ComposerHE - Echo Driver (epic-systems)

[Topfox]

Hey everyone,

Been trying to play around with the Amazon Echo Driver from Epic Systems.  Im trying to use the set command to basically choose the input for a tv.  For example Alexa set TV to Xbox, or Alexa set TV to Cable 1.  I created a listing of all the commands with a condition for each command, however it doesn't appear to be setting the command as a sub to the condition. See attached image.  Im new to programming in C4, so if someone can give me a pointer that would be great.  Wondering if I am either doing this in the wrong place, or if I am just missing a check box or something.

Ive been able to get simple things working like Alexa Turn (On/Off) Lights.

Thanks!

Correct. Otherwise the ‘if’ does nothing!

Still trying to actually get this to work however. Still can't get the Alexa Driver to swap inputs like I want.  It will say I don't know how to set TV Cable Box 1 to that setting, when I tell it Alexa Set TV to Cable Box 1.

When I do the debug I never see the Set trigger actually log.  Should I be saying it differently?  If I do Alexa Set TV to 10 it recognizes that, but for that I am using SET Value Number instead of Set Value String

a lot more work, but I was able to get this working using Alexa Routines and a lot more trigger entries in the Alexa Driver

Did you 'discover devices' with Alexa each time you added triggers to the epic driver?

They will show up as 'Hue Drivers'.

Also - changes with C4 and/or Alexa disrupted the epic driver and certain older versions of C4 no longer work with the epic driver.
