The Brits mentally prepared for Brexit 50 years ago :rolleyes:
I see quite a lot of errors in the logs related to fetching the weather so it would appear that the service is experiencing some issues at the moment. The main TCC service seems fine. Hopefully it...

You have 3 options: Alkaline, Lithium and NiMh. The first 2 types are 1.5V while NiMh is 1.2V. So I'd say as long as the HR92 is 'stuck' on either of the first 2 options it should make no...
Amazon certified my changes to the widgets to allow them to correctly update with the new widgets-shortcut launching method. You'll notice that the background image on the widgets is now replaced by...
This morning I unexpectedly saw that Amazon's new widget shortcut paradigm was live on my Echo Show 8 Gen II.

In the past week I've had 3 people ask me offline if a 'Cancel Activity' command can be added. So that I don't have to keep repeating the same answers via email/whatsapp, I'll post some thoughts...
All the regulars here are well aware that Resideo is sadly neglecting Evohome. Luckily, there's a third-party (me!) doing some independent development work to use an Amazon Echo as a touchscreen...
Fixed a bug in the account-creation process which was causing the tickbox for "I have a HGI-80 and DOmoticz or HA" to be greyed out. Thanks to Mick for uncovering.
The changes were certified without issue so now the following will work again:
Show the hot water schedule
Display the hot water schedule
Upload schedule B to hot water
Reverting to baseline...
I just noticed that Alexa is having difficulty when I ask to display a schedule, no matter how I pronounce the word. If anybody else is noticing this, the word timetable will also work with the skill.
A user called Simon pointed out that creating an account for the skill was returning a 403 error which was due to me being too careful in attempting to block hackers from accessing the back-end....
A user (thanks Andrew) discovered a bug with uploading schedules for DHW which was inadvertently introduced during the last certification round and which nobody managed to trigger until now....
Does the weather on EvoControl update for you when using the skill? I guess it would because the AWS cloud is polling the weather and merely sending the values down to your Echo Show. The value of a...
Backups now also contain any normally-hidden zones that you use with the Peek feature (the green radio buttons on the Alias settings screen) so that they can also be restored without having to...
Just to add that “I’m having problems with that right now” is not the skill but the Alexa service itself glitching. There’s no such error message in the skill. You may also get “I’m having problems...
That’s just visual confirmation. No need to confirm and save as that’s automatic.
I saw that somebody with only a single zone (plus DHW) linked the skill and that gave me the idea to automatically set the default zone so that you can always omit its name in commands requiring a...
Starting with your 2nd question, EvoControl Smart Heat co-exists peacefully with both your panel and the mobile app so any of them can be used at any time to control your Evohome system.
On the...
The hall batteries may be just at threshold which means they’ll pop in and out of flagging low. Won’t break the bank to just replace them. Wasted gas due to unnecessary heat demand quickly costs more.
A few noteworthy tweaks:
Theres a new 'Brevity' toggle-switch on the settings page to prevent callout of a long list of demand percentages when lots of rooms are cold and you can see the...
Good to hear. I did a diff of your old and new database entries for the skill and I can see that Honeywell had changed all of your IDs (except userId, naturally). I wonder why they do that? Those IDs...
@jweaver you can now give it a try just by launching the skill. Whenever TCC realignment is needed, the skill saves a flag which is checked upon launch. If it's set, the skill automatically retrieves...
The file just goes to your browser’s downloads folder like anything else you’d download from a website.
A backup now would be feasible if you made recent changes. It does not need oauth to...
I can delete your entire database entry if you like and that will force the skill to discover you as a new user. Then I can put back your scenes and saved schedules if you don't have a backup to...
I see several people using the skill for the first time in over 6 months so they are having to re-auth.
I've changed that error message to remind people that tokens have a maximum life of 6...
