i’m wondering if it cannot support more than one switch, maybe supports bulbs?
No idea. I went through all my devices and groups. Most could be added to routines, but a few gave me the same error that you got.
on the ones that gave you errors, were the devices you were trying to use in the routine sonoffs, did you manage to use more than one sonoff in any routine being either a device or group?
i’ve been trying everything but no change. i don’t own any smart bulbs to try.
i think weighing it up, i can still use a blynk timer by adding some additional code, just a shame i can’t let Alexa manage it.
it’s a really great project, well done for sharing.
@Ze_Pico Sinric may be a perfectly fine method for Alexa device control, but but you fail to ever show any integration with BLYNK. This is the BLYNK forum. Are you seeing the disconnect?
Perhaps I am not so smart as you are.
But but what I must say, the “Wemo Emulator” (the Belkin Wemo) that you used in your first project ,fauxmoESP ,espurna ,Espalexa ,Tasmota and a lot more all are present thanks to Aruna Tennakoon " kakopappa ".
all the hard work was done by kakopappa.
now with SINRIC also from kakopappa you can control
TV / Speaker
Alexa.PowerController
Alexa.PlaybackController
Alexa.InputController
Alexa.Speaker
Alexa.StepSpeaker
Window Shutters
Alexa.PowerController
Alexa.ChannelController
Alexa.PercentageController
Thermostat
Alexa.PowerController
Alexa.ThermostatController
Alexa.TemperatureSensor
Switch
Alexa.PowerController
Light
Alexa.PowerController
Alexa.ColorTemperatureController
Alexa.ColorController
Alexa.BrightnessController
and now with GOOGLE HOME
you can check my post
@chrome1000 i gave up trying the routines.On a separate issue,i followed the tempory fix for light ON in Alexa app, changed the text like it said but lights still turn on in Alexa app when i enter the devices page,any ideas?
@jasperdog Yep. It started with an Alexa app update several months ago. However, since I typically use either voice control or Blynk, It’s a pretty rare occurrence.
here’s a code that i wrote for using a 4channel relay board. i have not modified it but you could just modify this code. this works using an easy to use sinric skill. since i am terrible at coding. Pardon ME.
it also has some other stuff for controlling my ac and the temerature

Hey @jasperdog
Just out of curiosity, are you using the early code, based on the “WemoManager” library? If so, try the newer version that uses the “espalexa” library. My devices that use the newer code seem to work just fine with all aspects of Alexa, including routines. You can find the newer version above, in my April 2, 2018 post.
i am using the WemoManager library, i’ll try your suggested library now.
it works @chrome1000 , thank you, i notice now that the device is a light and not a switch and cannot be edited as a switch unlike the wemomanager option, it makes no difference to the operation of the sonoff though. The routine works as does the Blynk side too. Many thanks again.

I’m glad we got that resolved. The real beauty of using the espalexa version is that Alexa will accept both ON/OFF and analog level commands. You can ask her to “turn on the fan,” or you can also ask her to “turn the fan on 25%.”

@chrome1000 i just tried reflashing a second device (different blynk token). alexa discovered it but lost the first device, any ideas?
is it to do with the following line needs changing other than the obvious “bedroom” name?
espalexa.addDevice("Bedroom", UpdateBedroom); //Parameters: (device name, callback function).
both devices work in blynk
pin is
const int OutputPin = 12;
@chrome1000 so in conclusion, it appears i can only have one instance of a device using the espalexa sketch, i can even turn one device off and the other appears and vice versa but not both together, different tokens used, different names used?
