In 1377, he ordered the installation of the first public mechanical clock in the region, and established an officer to maintain it.{{sfn|Cox|1967|p=49}} He created a system of state-supported poor relief, one of the first of its kind in the late medieval world.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Davies |first=Norman |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vD7SWb5lXBAC&dq=%22Amadeus+VI%22+%22state-supported+poor+relief%22&pg=PA404 |title=Europe: A History |date=2010-09-30 |publisher=Random House |isbn=978-1-4070-9179-2 |pages=404 |language=en}}</ref>

In 1381 at [[Turin]], he mediated between [[Republic of Genoa|Genoa]] and [[Republic of Venice|Venice]] and sponsored the peace treaty which brought an end to the [[War of Chioggia]] and the larger [[Venetian-Genoese War]].{{sfn|Norwich|1997|p=354}} The [[Republic of Genoa]] and the [[Republic of Venice]] had for long argued over the ownership of the island of [[Ancient Tenedos|Tenedos]] in the [[Aegean Sea]] near the [[Dardanelles]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Abercrombie |first=Gordon Ellyson |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0Sn8EAAAQBAJ&dq=%22Amadeus+VI%22+%22island+of+Tenedos%22&pg=PA99 |title=The Hospitaller Knights of Saint John at Rhodes 1306-1522 |date=2024-05-16 |publisher=Pen and Sword Military |isbn=978-1-3990-4804-0 |pages=99 |language=en}}</ref> Eventually, it was agreed under the [[Treaty of Turin (1381)|Treaty of Turin]] that as a compromise the island, after being depopulated and demilitarised, should be formally entrusted to Amadeus, Count of Savoy, a cousin to the [[Palaiologos]] imperial family.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sttPAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22Amadeus+VI%22+%22island+of+Tenedos%22&pg=PA409 |title=Penny Cyclopaedia of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge |date=1833 |publisher=C.

Later Amadeus would be persuaded by [[Antipope Clement VII]] (Avignon Obedience) to accompany [[Louis I, Duke of Anjou]], on an expedition to [[Naples]].{{sfn|Cox|1967|p=318-319}} Here in 1382 the Count would share with Louis in the successful conquests of [[Abruzzi]] and [[Duchy of Apulia|Apulia]]. He died near [[Castropignano]] on 27 February 1383 and was interred at [[Hautecombe Abbey]] on 15 June 1383.{{sfn|Cox|1967|p=336,339–340}}

Amadeus was credited with purchasing the territory of the mountain pass, the Col de Largentièes, today [[Maddalena Pass]] on the border of France and Italy. This purchase took place in 1388, after his death, for the sum of 60,000 [[Écu|ecus]].{{sfn|Coolidge|1915|p=687}}
