I’ve got it working now by changing the device type to light. How do I make it do something when it turns on/off?

[thegoliathgeek]

def onPowerState(did, state):
    # Alexa, turn ON/OFF Device
    if did == "<your deviceId>" and state=="ON":
             # Do something
    elif did == "<your deviceId>" and state=="OFF":
             # Do something
    return True, state

You can define logic like this.

I did that, and I now get an error about indentation. I've tried every single combination of indentations and it still doesn't work >:(

    elif did == lightId and state=="OFF":
       ^
IndentationError: expected an indented block```

Which editor do you use?

[ChopsKingsland]

Thonny on RPi

[thegoliathgeek]

Don't copy the code. Try typing it from scratch.

[ChopsKingsland]

it doesnt show an error anymore, but when i turn it on/off, nothing happens. How can I make it work?

[thegoliathgeek]

Just put a print statement and check what data you are getting.

[ChopsKingsland]

only on and off as i should be. i tried it printing 1 & 2 but nothing happened

[thegoliathgeek]

[thegoliathgeek]

Code is fine

Just change "ON" --> "On" and "OFF"-->"Off"
