Harmony Alexa skill

Not quite the right place, but most suitable for all those using Harmony and Alexa. I looked at the Alexa skill when they were first introduced, and am sure it used to require a "Alexa, ask Harmony to .... " command.
However with introduction of scenes, the functionality is much better. Now its just "Alexa turn on living room apple tv/bedroom fire tv" etc You can then also just say "Alexa pause/ play / turn volume up/down " etc. and ask for specific channels.

Not sure how I missed this change, but hopefully of use for others. Its simplified my setup so now I can use this plugin for triggering actions on harmony changes rather than trying to link it and the alexa hue plugin to get voice control.

Re: Harmony Alexa skill

It is due to 2 Harmony skills for Alexa

Logitech recommends you enable our other, newly updated “Harmony” skill. Both the “Harmony” skill and this “Harmony — Secondary Hub” skill offer similar capabilities.

Harmony skill:
“Alexa, turn on the TV”
“Alexa, turn on Netflix”
“Alexa, turn up the volume”
“Alexa, pause”

Harmony — Secondary Hub skill:
“Alexa, ask Harmony to turn on the TV”
“Alexa, ask Harmony to turn on Netflix”
“Alexa, ask Harmony to turn up the volume”
“Alexa, ask Harmony to pause”
