[APP][Pro] Amazon - Alexa

Still working for me.Also on EU servers.
I always have todo an app restart after any install.

569

I also tried this, already. Unfortunately without success.

Edit: Just found a solution. I disconnected the app from my account via the settings page and reconnected it. Suddenly my devices start working again.

Does anyone have the Bose500 Speakers with Alexa? If not, i woud try to find out the things you need. Because i am inexperienced it will take some time…

571

@Seraphim Regardless of what server you connect to, your devices will always show up. They may just not work. Can you confirm that the server is EU? Im a little concerned as ‘settings’ page directly calls the exact same code as elsewhere in the system, so I don’t know why you experience the problem.

@azid can you confirm that the play/pause album art /artist etc all work for mono speakers on Sonos?

572

Dear Jamie,

I am sure, that I have chosen then EU Server because the devices worked.I am not really sure when the stopped working, after the reboot or after one of the updates. As I wrote, I have tried to delete the devices and re-adding them, I have uninstalled the whole app and I tried a restart of the app itself. The only thing that seemed to work was the disconnection of my account and the reconnect on the settings page.

Regards
Andreas

Thank you for taking the time to test each function @azid

3.2.700 has been released to test.

“3.2.501”: “Fixes minor name issue”
“3.2.502”: “Updates available flows for third party items.”
“3.2.600”: “Adds new flow for reporting Good News Stories.”
“3.2.601” :: “Removed media capabilties from Sonos One and Sonos Beam.”
“3.2.700”: : “Adds generic support for the Gigaset L800HX.” Thanks @lirand

@lirand can you please go through all of the ‘features’ and let me know which ones don’t work for the L800HX. Please make sure you test the music play/pause/next/albulm art etc. When you are not in a group as well as each of the options for the flows - such as announce, whisper, etc.

If someone could let me know if this version of the sonos is now :+1:

Thanks

@Jamie , Would you be so kind to add the Echo Show 8 to your wonderfull app?
The report id is: a4ab82d9-1ee2-467f-ae85-ab04f2789421
The power supply is 30watts
Image looks the same as an Echo Show 5 so can that image be used?

Do you need more information from me? please let me know
Thank you in advance :slight_smile:

Test with Sonos One Gen2 Mono with V3.2.700:

Flows Cards:

#Play Music (Spotify): :white_check_mark: (it works, but there is no way to stop the music with the app, would it be better not to offer this card? )
#Set volume to: :white_check_mark:
#Today’s Calendar: :white_check_mark:
#Set “do not distrub” mode: :x: (Sorry, I didn’t test that last time)
#Fun with Alexa: :white_check_mark:
#Phrases: :x:
#Alexa Reports: :white_check_mark:
#Trigger Routine: :white_check_mark:
#Alexa Says: :white_check_mark:

583

Is it possible to group Alexa devices and trigger them together with one flow card to say something?

THX

584

@Joka : You would have to create a flow with multiple cards. While I could do it with code, it would be a similar effect. Which as far as I am concerned is subpar when compared to the native announce.

@lirand can you please just double check that you are connected to the right server, from your report it looks like no commands at all are working, which seems unlikely. - Thanks

@Ron_van_Muilekom : Ill need assets in order to add it.

Thanks @azid

@dieter2005 you will have to host the files in a One drive or something then send me a link.
If you restart your alexa app, await 2 minutes and then send me a diagnostic log with your forum name and the name of the device which is a studio. I should be able to work out the studio’s ID

Hi @Jamie ,(or anyone who can help)
How do i get the asset?
I restarted the app, and waited 1 minute before generating report

587

Hmmm, what am I doing wrong here…
Connected to my account and added three gen.2 echo dots.
I can click on an echo dot and play music but with no audible output.
Swiping to the volume-screen is okay, but tapping + and - does nothing, which is quite logical when there’s no audible output. I DO see that level go up or down when I press + or - on the dedicated echo dot!
Swiping to the reports is ok, but clicking on one of them has no audible output.

Anyone experienced the same? I have been waiting a long time for this app, let’s make it work!

588

Hi @RonnO ,
Did you select the right server for your account?
If your account is EU, dont select US server inside the app.

Hope this helps.
