#Alexa smartapp update#

Someone who wishes to clean that up can certainly fork this code to do so. This is because these devices donвЂ™t report their on/off status and I did not put any effort into trying to mimic that. While this will also let you integrate these devices into smartthings scenes and so forth, the individual devices donвЂ™t look ideal in the SmartThings app on their own.

#Alexa smartapp update#

UPDATE January 2017: Users are confirming that this also works with Google HomeД«ecause this is focused on Alexa integration, it is limited to switches (on/off only, no dimmers or hi/medium/low, but there are workarounds to control different functions as if they were switches, which IвЂ™ll describe in each approachвЂ™s readme). Because SmartThings is hosting the service, IвЂ™d recommend the version with the hub, but also offer the cloud version to use at your own risk, supposing you know enough about your networkвЂ™s security to decide what to do. They differ in what additional programs you need and whether you can control via a SmartThings Hub on your local LAN or via the cloud (potentially less secure and slower but does not require purchasing a SmartThings Hub). There are three versions of this app, each with separate instructions in additional readme files. The total cost of needed items (besides the optional SmartThings Hub is around $30-50 (depending on which approach you select) at the time of this writing. This set of codes lets you link up many (likely most) of your RF- and IR-controlled devices to smartthings, and in turn to any other services linked to your smartthings account, such as IFTTT or Amazon's Alexa (echo).
