BamBamF16 Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 When I attempt to add a new device I get the error: "HTTP error 400 : Device cannot be added to the spoken database" Any thoughts? jeff
Javi Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Hi @BamBamF16, What type of device? Currently the Alexa Configuration uses Hints for device types, some devices do not conform to a mapped device type. Some nodeServers that do conform may be missing a device type hint.
BamBamF16 Posted March 9, 2022 Author Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) OK I lied. i can add back zwave switch. It wasn't letting me earlier. But I can't add any device that is from node server. It is a Kasa TP Link outlet that I am trying to add. jeff Edited March 9, 2022 by BamBamF16
Javi Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Hi @BamBamF16, Please first check with the node server developer to see if they can add a hint for the node(s) in question. If that is not an option you can try the "Device Hint Editor" from "Connectivity" in the "Select Tool..." drop down on ISY portal. Be sure to select the "Help" button for detailed information. 1
BamBamF16 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Posted March 10, 2022 It looks like it should be a category 0X04 and a subcategory of 0X02. But I don't see how to turn that into the correct value and I don't want to mess it up.
Javi Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 If you need an alternate method: Use a State variable for Alexa, set the on and off values, percentage is calculated automatically. Then have a program monitor the State variable and set the "on" value to the same state variable Variable Test - [ID 0084][Parent 000F] If $State_6 is not -1 Then Set 'Devices / Basement / Basement Computer Room Lights' On '$State_6 %' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') You may want to set the variable init value to -1 to avoid the light being changed on reboot. 1
