12string Posted January 14, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 14, 2021 I don't even know what I did! Asked Google to turn on a light, she wouldn't do it./ Looked at my Smartthings app - all my devices are GONE! Doesn't see my hub. It's all still in my account if I log in to the website. Making it hard to to turn stuff on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted January 14, 2021 Share #2 Posted January 14, 2021 My wife does not get along with Alexa. She will ask for a light to be turned on and nothing happens. Then she asks me to ask Alexa. "Alexa, turn on the light" ""OK maxx, is there anything else you'd like" I'm learning how to program Alexa to drive womaxx nuts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just push the light switch, push the temp and mode buttons in the tstat and turn the lock from the inside or use a key from the outside. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted January 15, 2021 Share #11 Posted January 15, 2021 I like creating group commands that do many things at once. When I say "Alexa good morning" the light in the bedroom where I've been getting dressed goes off, the light in the kitchen near the coffee maker goes on, the coffee maker turns on and the light in the living room where I'm going turns on. Now if I could just get alarms to say specific things instead of just chiming. "Max you have a dr. appointment this morning". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share #12 Posted January 15, 2021 It was a problem with the Samsung servers. A lot of people's houses stopped cooperating. Fun stuff: Android Auto update will include Smartthings, so you can control your house from your car, and your car from Smarrthings. So you can do stuff like be woken up to music, lights come on, the coffee starts automatically, after a half hour the car starts.... that's if your car allows it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new update, you could connect the CO detector to turn of the car if levels got too high. But I don't have a garage, or I wouldn't have had to run out yesterday and reinstall the taillights so the car wouldn't fill with rain. I need a garage.

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted January 16, 2021 Share #16 Posted January 16, 2021 To me those things are a solution searching for a problem. I guess you could say I'm a disciple of the Zealot School of Environmental Management. My sisters got one of those for my parents, who are 85. We were sitting at the kitchen table talking to each other and it butted in. TK: "Alexa, be quiet." Alexa: "Ok. Would you like to hear today's weather?" TK: "No. Be quiet, Alexa." Alexa: "OK. I'll be quiet. Would you like to take a survey of how I responded to you? On the basis of 1 to 5..." TK: "No! Alexa stop!" Alexa: "OK. Would you like to..." TK: (Reaches over and pulls the plug.) No kidding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
