@d.kiran Yes I have two Almond+'s and an Almond 2015 (potentially others as well that can't be discussed in this thread) and they all show up in all of my apps (iOS, android, different devices; as they should). When I have Alexa discover my home devices it discovers all applicable devices connected to my Securifi account, this includes one set of devices that are at another residence entirely. I can "forget" them in the Alexa app but every time I run discovery I'd have to do it again. Also, if I wanted to use other echo devices like at my parents' house they wouldn't be present. Now my parent's only access the Almond+ and its devices that are at their residence so they don't want devices named "Parent's Living Room Lights" or "Mom and Dad's Front Door" so they use names like "Living Room Lights" and "Front Door" which are device names I also use at my residence. Ideally an alias would allow me to change / assign a different name in my Almond App that only applies to my account and could be continued in other services such as Alexa / Echo and IFTTT and anything else that Securifi may add in the future. Yes I could create a group name for each individual light but that would still be frustrating / overlapping AND is a lot of extra work
. As I said I am excited almost all devices work now with Alexa, which is fairly unique in the HA market still, I believe. And the other additions are pretty useful. I don't have kids but could see setting up devices as "kids" devices so I can control when I want to conserve bandwidth / mess with my friends!
Also @ashok, it isn't generally recommended to hook up window AC's to binary switches because powering off the AC condenser can cause long term issues. I was just trying to understand how the AC d.kiran had worked with the thermostat he had. Also, that is why support for the AC IR blaster is pretty neat though I admittedly haven't purchased one yet.
