Qubino Broken in new Alexa skill

[coronamike50]

I enabled the New Alexa Skill yesterday and after some effort got most everything working again as it should, except for my Qubino 2 relays. They all worked fine before the switch. I have three of them and all now have the same issue. Now, only the "parent’ device shows up in Alexa, but not the two individual “child” devices. In the new Smarthings App, the child devices show up, but they now show the “broken cloud” symbol and don’t work. I still have the Classic Smarthings App on my phone and the child devices DO show up there and operate (on,off) as they should. IDE shows the devices as online and all looks normal there. The old Alexa Skill is disabled and I have removed and rediscovered my devices twice. I also logged out of the Smarthings app and logged back in with no effect. I have not tried excluding/including them again as they are a PITA to access, but don’t think that’s the problem as they are working fine in the Classic App. Also trying to avoid going back to the old Alexa Skill because I had to redo all my Alexa Routines when I switched over. Is this possibly a conflict with the new Alexa Skill, or is there something I haven’t thought to check in my setup?

Child devices are broken in the new Alexa skill.

Being discussed in the big thread:

New SmartThings Alexa skill (2020)

My understanding is that support for child devices is also going away in the new V3 app, which is why there are so many posts about fibaro double switches not working, So I’m not sure if they are planning on fixing that for Alexa or not.

That would mean the DTH for the Qubino would have to be Rewritten to not use child devices.

Thank you much JD. My suspicions confirmed…

Hi @JDRoberts, can you point me to more info on that? The child devices for my Aqara double rockers work in both the new app and Alexa. I know the Alexa thing is hit or miss with some folks, but the new app reference is one I don’t recall.

I know it’s being discussed with regard to Fibaro, i’ll see if I can pull a thread for you.

Ah, yeah if it’s Fibaro specific then I probably skipped over that discussion.

It’s not just Fibaro. Here’s one regarding the stock zwave multichannel DTH:

Generic Multichannel Z-Wave devices stopped working with new SmartThings app

So, we were recently forced onto the new SmartThings app since SmartThings Classic stopped working entirely. I have a generic multichannel zwave device (well several of them) that has been setup and working for years in the SmartThings Class app. What I have is a Z-Wave relay with 2 channels, connected to a pair of light switches. In the classic app, it would show the main device and the two child devices allowing me to control individually or together. This was using the Generic Z-Wave Multichannel DTH. In the new SmartThings app, I only see the parent device. When I try to switch it on, nothing happens. In the IDE, it still shows the child devices and the association. I looked through the community threads, but all seemed to be about specific branded devices where the brand provided …

Lol, I probably skipped that too since mine are zigbee… j/k. My Aqara double rockers use a ST stock child DTH called “Child Switch Health Power”. I may poke around in those discussions to see what’s up.

Good point, maybe It’s just a zwave issue.
