Humidity devices not visible with Home Assistant Cloud ALEXA

[malosaa]

The problem

Dunno if i can put this issue here, as it happens in Home assistant itself. I did find some older posts from 2020, so i do ask this question here.

After hours/days of problems with the free dns service, i did follow balloob his advice to switch to Home Assistant Cloud. I ditched google and went full Alexa.

Now there is a problem, the humidity devices are not visible, or discovered in the selection menu in Home Assistant. i'm using Aqara devices and 1 mqtt Humid device.

I really need the humid devices.

The devices work normal in home assistant, and did in google last time. And are normal visible in home assistant itself.

No logs available, its happening in the selection menu.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2022.10.5

Hey there @home-assistant/cloud, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (cloud) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

Code owner commands

Code owners of `cloud` can trigger bot actions by commenting: - `@home-assistant close` Closes the issue. - `@home-assistant rename Awesome new title` Change the title of the issue. - `@home-assistant unassign cloud` Removes the current integration label and assignees on the issue, add the integration domain after the command.

It seems the humidifier domain is currently not available yet. https://www.nabucasa.com/config/amazon_alexa/

i think that page is not update yet. because here https://www.nabucasa.com/config/google_assistant/ humidifier its not available in the list but it is available.

The current code base doesn't support humidifiers yet. I am working on a solution.

Do you see the humidifier entities in Home Assistant , and do they work correctly?

Linked PR would add support for humidifiers in Alexa (power on/off, set target humidity percentage, and set mode).

@jbouwh

yes i see the humidity devices in home assistant and they work. I always used them in google assistant.

But i switched to Alexa and they did not show up.

Well thanks if its added i will test it.

any idea when it gets implemented to test it out ? Regards

The linked PR needs a review of a developer first, this can take some time.

Humidity devices still not showing up.

[malosaa]

What i did notice is that all my humidity sensors not showing up after the last beta.

But these are showing up, just a trend code.

binary_sensor:
  - platform: trend
    sensors:
      humid_rising_bathroom:
        entity_id: sensor.bathroomdev_humidity
        sample_duration: 180
        max_samples: 10
        min_gradient: 0.016
        device_class: moisture

      humid_falling_bathroom:
        entity_id: sensor.bathroomdev_humidity
        sample_duration: 180
        max_samples: 10
        min_gradient: -0.016
        device_class: moisture

I think device_class: humidity needs to be added instead of device_class: moisture As my aqara sensors are device_class: humidity

@malosaa Feel free to open a new issue, the items you are working with seem to be sensors, not humidifiers.
