Hey everyone! I wanted to share a success story that might help others dealing with similar issues. I’ve been using Shelly devices for a while now, and recently I stumbled upon a neat solution to a problem I’ve been facing with Alexa and my Nabu Casa setup. Let me walk you through it! A bit of background: I’ve noticed that whenever I make changes in Home Assistant, my Alexa devices often lose their connection to certain entities, especially my Zigbee bulbs. This has been a real pain point because I’d have to manually reconfigure them every time. I’ve heard others mention similar frustrations, so I thought I’d dive into finding a more permanent fix. After some research, I came across the Shelly app and its capabilities for automations. I decided to give it a shot. Here’s what I did: 1. Setup the Shelly Automation: I created a simple automation in the Shelly app that triggers whenever I turn on a specific light switch. This automation then sends a command to my Nabu Casa system to refresh the entity connections. It’s surprisingly straightforward! 2. Testing the Automation: The first time I tested it, I was thrilled to see that the lights connected seamlessly with Alexa without any manual intervention. It’s been working flawlessly ever since! 3. Sharing the Solution: I thought it would be helpful to share this solution with the community in case others are facing the same issue. It’s all about leveraging the Shelly app’s flexibility to create custom solutions that fit your smart home setup. If anyone else is struggling with Alexa and Nabu Casa integration, I highly recommend exploring the Shelly app’s automation features. It’s a game-changer for streamlining your smart home experience! Happy automating! ![]()
