Has anyone established a way of getting alexa devices to operate in SmartThings, synchronising both ways. I have several devices that are not compatible with SmartThings (including custom device handlers) that I would like to add, I can do this with virtual switches but struggling with two-way status sync. Thanks :-)

Answer 1

I'm using ifttt for it, but won't the lines of syncing, I'm noticing it has some lag and I feel isn't as reliable. No idea why, but I do have issues with it as well

Answer 2

My TV’s can be controlled by Alexa, and I’m using virtual switch’s to turn them on and off. To keep them matching real world condition, I have them plugged into smart outlets and have a piston in webcore that turns the virtual switch on or off depending on the power draw.
