Any possibility that recent Polyglot upgrade could have contributed to this?

Do you have any other Alexa devices set up as scenes? If yes, are they working? Post a picture of the Alexa scene device (as seen in the portal) here.

Just confirming - the power is reported when an alert is generated (no energy though)

I'm getting odd results but when trying to debug I realized the fields like last message, access code, and last time are not flowing into the general eISY logging system. The following programs trigger based on the last way the deadbolt was unlocked without the code from above that does a Force Update even running. I could see that last message is "Locked by Schlage Button" so I'm lost. Garage:Deadbolt Unlocked By Apple Key - [ID 01F6][Parent 0124] If $Security_Allow_Schlage_To_Disarm_I is 1 And 'Garage / Garage Door' Last Message is Unlocked by Apple key And 'Garage / Garage Door' Last Message Time is not '$Security_Armed_Garage_Deadbolt_Last_Message_Time_I Unix Timestamp' And 'Garage / Garage Door' Last Message Time > 0.0 Unix Timestamp Then Set 'Security System / Security System:Partition' Disarm Send Notification to 'JPaulText' content 'Security Disarmed Via Schlage Message' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Garage:Deadbolt Unlocked By Paul - [ID 0125][Parent 0124] If $Security_Allow_Schlage_To_Disarm_I is 1 And 'Garage / Garage Door' Last Message is Unlocked by keypad And 'Garage / Garage Door' Last Access Code Used is '$Security_Code_Paul_I User Number' And 'Garage / Garage Door' Last Message Time is not '$Security_Armed_Garage_Deadbolt_Last_Message_Time_I Unix Timestamp' And 'Garage / Garage Door' Last Message Time > 0.0 Unix Timestamp Then Set 'Security System / Security System:Partition' Disarm Send Notification to 'JPaulText' content 'Security Disarmed Via Schlage Message' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

If you want to change the security setting you have to remove and reinstall with the new security setting

Thanks so much. Very helpful. So I have the scene set up in the portal and the spoken word identified. Now what I get from Alexa is "dining room is not responding. Please check its network connection". Nothing happens with the lights upon the spoken word. Frustrating as all the other spoken word command's function well.

btw, another small difference is that the eisy has an HDMI port, so you can plug in KVM and tinker with FreeBSD, if you're into that sort of thing. You can also run a GUI on it - a GUI for FreeBSD, that is, not the eisy-ui discussed above. Not needed at all for the things most of us do, and frankly a little risky if you don't know what you're doing. -Tom

@dennisric , the "flashing" sounds like a noise and/or power supply filtering problem (capacitor dying). Are your togglelincs on the same circuit? Have you changed the loads on the switches? Any recent issues with the utility transformer/neutral line to the house? (or other electrical work). I agree that a simple reset/restore is easy and prudent. If that doesn't work you might try swapping one device out to see if that corrects the problem. The togglelincs are ~10 years old or more. Very possible that the power supply's are starting to have issues.

@Techman sure enough! Thank you. I assume I need to remove the device and re-add it to add the security.

The pin code should be either under or above the QR code, you may need a magnifying glass to see it.

I just got a ZOOZ ZEN05 800LR Outdoor Plug to use with my EISY/Zwave setup. The device came with several QR codes to set it up but none for the EISY so I just went into the Admin console/Z-wave menu and added a new device. I pressed the button on the plug 3 times to put it into pairing mode and my EISY found it. It showed it supported S2 security but to add it with that enabled, I needed a PIN which I don't believe I have. I don't see anything in the box that says it's a PIN. So I turned off S2 and it added with no security (I assume). How could I add this device with the S2 turned on? How would I find the PIN? Any helpful suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Let us know how it goes.

OH thanks! Yes, using the Zooz stick, thanks. I am not so paranoid as only have two Zwave devices and can easily add them back in manually if there is a problem. Much appreciated

The Zwave backup option only appears if you're using the ZMatter dongle. It's not there if you have the Zooz stick. In that case it's "probably" included in the general IoX backup, but I cannot tell you that for a fact. If you're really paranoid (join my club!) about losing data or ending up with a blue brick, you can backup absolutely everything by doing a full unix backup to a USB stick, if you're comfortable with using ssh to log into your controller and keying in shell commands. I have detailed this in a forum thread that you can read below. Note that recovering with a eisy is somewhat easier because you can attach a keyboard and screen to it, and do a restore from a console screen, while if a Polisy loses network connectivity, you're quickly down to reflashing the SSD. Either way, you can then restore the full backup.

haha about the Friday night, was thinking the exact same thing! BTW do yo know how to do the Zwave backup, there seems to be no option for that under Zwave menu on my AC interface?

That's right, it's upgradeable from that version. Just be sure that if the upgrade runs into a fixable issue (at worse, needing to reflash the SDD) and that you need support, that you can live without the Polisy. Ie: don't do upgrades on a Friday night

OK, my Freee BSD is FreeBSD:14:amd64, so I do not need a new SSD for my Polisy, correct?

Be sure you've updated the Polisy to the IoX 6.0 version. It should include the "eisy-ui" ability. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/45672-os-143iox-6-release-is-now-available/ See the link above and be sure you read the requirements before blindly updating! There have been some reports of issues updating Polisy so if you run into issues open a support ticket with UD before you try any random adjustments on your own (or by reading other posts). UD has commented in the past that if you run into issues as a result of an update process to always open a support ticket. This helps them as much as it helps the users by being able to see what exactly happened without the user attempting a "self-fix". This way if they find an issue that can be resolved for other users they can implement the change timely.

Do you have IoX 6.0.0 running on it?

Hmmm, does not seem to work for me, as I have tired my IP address with and without secure (https) and withe and without the port number, but does not work

What is expectation for the data to update after the Force Update command is issued?

Just a straight url, like this: http://192.168.0.123

@PapaBear , when you execute a scene from your Insteon switch it will interrogate group members via a group cleanup command to verify that they received/acted on the scene command. If a device did not respond correctly, the switch MAY retry xx times. When you request a scene to be turned on using Alexa, it communicates to the ISY via a Rest command. The ISY in turn executes the scene. The difference is that when the ISY executes a scene it does NOT interrogate the scene members to see if they received/acted on the command. It assumes the command was received properly. You likely have poor communication to some of the scene members. The switch uses retries to try to improve communications. The ISY (and Alexa) do not. You can try to improve communications, or use Individual device On/Off commands (Device on/off vs scene on/off). The ISY will use group cleanups and retries for Device Direct commands.

Oh so how do I get the new interface on the Polisy?

Likely issues with the scene - if ISY gets the command from Alexa, Alexa did its part and triggered. Its up ISY and your switches to react to and execute the scene.
