Alexa with Skills in Switzerland
To save others the headache.... I have now set up everything at home with Amazon Echo Dot's (3x) various Hombli Smart Switches and Smart Plugs (sockets and light switches). To connect everything, you have to activate the plug in, called Skills in Alexa. If you create an Amazon account, log in and start up the Echos, everything looks OK. You will also find manufacturers such as Hombli in the app, but you cannot activate them due to regional restrictions. To do this, you have to log in to Amazon in any browser (it doesn't matter which one, as long as it's not in the Alaxa app) and first enter a German address for your region. It doesn't matter what kind, you can also use the nearest supermarket in Jestetten. It's just a matter of linking the account in the background to the German Gideoines. You can then activate everything in the app, including Spotify, etc. In the app you can also define your home address again to get correct weather data etc. Have fun!
