Looks neat: [image] Amazon.com: Amazon Echo - Black (1st Generation): Amazon Devices Amazon Echo is a hands-free speaker you control with your voice. Echo connects to the Alexa Voice Service to play music, provide information, news, sports scores, weather, and more—instantly. All you .…

@luma I’m no coder myself. But I’m thinking if you edit the app Where it says switch.on change it to switch.Off And change the other line switch.Off to switch.On The logic will be reversed the way you want it… Of course you will have to change the verbiage so it makes sense in the app

@luma The more I think about this, I’m thinking you will have to have the app reversed if someone manualy opens the lock, but another copy of this app not reversed in case someone manualy locks the door… It’s hurting my head thinking about it. I don’t think that will cause a loop?

I took a slightly different tack in the code but with a couple key changes the logic now works the way I like. This is super convoluted, but it seems to work reliably in both directions. I can send commands from Alexa and operate the lock locally and both sides of the equation stay in sync and com…

@luma I was working on something similar for my Harmony Hub. I created 2 virtual switches, one for turning things on and one for turning things off. I put both of these in a group inside of the Alexa app. I then created 2 apps to immediately turn the switches off or on to reset their status. So the …

I have been looking for a use case that would force me to figure out how to write a SmartApp, and I guess this was it. The solution I worked out above just seemed like way too many layers of kludge to accomplish a simple task. I mostly copy and pasted from template code in the IDE to get this goin…

I know this is for a physical switch syncing to a virtual switch but you are a coder and see if this will do any help. [image] Virtual Switch that follows the state of Physical Switch Connected Things Apologies if this has been answered before: I Physical Switches for whi…

@luma This works great!! A bonus feature is (for users worried about someone yelling in an open window to unlock doors when they are away) you can set your app to only work in certain modes. So away mode won’t allow Alexa to unlock the doors. Great solution! Thanks for sharing!

I have the new ST Hub V2, the Schlage Camelot Connect Z-Wave Touchscreen Deadbolt w/ Built-In Alarm, and the Amazon Echo. This is my first dive into home automation and have ZERO prior experience or knowledge. My vision was to bring these three things so together so that I can lock and unlock my fr…

Just wanted to add you don’t have to link/unlink in the Alexa app every time you add a device in order to get Echo to see it. In SmartThings App, you should have an Amazon Echo SmartApp after the initial link where your new device (physical or virtual switch) can be selected. At that point a discove…

I was very excited to hear about Amazon Echo integration with ST. I’ve been using Ubi for voice commands to ST and while it works, it’s pretty limited in terms of understanding… you need idea circumstances to really get Ubi to hear you correctly. Echo is supposed to be light years better in terms …
