Has anyone had any luck in having Alexa access their Nest thermostat, or any other smart devices? I have the skills added and linked, but Alexa cannot find my nest thermostats, iHome smart plugs, or Arlo Pro cameras. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In screenshot shown of Alexa app smarthome section this page shows downstairs (one of my nests) and front door (an arlo). You can see some Sonos speakers on this screen and hue lights as well.

Ahhh. It’s being duplicated. One version direct from hue bridge and the other via smartthings. Same light two methods of accessing.

Fixed. Went into smartthings app Alexa smartspp and removed diningroom as light to allow in alexa (prefer just use the hue direct connection vs routing through smartthings in this case).

Can you use more than one harmony hub so that you can control other tVs

You may need to reset skills in alexa app. Don’t think you will need to reset Sonos One.

Yes I have two harmony hubs. I have one in my bedroom and one in my living room. So I can control both via alexa.

On multiple occasions I have freaked out my wife as upstairs is called bedroom tv and downstairs just tv.

So if I walk in bedroom and forget and say “alexa turn on tv” instead of “alexa turn on bedroom tv” Alexa turns on downstairs tv - and normally happens late evening when no one downstairs.
