Breakiing news: UK Amazon Echo works with Evohome!

[MrB]

I just asked Alexa "what temperature is the Office Hallyway" to see if anything had changed - reply "inside is 19 degrees" - WOW
Tried again:
"what temperature is the Main Bedroom" - reply "inside is 20 degrees" - WOW x2
Tried again:
"what temperature is the Living Room" - reply "inside is 21.5 degrees" - WOW x3

Guess that's all working then

Edit:
Just to note they are all correct values

calm down !

did yours say degrees at the end?

I had asked for this syntax amend to be done - but was sure it had.

[Conseils]

Really like this feature, superb thanks.

Still not working for me despite re-installing the skill.

"That command doesn't work on device lounge", despite varying the question's syntax.

Do I need to delete the devices as well as re-install the skill?

[paulockenden]

Yup - I get "that command doesn't work on device Loo" too.

Guess I was suffering from shock because of the implementation....
It stops at the temperature - there is no "degree" word spoken .

EDIT:
Re not working for others... My WiFi Controller updated to the new software during the last few days (don't know exactly when) - is it something to with that?
Could be there is a new interrogation facility on the Controller (or whatever)...

[peterf]

Might be that.

Mine's the non-wifi controller.

Ok phew. So the syntax amends are coming they in in the queue at amazon. Adding degrees.

On another note - a server update is planned on 25th to stop (we think) the device offline problem.

Ref the other posts. All the evo's (wifi or gateway) talk to same cloud, so no difference in Alexa integration
