Shade devices not recognized by Alexa


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have 2 types of shades in my home. I have qMotion shades as well as Axis Gear shade controllers. With the appropriate drivers,  Control4 recognizes them no problem.

My issue is related to Amazon Alexa. I have a 4Sight subscription and I'm able to control via voice command to control lights, fans, etc. I can say "Turn on kitchen lights 60%" for example.

I'd like to be able to say something like "Raise family room shades 50%" for example.

Since Alexa doesn't recognize the shades (at least I haven't found a way), I used the C4 voice driver to create many voice command scenes, which Alexa recognizes. I can say"

"Alexa, Turn on Family Room shades" (open shades 100%)

"Alexa, Turn off Family Room shades" (closes shades)

But unless I write many more commands to support various specific levels, its a pain to support a general shade opening percentages like I can do with lights/dimmers, fans, etc.

For those of you who have Axis Gear of qMotion, how did you address this situation?

thanks in advance.
