Google Home just released a skill for garage door openers. We are working on that ability, and would expect to see this occur in early 2020.
“I’m having trouble processing your request”. Seems to be Alexa’s favorite response.
Worked correctly for a couple of weeks, then I started getting this response.
Reset the door controller, reset the WiFi, and disabled then reenabled the skill.
“I’m having trouble processing your request”.
Fix your skill. Then tell ME how to fix it.
Hi! While everything is working for me with the custom skill, I’m wondering where you are at in the process of being able to bypass the custom skill and just say “Hey google, close my garage door.” ?
The verbal command is too long and often not said perfectly or heard correctly by Alexa, pretty much unusable. Why not have a shortcut like “Alexa close garage door”.
I was able to enable the Aladdin Connect skill in my Amazon Alexa account, but Amazon keeps saying they are unable to link the Aladdin app at this time. Please tell me how to link the app.
