duplicated names
Closed this issue · 9 comments
I have the following problem.
I use the same display name for several devices. e. g."wohnzimmer".
This means that alexa has duplicated names and can no longer switch some devices.
is it possible to set the default name for alexa in the device settings independent of the display name?
Please use the name property the device configuration: https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-echo/blob/master/README.md#configuration
Note that this doesn't work for ButtonsDevice
You are FAST :D i will try it!
Give me a sec
ah okay you mean the additionalNames feature.
I only want to use the additionalNames.
The display name should be excluded for alexa. is there any way to do this?
No i'm talking about the name:
"devices": [
{
"id": "switch",
"class": "DummySwitch",
"name": "Switch",
"echo": {
**"name": "EchoSwitch",**
"additionalNames": ["AnotherNameForMyEchoSwitch", "YetAnotherName"],
"active": true,
"debug": false,
"comfyTemp": 21,
"ecoTemp": 17
}
}
]
In this example the original name of the device is "Switch" and will be overridden by "EchoSwitch"
perfect!!!!!! THX
why its greyed out?
OK it works after editing the config directly. THX
don't know why it's not editable. This has to do with the mobile frontend i guess. Closing this issue.
