Duplicate device with plugin Alexa #147

Open vzlgdu opened 3 years ago

vzlgdu commented 3 years ago

Hi, I'm using your plugin and the Alexa plugin; in my network I used a DECT200 that is normally discovered creating two devices: one outlet and one temperature sensor (also if I set false in the config...); the problem is that the Alexa plugin discovers two devices named DECT200 generating an error (this happen also if I rename one of this in the Alexa app). Is there a solution to avoid the error message? Thanks

Hi!

This could also be configured in the Alexa Plugin configuration.

I have the situation for some cameras and for all those I have a section in the combine:

"combine": [ { "into": "Kamera Flur", "from": [ "Kamera Flur" ] },...

for the temp sensors I have disabled them, hence not the issue for Alexa

"xxxxxxx": { "TemperatureSensor": false },

Hi, I’ve disabled the temp sensor, but it is always discovered:

}, "outlet-1": { "TemperatureSensor": false }

About the solution using “combine” in Alexa plugin, I don’t understand how should be configured, because two devices was discovered: Outlet and Temperature, but both with the name DECT200…

Hi!

You need to replace "outlet-1" with the ID of your device. The outlet-1 is just a placeholder. Otherwise it does not work.

Regarding Alex, this works on a name basis hence the combine would fix the issue if they have both the same name.

Sorry, but if I left ”outlet-1” it is ok and the device was discovered with no issues:

About this: “Regarding Alex, this works on a name basis hence the combine would fix the issue if they have both the same name.”, could, please, explain better ho should I configure in config.json to solve my problem? Thanks

My cameras (like the DEC200) publish more than one feature in HomeKit. But Alexa only allows one feature per named device. Hence if you have e.g. a Temp Sensor and a switch with the same name, Alexa gets confused. So you have to tell in the configuration for the Alexa Plugin to merge those with the same name into one. This achieved by the Combine section of the Alexa configuration. for you then something like this, see more details in the Alexa homebridge plugin help.

"combine": [ { "into": "DECT200", "from": [ "DECT200" ] }

For the fritz plugin you have to replace "Outlet-1" with your device id. Like this:

 "087610048016": {
                "TemperatureSensor": false
            }

only then it really does what you want it to do.

Ok, applied both configurations; problem solved!

Thanks a lot for your support!
