Ny skill for HS3 og Alexa endelig på plass

UPDATE 1/21/18: Amazon has updated the Alexa skill with more features and these are now available to HomeSeer users

The new version 3 API adds some new features. To take advantage of all of the new features, HS3 version 3.0.0.398 or later is required.

1) Locks are now supported. Amazon only allows you to lock doors, unlock is not supported. To ensure this works, edit the device in HS that has the Lock/Unlock buttons on it. Click the Status/Graphics tab and look for the Lock and Unlock values. Make sure the ControlUse property dropdown is set to "Lock" and "Unlock" respectively. While Unlock is not supported right now, it is supported with Google Home so go ahead and set it.

2) Multi room support is available. In the Alexa app you can assign a Echo device to a room and then assign devices to that room. All devices that have a ControlUse with the Dim value set will be considered "Lights". You can then say "turn on the lights" and all the lights will be controlled. If you have a light that only supports On/Off, this will NOT be controlled. To override this, there is a new device property named "Is Light". Check this box and the device will then be considered a light. Make sure you re-discover your devices after setting this.

3) Events can now be triggered. V3 adds "Scene" support. For this we consider an event a scene for Alexa. There is a new property under the event name (Voice Command). If you set this, you can then say "Alexa, turn on event_voice_command", like "Alexa, turn on my evening scene".

4) Thermostat supports continues as before.

5) Note that the discovery process now honors the user access feature in HS3. If you edit a device and only allow the user "bill" to access the device, then only the Alexa user bill will be able to control that device. By default, all devices are available to all users. But if you edit users for devices be aware that this affects the discovery process.

You will need to unlink your current HS3 skill and then link again with the skill named "HomeSeer Smart Home Skill"

Merk også at man må oppdatere HS til minst 3.0.0.398 for å få alle features...
