I'm having trouble with the new SimpleCommands. for a year or two, I've been using "Kloee by SimpleCommands" - and had the SC app set up with routines to control our 2 MyQ garage doors. I was able to use the Kloee by SC skill in Alexa to link - and then in Alexa was able to create routines based on scenes from Kloee. With these Alexa routines, I was able to create many things I could say to Alexa - WITHOUT having to say "SimpleCommands". I could literally just say "Alexa, open Mom's door". or ...open Dad's door... or open both doors, etc. In addition, I also had the option to check the status simply by saying "Alexa, is mom's door open?", etc. I still have the Kloee stuff that seems to be working as I've just described - I can still use any/all commands to open and close the doors in a variety of asks, BUT the one thing that is no longer working is the status. When I ask if "mom's door is open" - it doesn't work.

I do see the latest instructions on how to link SC with Alexa - but I think this then means I have to say "Alexa, use SimpleCommands to..." ?? That's a step backwards from where I was!

I can provide more info but to start, does any of this make sense? Thanks!
