I am having a strange problem with Alexa and Smartthings. A few days ago I noticed that my ‘Sunrise’ and ‘Sunset’ routines in Alexa didn’t appear to be working.
I have since noticed that they are actually working, its just the Smartthings devices in the routines are not woking. All other devices (the Ikea bulbs for example) are switching on/off.
The weird thing is that voice control and app control of those devices from Alexa work just fine. They also work if put in an ST scene and the routine runs the ST scene. It will just not operate the device directly.
Its just my Fibaro switches, FGS223 (dual switch) and 212 (dimmer). I have managed to work around it for now by doing all the routines in the ST app and setting them up as scenes that Alexa can call from Routines. But they are pretty basic at the moment.
I am not using any of my ST sensors in Alexa Routines yet - however I want to (virtual as well) so will be affected by this skill issue
Thanks for the link to the other thread - I had not come across it but it definitely describes my problem.
I’ve edited your thread title since it’s not smartthings brand devices that you are having trouble with, but rather Fibaro devices controlled by smartthings.
Unfortunately, that is a known problem since the Alexa skill was updated recently
There’s nothing weird about that, the glitches were very specific. In particular, there were some problems with Fibaro devices and there were problems with child devices. But see the other thread, it goes into details.
