bOS + Amazon Echo (Alexa)

Hello everyone,


Been testing Amazon Alexa here in Portugal with bOS, and so far so good.


I've noticed that in the first instructions (with bOS beta version) it says that we needed to create a VirtualLight or whatever as a reference to the Appliance, but I've tried to create the Appliance and add the reference of the direct circuit and it works.


Does anyone know why there are so few References in bOS Alexa integration? (ON OFF, Door, Percentage, Target temperature, Thermometer reference). Is it a limitation from Amazon?


I'm looking to do something like "lower up the office shutter", instead of using percentage for example...

Dear Sirs, good afternoon!


I'm in need of help integrating my bOS devices with Amazon Alexa.


I have already performed all the necessary tasks as instructed on the ComfortClick website (www.comfortclick.com/alexa), but when I click to discover the devices within the Alexa settings, nothing is found! It's as if there is no Comfort Server in my network. However, Comfortclick is working perfectly (Client, Server, Configurator). Alexa is also up and running on my network perfectly.

What could be happening ??? Why do not the devices appear in the "Smart Home / Devices" section when I click on 'DISCOVER' ??? Nothing appears, nothing is found!

Thanks in advance for your attention, I am waiting for a return.

Hello Mário Perón,

are you sure that your server is accessible via public IP?

Right now your server is offline and we cannot check it.

Hi,

using "down/up" and "start" is not supported by Smart Home Skill API, so it's not possible for us to add those words.

hi, is it possible to change "Alexa turn on/off the "Blinds" to Alexa move down/up the "Blinds" ? also I need Alexa start the "Fireplace", instead of Alexa turn on the Fireplace :) on/off sounds very poor :)

You can only install it on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, not IoT Core.

Unfortunately you can't...


Linux version of the server is only freely available for Microsoft Windows. For Linux is only available in their hardware (Jigsaw)
