Echo dot 5th generation

[BOB_M]

Hi. Good evening.
May I ask, when will be the Echo dot of the 5th generation supported? What is planned?
I can’t add these 5th generation devices at the moment.
Thx for your help

Hi, try using the experimental Alexa app (Amazon Alexa App for Homey | Homey). When adding the Alexa device, select experimental and see if it finds your device.

I really don’t recommend doing that, next release your device and flows are likely to stop working.

Hi Jamie.

Thx for your reply and your recommendation.
Before I should to use the beta version, I would ask you following.
Jamie, is it planned to add to your Homey App in the next few weeks, months the improvement for Echo dot of the 5th generation maybe?

Thx for your support.

Not sure, amazon have their September event later in the month I don’t have any plans to move to their monthly subscription model for their LLM but if new hardware it triggers a cheap dot 5s I may grab one. (though the standard echo is still running gen4, so I suspect it will be that). Before anyone asks I am aware that there is also the new Athom Dashboards as to whether or not Ill add a dashboard widget for this app … Not sure, not really doing homey development at the moment …

I’m trying to add my Echo Dot 5th Generation to my Homey Pro (2023) but it doesn’t seem to be fully supported yet. The Homey Amazon Alexa app doesn’t recognize the device properly.

Does anyone know if there’s an update planned or a workaround to get the Echo Dot 5th Gen working with Homey?

Thanks in advance for any insights!
