Support new generations 2 and 3 #64

Closed mat1990dj closed 5 years ago

mat1990dj commented 5 years ago

It would be great to support gen 2 and gen 3 devices without having a gen 1 to search the devices. What is the limitation?

michbeck100 commented 5 years ago

AFAIK there is no native support built into the newer echo devices. This may have changed. If you have news about this from other smart home platforms, please let me know.

mat1990dj commented 5 years ago

You mean that the new echo devices are not compatible with HUE hubs?

michbeck100 commented 5 years ago

No, they are. What i mean is, they changed something, so that the communication between the hue bridge and the newer echoes differs. But you can always proof me wrong. If you have a new echo just try.

mat1990dj commented 5 years ago

I mean, it's right, if I disconnect my old echo dot everything stops working

michbeck100 commented 5 years ago

Yes, but maybe other solutions like ha-bridge are working. I have never tried. Maybe you have the time to test? if it's working then they implemented something more than me.

michbeck100 commented 5 years ago

https://github.com/bwssytems/ha-bridge/issues/890 has some findings whats working with ha-bridge

Closing this ticket as the newer generations are only supported by the upcoming pimatic skill
