This was news to me! It's not mentioned on the beointegration site yet. I linked my accounts but wasn't abel to get anything to happen. I'm finding that Alexa does not understand, for example "BeoSound One." She thinks I'm saying other things such as "B.O" or "B.L."

You could rename your BS1 to something, that this demanding lady understands, maybe.

Under devices, I can only get it to see my Hue lights and Nest thermostat. No B&O devices will appear. Nothing at all shows up under Scenes -- even though I have many Scenes programmed.
chucky:Did you authorize Khimo to get acces, you need to. On any device you use to get contact seperatly. Eg. Ipad, iphone, all seperate. Also in the skill, you need to grand acces. You do not need khimo to get to see hue lights, if you look at my previous pictures it says blgw, otherwise it simply contacts you hue bridge. You also need to log in at Khimo, see if you can use the sources on line. Eg. Can you operate anything from the webbrowser Khimo, it will ask you for acces. It is really beta version in the webbrowser, it does not show all sources. From Beovision to doorbel...all B&O what rings.
chucky:Do your lights work from the Khimo webbrowser? From Beovision to doorbel...all B&O what rings.
I sent an email to Khimo for support over a day ago and still haven't gotten a response.
Khimo just emailed me that they fixed the problem. I'll try it when I get home from work.
Khimo got the devices to appear, but I can't edit the names into names without "beo" so that Alexa can comprehend correctly.
Worse, now my IFTTT no longer works between Alexa and my BLGW!
chucky:Dag Jeff, Look at my setup, you can change the commands in the Alexa app, no need for Khimo. The name between the gateway and the command differ between BLGW and the Alexa app. This is under smart home in the Alexa app. I use edit name for the core in the bathroom to bathroom radio.

That's exactly to what I'm referring. The edit function is not working in the Alexa app.
chucky:Got a new skill but it sounds nutssss “Alexa, turn on goodbye!” It triggers a scene where the skylights closes, radio’s standby, beovision standby lights and so on. This is so cool, when I leave in the morning, but the command sucks. Does it only work with the command “turn on” like IFTTT “trigger”? From Beovision to doorbel...all B&O what rings.
As is usually, Khimo is operating at amateur hour. After alerting them of the issues, these were their responses:
mjmedlo:As a side @chucky My cameras are pretty good through the appIt’s much blurrier in this photo than my app See here:

After alerting them of the issues, these were their responses: "We have asked Amazon regarding this issue, it seems that there is a problem on their side. Name edition for different resources than B&O products (as lights, thermostats, etc.) it´s possible. A workaround for this issue is to change the name of B&O products in BLGW and tell Alexa to re-discover your devices. What words Alexa can or can not understand it´s out of our reach, it´s completely an Alexa issue. We will let you know what Amazon has to tell us regarding this issue. Best, the Khimo.com team.-" And later: "Amazon told us that name edition for speakers it´s not possible through Alexa App. The reasons aren´t really clear, they said that it´s because of Bluetooth pairing and they need to maintain the device name as it´s discovered. If you have more questions regarding this issue don´t hesitate in contact Amazon. So, the only way to do that it´s changing the respective name in the BLGW configuration and re-discover devices. Best, the Khimo.com team.-" I must say that I've never been impressed with Khimo. This is not B&O. It's another company that B&O has used for software development. I just don't feel that they reflect the quality and spirit of B&O. They weren't even aware of these issues until I brought them to their attention.
I was having trouble connecting this morning. I was getting a message on the BLGW setup screen that I needed to verify my khimo credentials. I figured it might have had something to do with my Khimo subscription that just renewed last week. Oddly, it sorted itself out and started working again without me doing anything. Odd.
Got the same problem with credentials, just subscrbed in March. Apperentlly a glich in Khimo, but it is solved know. I thought Alexa had turned sick ;)
