Can I get some help with changing colours on Philiops Hue bulbs please? I have setup a profile called LivingRoom which has Group Coloured Lights setup with 2 Philips Hue bulbs. I have created a profile with the name living room and in the intent schema and Sample Utterances the name is displayed as LivingRoom (the same as the app) and also the main intent LIST_OF_PROFILES has LivingRoom listed out.
When I enter the following test text: āchange the colour blue in the LivingRoomā I get an error message of:
{
āresponseā: {
āoutputSpeechā: {
ātypeā: āPlainTextā,
ātextā: "Sorry, I wasnāt able to change the color to change the color blue in the LivingRoom, would you like to try again? "
},
ācardā: {
ācontentā: "Sorry, I wasnāt able to change the color to change the color blue in the LivingRoom, would you like to try again? ",
ātitleā: āEchoSistant Try Againā,
ātypeā: āSimpleā
},
āshouldEndSessionā: false
},
āsessionAttributesā: {}
}
Forget about the testā¦It looks like you were trying to test from the Main Skill. And also when controling Profiles, you donāt need to update anything on the Amazon side, no slots or utteranceā¦
Just say: Alexa set (change) the color to blue in the Living Room

You can delete the list of profiles from your main custom skills.

No, there isnāt. The Security suite is a child app of EchoSistant and will not run on its own. Sorry.
added ability to select which state you would like to be notified for each capability (For example: on, off, or both for switches; open, close, or both for contacts, etc)
I actually got it to work without fully setting up the echosistant. I installed the main smart app and then the security child app. In the echosistant I created a profile and only selected my garage door as a device. Then I set up the security suite app. Would say error if I didnāt set up the keypad in all the areas not just the bottom part for garage. But in the end it works. Im assuming because its a child app I canāt see security suite app in my smartapps list after configured but I can find it if I just go to the smartapps tab on the keyoad itself.
Just thought I would share this with you.

Ok, thanks.
You do need to install the Messaging and Control Profile. That one is required and gives you a lot of power with the app.
You will not see the child apps in your list of apps.
You open the ST mobile App, tap on Automation at the bottom, then tap on SmartApps, then scroll down and tap on EchoSistant.
You access the child apps via the main EchoSistant app.
You only go to the list in the market place to install appsā¦ not to create or modify child apps
Ya I was wondering what seperates it from a simple button press. I have read how individual presses donāt register but codes followed a setting like on or off do. Could be used for things like a mail Dropbox that unlocks to last 4 digest of package number and then relocks when closed and code is burned. I was wondering if you would be willing to share how you changed the code to allow garage doors at all? Was hoping to modify the original lock manager code to integrate into codes I already have set up. Just thought I would ask.

I can actually set it up so that you can use anywhere from a single digit to 8 digits for the code. I will expand it to run routines, other child apps in Echosistant, and switches, and possibly other devices. Itās going to take some time to do that as there are a couple of other thing ahead of itā¦ give a week or so.
I have reached out to @ethayer, since this is actually his original code that he has graciously allowed me to modify and embed into Echosistant. If he wishes to add it in, that is up to himā¦ but, you can look at the security suite module code in your API and see everythingā¦ it starts around line 970.
Do your thing!! Thanks for the prompt responses and amazing work!! People like you are what makes this community awesome! Thanks again and keep up the great stuff!! Iāll be watching and updating my system as you make more updates.

āThe forecast is ā¦ā
Nothing came up in the live logging for the āforecastā request.
Also one of my profiles is asking for prompts to continue, and I canāt seem to disable it. I know Iāve done it on other profiles, but I canāt find the setting anymoreā¦
