Motion sensor and Alexa - doesn't trigger routines

    Hi,

    So i've got a motion sensor and a shelly light. If i create a shelly scene that when a motion is detected the bulb will light. It works. I deleted it and wanted to connect the motion device to Alexa.

    I was able to add the motion sensor to my devices and it even get updated whenever there's a motion. I wanted to create a routine where when it has a motion detected, it will light the bulb. This just doesnt work, the routine is never triggered! The device in the alexa app shows me a motion is detected but the routine is not run!

    I even tried the virtual trick i saw on your youttube channel. didnt work either.

    I tried a factory reset for the motion sensor, tried to remove the shelly cloud skill and re-enable, discovered devices again.. nothing, it just doesnt work. I'm very disappointed

    BTW, I'm from Israel if that matters for some reason as it's not a "formal" Alexa country, but all my other devices work just fine with Alexa: lifx, tp link, tuya etc.

    Never had such a problem with any of my smart devices in Alexa.. this is the first one that just doesnt work.

    I tried to reproduce the problem.

    Alexa works as expected with the Motion for me.

    Which lamp should be switched?? A Shelly-Bulb or a Shelly1 or 1PM in the light switch?

    If so, why don't you use the possibilities with DDD (Http-Requests)?

    Hi all,

    I have the exact same problem, As I have installed the motion several times in the Shelly app to try to resolve it but with no luck.

    So to clarify:

    The motion sensor is installed in the Shelly app with no issue and the motion sensor also shows up in Alexa but when you trigger the motion sensor it does not show that it has been triggered in Alexa.

    I re-installed the motion sensor again last night via the reset procedure as set down the instruction and then Alexa found it as a new device again as per other attempts but according to Alexa, the device has not triggered in 12hrs whereas the Shelly app shows all its triggerings up to the minute.

    So any suggestion would be great.

    regards

    Darren
