Describe Your Problem:

Alexa accessories start and then fail as unsupported devices. Surely they aren't?

Hi @rebelyon! Thanks for reaching out. I thought I had added a section in the README about this but alas had not. Currently, only lightbulbs are supported. I added a section to the README. I will also improve the log messaging since those devices are not actually being added at that point.

What specific device types would you like to see supported? I can add them to the roadmap and, depending on votes/feedback from others, can prioritize the most requested devices.

[rebelyon]

Hey Joey,

Thanks for the reply. At least the only lightbulb I tried to add worked perfectl so thank you for that.

It’s the Echo Dots I’m really after but thank you for what you’re doing anyway.

Kindest,

Jake Aslam

Glad to hear the lightbulb worked! You're the first to report feedback so I really appreciate that. What features of an Echo Dot would you like to control via HomeKit?

[canny[bot]]

This issue has been linked to a Canny post: Add support for Echo devices :tada:

[rebelyon]

Jeez dude, I hope you get more feedback soon, I guess it could be quite dispiriting otherwise,

As far as the dots go it’s mainly just hoping I could say Siri commands at it for music and reminders and so one. I’m not really even sure if it’s possible, just hopeful !!

I just released the plugin a few days ago so I'm actually surprised to see over 1,000 downloads already.

I will see what I can do! Thanks again for the feedback.

[rebelyon]

I’m not surprised by the amount of downloads as it’s a very popular concept.I am surprised by the lack of interaction though. Hopefully it will get much better. Bon chance, Mon ami and thank you again.

Please add Thermostat support! Congratulations for your work.

[joeyhage]

Hi @sebaslag, thanks for the feedback. Please submit your request on the feedback site and I will consider it with the other requests.

[joeyhage]

Support for controlling Echo media was added in v0.2.0. Feedback (positive and constructive) is welcome!
