Can I control multiple Home Center gateways?
Not at the same time. You can change which gateway is used in Alexa by activating it as default integration gateway at home.fibaro.com.
Alternatively, if you have multiple FIBARO ID accounts you can create Alexa Household Profile and switch between user profiles with FIBARO ID account assigned to each.
Interface limits
The discovery interface describes messages used to identify the endpoints associated with the user’s device account.
Endpoints are the devices associated with the user account and the capabilities the skill supports for them. The endpoints field is subject to size limits.
The discovery interface has the following limits for each user:
- Maximum number of endpoints — 300
- Maximum number of capabilities for each endpoint — 100
- Maximum payload size for AddOrUpdateReport event — 256 kilobytes (KB)
Note: If scenes are not visible in the application, ensure that the maximum number of endpoints is not reached.
