Color changing light support coming soon to Google Home
Color arrived on a recent update. Haven't tried it out though.

IO Linc to segregate landscape lighting into "zones" not working
I don't think you set it using the ISY. Like you I found the manual confusing. Set it to latching using the buttons on the relay and make sure it is on when you are finished. I think that's all you have to do.

IO Linc to segregate landscape lighting into "zones" not working
It would help if you could be more specific about the keypad you're using and the scene or program you have implemented. I also know that the latching mode can have two variations - ON to open or ON to close. From the manual: Latching (Continuous) 1) Tap the Set button on I/O Linc to set the relay to the desired state. For example, if you want an ON command to open the relay, set the relay to be open. If you want an ON command to close the relay, set the relay to be closed. The I/O Linc Status LED will be dim if the relay is open or bright if the relay is closed

Creating Automation Instructions for Friends/Guests
I did figure out if you put the string used by YouTube to Access the video into your google home routine you can get a particular video to play. I imagine you could cast it as well. For example for the video you get it to play by putting "Play kmkQ-HF6IdQ on YouTube" into your routine Action.

Time has jumped ahead a day early
Could be. When I tested yesterday I was using a custom location.

Time has jumped ahead a day early
Have one 4.7.3 system, EST. Showing correct time using ntp (pool.ntp.org). Tried 0.pool.ntp.org and it's still fine.

Programs and Time?
OK, I had a look at them in the event viewer using them to monitor some Insteon commands. Problem is they don't seem to line up time sequence wise with the Insteon commands. They seem to pile up and get recorded in the log in a group sometime after.

Creating Automation Instructions for Friends/Guests
I think the lights and fans are fine in most rooms. I'm thinking about things like curtains and whole home audio that they're probably aren't familiar with and have no buttons. Apps are not likely installed on the theirs phones, but with a little instruction are readily available via voice command. Yes, better to spend my time creating enormous programs that monitor occupancy. ? Have you seen Project Alias? http://bjoernkarmann.dk/project_alias

Creating Automation Instructions for Friends/Guests
I've been thinking about the best way to create some instructions for visitors and guests to my home to become acquainted with use of the basic voice control of my home. I have Home Hubs in every room and have been playing around with the idea of creating short instructional videos covering both the guest rooms they may be using and the major public spaces. Through some careful naming of videos on youtube I can get a Google Home routine that responds to a specific voice command to display a list of my personal account videos that cover use of the automation in the rooms I described. So far they are place holder videos but the plan is to both record the home hub screen and the resulting actions in a very condensed video for each. I may also create routines that cycle through the automation actions as an additional demo. Before I spend time doing this I wanted to see what others may be doing to address this issue. Paul

I see they show up in the event viewer, not the log file.

Programs and Time?
How do you check them? I am setting a state variable in a program and don't see it in the log. Is there a log setting that I am missing?

Anyone have an ISY above the Arctic Circle? Sunrise (next day) could be interesting on certain dates.?

Programs and Time?
I would hope that it follows some standard like ISO where 0:00 is the start of the day and 23:59 is the end. This should mean that 12:00 to 23:59 should be almost the same (one second short) as 12:00 to 0:00 (next day). This means 12:00 to 0:00 (same day) should never be true.

Programs acting differently and inconsistency
Shouldn't be an "ism". Should have behaved as oberkc described in detail. Order of operations should have "AND" take precedence over "OR" without exception.

Glad the parens worked. The behavior you originally described is still disturbing.

Changes to state variable in log?
If I run the "Then" clause to the following program should all the changes to the state variable "sTemp" show up in the log? Test - [ID 0020][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then $sTemp = 1 $sTemp += 1 $sTemp += 1 $sTemp += 1 $sTemp += 1 $sTemp += 1 $sTemp += 1 $sTemp += 1 $sTemp += 1 $sTemp += 1 $sTemp += 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Programs acting differently and inconsistency
Guessing here - maybe you need some parens around the "or" clause.

Monitor Insteon switch power usage
FYI I am currently using a ZOOZ Zen15 Z-Wave+ to monitor power on my sump pumps. I am having problems. Somewhere along the communication chain my program is getting erroneous data. I check it every 5 minutes. Once the log indicated that more 100GWh have been used in those 5 minutes only to return to the previous value on the next update. This is happening on 2 devices. I can no find no reports of this type of problem on ZOOZ site or on the public internet. I have reported to UDI and provided logs at Michel's request but have yet to get a response.

Monitor Insteon switch power usage
Sorry, there are no Insteon devices that monitor power. There are Z-Wave plug options.

How to set up Google Home
I was actually going to suggest it when you first posted your issue. Sorry, but I didn't want anyone to think I thought Alexa wasn't culturally sensitive.

How to set up Google Home
This is long shot. Try changing the spelling of Theatre to the US spelling Theater. One of my systems is in Canada and I use US spellings exclusively. Paul

How to set up Google Home
Unlike Larry, I like the way GH groups devices. I fully populate room info except for a few devices which logically are not in a room. It saves me doing a lot of Insteon programming and lets me ask for example "Turn off all the Outside Lights". I don't mind the staggered effect when the go off. If it bothers you then you must create the Scenes Larry talks about. I also find that visitors/guests adapt more quickly to this room concept that having to learn a bunch of device names. YMMV

I'm also very happy with MyQ and Polyglot Node Server.

How to set up Google Home
Larry is talking about Google Home. You are using Alexa. Their implementations and behaviors are different.
