Question

SmartThings scenes is not showing up on the Alexa app :-( I am using Amazon echo to activate some SmartThings scenes, like handling lights/roller shutters when "Going To Sleep". Couple of days ago I noticed that Alexa does not respond to the voice command and figured out that the "Going to sleep" SmartThings scene is not showing up on the Echo's routine under the "Add action" of NEW ROUTINE. I tried creating new scene, both on the classic and new SmartThings app and it could not be shown on the list of routines: (Alexa app --> Routines --> Create New --> Add action --> Smart Hone --> Control Scene). Important to mention that there are 6 existing scenes that to appear on this list. I assume this is something on the SmartThings side, something that was changed lately. Any ideas?  

Answer 1

Mine are still there so it's doable

Answer 2

There’s certain items in a SmartThings scene that can’t be imported into Alexa, I think it has to do with locks and garage doors

Indeed the problem was adding Danalock to an existing ST scene. Once removing this operation from the scene it turned available on Alexa app. Weird. 10x!

@hebraic4736 I think it is something with the new SmartThings App. Both apps were upgraded recently , damaging this important functionality, , , Hopefully this will be back after another upgrade. Write about this also in the global forum.
