me23 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Been working fine for awhile. Noticed the other day my "house lockdown" trigger, which locks the doors and arms the security system, is no longer responding to a "start" command. It will work with "turn on" but when you say "start house lockdown", alexa says house lockdown isn't responding. I deleted it and re added but same issue. Anyone else experience this? version 110 driver, OS 2.10.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfh Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 AFAIK, the driver itself only supports ON, OFF, UP, DOWN, and SET commands being used with the triggers. Any other synonyms are governed by the lighting control in the Alexa platform. My guess is that Amazon made a change, possibly removing START and STOP as command words allowed for lighting control (which is what the ES driver any many other skills use) This wouldn’t be the first time Amazon has done something similar (if in fact it’s because of an Amazon change) You could get around this by defining an Alexa Routine in the Alexa ap. Have the trigger phrase be “Start House Lockdown” and have the routine turn house lockdown on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me23 Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Yeah, the epic driver uses other commands such as start, run, arm, etc. for the on command. So it must have been an amazon change. I totally forgot about routines. Thanks, it works doing it that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
