Dear all, today I have installed a Fibaro Walli Switch switch and managed to add it to Homey through secured connection. The switch is connected to two loads
When I tried to have the switch on Alexa to command the respective lights I just cannot find the device on Alexa.
I tried multiple times to enable and disable Homey skill for Alexa as this fixed other similar issues in the past … but not this time.
I also tried to remove and re-add the walli switch but still no show in Alexa devices. All other homey devices I have are showing up in Alexa.
It is quite important for me to know if walli switch is recognised by Alexa because I am about to invest to convert all my switches in the house (both single load and double load) to walli switch but would be important to know if this is not compatible with Alexa and what I should do to make it so.
Hi Peter, thanks a lot…i will try your virtual dimmer solution.
I have contacted Homey support and they have confirmed that at the moment Walli Switch is the only device that does not interface to Alexa with Homey. They are working on it but unsure when and if they will deliver a solution.
They have offered a workaround with flows which could probably work and i am going to try it tonight…together with your virtual dimmer…thanks a lot!!
Peter, this app is FANTASTIC. By creating a virtual device I solved my issues and this is great.
It has a lot more potential than I am using at the moment but it has been a terrific discovery!
Thanks a lot
Another fun part of AVD (advanced virt… …) is, you can ‘clone’ them, and then just alter the name and the selected walli dimmer after cloning
This way you can create AVD’s for all Walli’s quite quickly.
You can export a functional AVD to code, save the code as a plain text file (the code is called TEF: The Exchanger File)
Go to Maintenance > Try to Repair
Then you’ll see this
Hi Peter, in fairness, only Walli Switch does not currently work with Alexa. All other Walli devices do. However, since I have the majority of my switches as walli switch this was quite of a problem which got solved brillantly by your solution.
Thanks a lot for the additional hints on cloning virtual devices. This is also very helpful.
I also think the AVD app can be helpful to create groups of devices such as all the blinds for ground floor and other groups like that which will also help in making future flows more efficient by the use of less flow cards
I wish you a very good day and we will sure continue be in touch!
but it is the name of a range of devices appearantly
