Contact sensor not triggering routine

[viveiroscordeiro]

Hi,
I have Hassio + Home Assistant Cloud + Alexa
I was able to have exposed virtual and real contact sensors from Home Assistant to Alexa. All the contact sensors are seen by Alexa and report almost intactly the state: “open” or “closed”.

But they are unable to trigger any routine, in fact one of them worked only one first time, triggering the routine, but now although they status on Alexa change correctly from “closed” to “open” the routine is not triggered… (The routine is enabled and can be triggered correctly by the play button on the app)

Is this any known issue?

Thanks!

I've had a similar issue with Home Assistant Cloud. I don't actually have a contact sensor, but I have a template sensor which is exposed to Alexa as a door sensor and found that it stopped working after a while.
I eventually discovered that it seemed to correspond with restarting Home Assistant. It seems that, following the restart, it stopped reporting the sensor states either though the "Enable State Reporting" was enabled under Configuration > Home Assistant Cloud > Alexa. Disabling and re-enabling this option fixes it for me.

There is a problem with contact sensors and routines. Mine have stopped working.

I submitted a fix for this issue when using Home Assistant, and this was included in Home Assistant 0.97. This is now working for me even following a restart.
