server you Alexa devices are connected to is unrelated to your physical location. For example I’m in Australia and my devices are attached to the US server.
@vaderag can you give me more details about which device you were unable to connect with? Might be a bug in the athom app.
Too bad, the app does not work with my Sonos One.
The app has to be restarted again and again (no need to disconnect and reconnect your account!). And after a restart, you can only hear the voice at the second flow. Alexa (Sonos One) stays silent at the first flow.
I have a Sonos One but don’t see it as a supported Alexa device in the app on the app store. So haven’t tried it yet.
Are you using the app from the store?
Still waiting for Alexa to talk Dutch, if it will ever happen…
