Amazon Echo Discussion / Re: alexa app missing items
« Last post by KyleMW on December 23, 2023, 09:36:52 am »
For Groups you need to go to the the new "Devices" page and up in the top right corner is "See More".  That will take you to the old-style "Groups" page where you can add groups etc.

"Scenes" on the other hand have gone missing.  I'm finding that if I add scenes to a room or zone in the Philips Hue App, they will eventually show up in Alexa.  I have not tried removing a scene.  The only way you can get at Scenes in Alexa, at the moment, is to add one as a line item in a routine.

To get them to bring back the "Scenes" page everyone needs to go to the "Help & Feedback" page in the Alexa App and use the "email" option, as they don't pay any attention to these or other forums.

Since they changed the app on ios I can no longer find my Groups or my Scenes.  If I go to try to add a group they sort of show up but I can't just find them neither in devices or settings.  I thought about deleting the app and reinstalling but is all my settings backed up in the cloud or do I have to redo everything?

you can give the command  - Alexa, drop in on (name of the device) if you want a specific device.    I am not sure if you can do several at once other than all of them.

Amazon Echo Discussion / messaging specific Alexa devices
« Last post by lark03 on December 22, 2023, 09:22:31 pm »
this is going to be a bit long winded so please excuse the length and any confusion but i have recently changed all the Alexa devices in my household so they can all be easily controlled under one account,

i have set up profiles for each family member, my question is is it possible to group together selected Alexa devices to receive calls and messages (for example i want to message/call my dad it will only send the message/call to the Alexa devices in the Livingroom and his bedroom)

i have tried making a group which includes multiple rooms / Alexa devices in hopes that i can call the group and it would call every Alexa device in said group (the Livingroom and bedroom) but it appears to only call one device?

and if i was to send a message to my dads profile the message notification would appear on all devices in the house which i do not, want i only wish for it to message his bedroom/ the living room.

i have managed to set up each individual room in the house as a group so i can call them individually just not multiple rooms at the same time

I'm wondering if this is possible with Alexa's at all??

I found on my Android, if I go to the Alexa app, click on More, then the Follow Updates tile, there's a gear icon in the upper right. When I clicked on that, it took me to the setting that shows what interests I'm following and I could turn them off to stop the announcements.

I have a routine when I say goodnight it turns off all interior lights. I added to the routine to wait 10 minutes then turn on motion sensor scene. Then I made another routine to turn off scene at sunrise but scene stays enabled all the time.

Short answer: yes

Long answer:

Routine:

When (sensor) detects motion
Every Day (or selected days of week)
2030-0700 (or your selected times)

(scene) on

Then you may wish to set up a second routine to turn things off again unless you use a "Wail" command in the first routine to turn things off again.  I find this gives me more flexability

When (sensor) does not detect motion for 5 (user selectable) minutes
Every Day (or other - see above)
2030-0700

(scene) off

I have a scene with a motion sensor that will turn on a light when triggered. I only want the scene enabled at night time and disabled during the day. can a routine accomplish this?
