Was anyone able to send Amazon Alexa voice commands to the 3M Radio Thermostat Wifi unit? I can fully control it via VeraPlus UI but not through the Amazon Alexa. The device has been discovered by Alexa, but when I send a command it tells me that the device is not responding. I tried uninstalling and re-installing , disabling and re-enabling all plug-ins.
I am using the newest Vera+ Firmware (1.7.2608), the latest version of the Radio Thermostat Wi-Fi Plugin (v3.0), the latest Amazon Alexa Helper plugin (v.1.11), and, on the Alexa Device, the beta version of the Vera Smarter Home Control.
Did you take a look to see if anything is in the Vera log file at the time you try this?
I took a different approach and got a Raspberry Pi running the HA Bridge which is controlled by Alexa. This works very well and has allowed me to control the Filtrete Radio Thermostat (Alexa thinks I have a dimmer named “heat”, so I say “Alexa set the heat to 68”). But I would think that you should be able to do this through Vera and that would save the expense of the additional hardware.
so I can pull the current temp from Alexa->vera->radio thermostat , but I cant set it. I’m looking at the source code and I see this
"HeatSetPoint": {
...
},
"CoolSetPoint": {
....
}
I’m guess there is a standard format or command set that should be implemented. If I can find out set them i’m pretty sure I can rework the radio thermostat code in github to work with alexa.
Or if someone has already done this then please speak up.
