Thanks!

For those having Alexa integration reliability problems: I’ve whipped up a new driver to test a theory that the combination switch+contact sensor could be problematic now for some reason. This driver takes a different approach so we can test if a contact-only device is more reliable as an Alexa trigger. It will take several of you trying this over a period of time to see if it proves to be more reliable. For those willing to give this a shot, instructions below: Go to my test driver channel and choose to install ‘Alexa Multi-Trigger v0.1’. Once available on your hub, do an Add device / Scan for nearby devices and a new device called “Alexa Multi-Trigger” will be created. Open this new device and you’ll see slots for 19 triggers - each with a name you can edit and a switch. Once yo…
