thinslis Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 My Audio triggers and Lights are working just fine. Anything that has programming not Audio I get "XYZ does not support that". I'm using the Control4 Voice scene driver. I'm sure it's something simple, any help would be appreciated. Example: Alexa turn on Fireplace... returns "Fireplace does not support that"... The programming has Turn Fireplace switch On as the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippavisual Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 You need to specify which room. So if fireplace is listed under living room," Alexa, turn on Living Room fireplace" Search around the forum. The exact phrases have been written out on these forums plenty of times.

thinslis Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 That wasn't it. Control4 restricts some things that Alexa can do. Once you tie the Fireplace switch to a voice scene, it is flagged as Prohibited and blocked from Alexa. I think the same is true for the security system. As soon as I linked my alarm to a voice scene it was flagged prohibited. I was trying to set it to turn the house off and arm the alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippavisual Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It can be programmed around that. If thats the functionality you're looking for, it all depends how the fireplace is hooked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I would guess that if you run a macro from the voice scene and control the fireplace (or alarm) from the macro that will sort the problem. Or maybe not (I've never bothered trying this), maybe big brother is smart enough to stop that (but do you really want to do this and have Alexa misinterpret something someone says elsewhere in the house and turn the fire on in summer when someone has left a newspaper on top of it...)?
