@michbeck100: Would it be possible to let the echo play a sound triggert by pimatic to use it eg. as a doorbell?

@OrTiN no. Currently it’s not possible to send any events to Alexa by 3rd party software. Maybe someday…

@OrTiN you can try this device here
https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/3290/kerui-m8-rf-doorbell-and-alarm-device
with that, you are able to use a sd card and customise your own doorbell sound via mp3 file.

you can pair alexa via bluetooth with an android device, set a static ip, install LANnouncer and send something like
... execute "curl \"192.168.0.128:1035/?SPEAK=@|ALARM=CHIME&SPEAK=The door rings&@DONE@\""
to the phone.

Okay thx, seems to be a way to handle it. Better would be to couple the echo via BT with RPi directly. But I will try it. Currently I have a mini speaker connected to the raspberry it works but I like to have only one speaker (the echo) at the end…

Got my Alexa Echo 2 this week. Today I tried to bring it together with my Pimatic. The installation of the plugin was okay and I activated echo on some devices. Unfortunately the search with Echo brought no results. Do I need the Hue skill to make it working?
-
@ortin it seems that Amazon changed something on the new echos. See https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-echo/pull/28

@ortin oh, and I’m still working on it. I hope to get this fixed this weekend. Since I don’t have a new echo I will need some beta testers

@ortin Time for some testing. Please try the latest version on GitHub. Now, pimatic-echo differentiates between dimmable lights and switches. Lights are shown as Hue light and switches are shown as Wemo switches. This way it’s not possible anymore to “dim” a switch.

@kosta Please try the latest version. The error should be gone. Are you using the new echo? Would be great if I get feedback for this, too.

I cloned the latest master to my raspberry. The plugin gets activated, but not loaded. Is it correct, that now the IP and mac is part of the plugin config?
-
@ortin IP address and MAC can be optionally configured, yes. If you are using multiple network interfaces and piratic-echo chooses the wrong one.
Do you have some more information what exactly is not working. “Not loaded” is a little small

For me the version works. The problem is away. Bulbs and heaters are switch and dimmable.
I have only a echo dot first generation -
I mean the state in the plugin overview. I can see the plugin is activated, but not in state loaded. Witt the official version the plugin get loaded as usual.
Due to the not loaded plugin I’m not able to activate “echo” for any device, even it is already part of the config. At pimatic startup many errors are shown in the log.error: Invalid config of device "garagentorkontakt-links": Property "echo" is not a valid property

@ortin thats not an error, please read https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/3284/how-to-get-echo-to-valid-property/19

What is the response when you try to dim a lamp to 0 or 100%?
-
What du you mean? Alexa says “OK” and the lamp where dimmed.
