Depending on what you re trying to do there are possibilities. You can use ISY devices and variables to trigger Routines in Alexa but Alexa devices are not made available in ISY.

I knew there were at least a couple of people wanting this functionality and I think it is a great addition to the eisy even though I don't use it very much. It took a little more programming then the old IR input of the 944 but I figured out how to make a single button control the on and off because free buttons are valuable when you are trying to control so many things. I like it even though I'm the only one who knows what all the buttons are for!

@Dan1does your firmware and UI match it is located in Help menu at the top then About. If it does not match you need to clear your Java cash including Installed applications. You should also download a new start.jnlp file.

I don't know what is installed but Michel had to install it on my eisy during a service ticket. He said a node server I was using needed it.

I want to say thank you to @firstoneI worked with him to get this working and I am able to operate a light with the remote using 2 variables and 3 programs to keep everything in sync so when I press one button on the remote it will turn the light on or off depending on the state it is in already. LRLtOn - [ID 000C][Parent 000F] If $SLRLt is 1 Then Set 'Living Room Light' On Else Set 'Living Room Light' Off LRLtVarOff - [ID 0053][Parent 000F] If 'eISY IR Controller / IR Button Up' State is Pressed Or 'LR Fan-Light' Status is Off And $ILRLt is not 0 Then $ILRLt = 0 $SLRLt = 0 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') LRLtVarOn - [ID 0054][Parent 000F] If 'eISY IR Controller / IR Button Up' State is Pressed Or 'LR Fan-Light' Status is not Off And $ILRLt is not 1 Then $ILRLt = 1 $SLRLt = 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

The reinstall is done frequently lately there have been glitches in PG3X that require it and it should not change the license. Just to be clear you don't delete it you just go under purchases in PG3 and pick install then there is an option to reinstall it in the slot it is already in. Mine were logging and had values in PG3X but were not sending anything IoX and that got running again.

Did you try restarting or reinstalling in the same slot for the node servers in PG3? I noticed mine were not reporting to IoX after the update but they were running in PG3 and I think it was a reinstall that fixed it for me.

@Chris Jahn if we have a certain Z-Wave devices that are not reporting correctly on the ZMatter adapter do we need to open a ticket to get this straightened out or will this come with time as all the kinks get worked out? If we are supposed to put in a ticket what information do you want with it?

I had this same behavior after update and on additional restarts of eisy.

@firstoneunfortunately today it is giving me a notice Could not connect Flirc device. Make sure device is plugged in and permissioans are set. I have restarted and run the sudo command and it does not help. I can not find a device log file I know there are log files in /var/log but none named device. I can plug it into my computer and see the button presses so I think it is setup properl.

I have some keys programmed and the node server says connected but I don't think it is working I will do some more testing after work. I did all the steps and I know the sudo command is going to be something I forget eventually but hopefully not at this early stage. For testing purposes should remote button presses show up in the ssh window if it is working properly?

That got it running! I looked at the USB device Flirc program and I can select Kodi from the controllers when I press a button it ask to map it to a key and when I press a button on the Harmony it sees it but I don't see anything to save that or if it is automatically saved to the device. I tried pressing buttons while it is plugged into eisy but it does not seem to do anything. eISYIR_1-18-2023_93359-PM.zip

Thank you for all you do here keeping the forum well structured!

Thank you for the quick response @firstone I don't know how I screwed that up when I copied and pasted but anyway I fixed that and reran the commands and it looked like it went fine but the node server won't start log attached eISYIR_1-18-2023_81339-PM.zip

@firstoneI would first like to say thank you for creating this node server! I received my FLIRC adapter today and tried to setup the node server but was unable to complete it. I shutdown eisy installed the FLIRC adapter, started eisy then installed the node server from the store and tried running the commands I copied from the github site and it seemed like the first command worked but then the other 2 failed. I assume if I use the Flirc Kodi device in Harmony I don't have to do anything to the FLIRC adapter before using it??

Thank you that was very helpful!

@MWaremando you know a way to watch the pkg program as it runs or a log that I can look at after to monitor if there are any problems?

This sounds interesting! I assume we can get a generic adapter like this https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Remote-Control-Receiver-Raspberry/dp/B01NBRBWS6/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=S0BU68DGO9YX&keywords=Flirc+IR+USB&qid=1673840873&sprefix=flirc+ir+usb%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExVTBVRzVMMEZPQjlQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDE3NjAwMVVLRjBTRlk4U0ZZTCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMDc1NzI5MllTQU9JNTJTOUUxMSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= then we would be able to load the old codes that were used for ISY and are available in Harmony for it?

I have Sensative window/door sensors that shows open and idle so this seems like a issue with certain class of device. I'm hesitant to open a ticket because I'm pretty sure UDI is aware of the problem and it feels like I would just be piling on what they are aware of.

You can scroll through them on UD Mobile. If the item has a numeric value you could pass it on to a variable to be able to see it. There are ways around this depending on what you are trying to accomplish.

You will also need the wire adapter kit UDI sells to connect your serial PLM to the USB port on eisy.

What hardware and software versions are you running on? Have you checked the PG3 log and restarted PG3 after install?

No is there anything in the log file that might shed some light on what is happening?

I would wait for the next update that is supposed to help with the Z-Wave stuff that is expected soon. If not I think your next step would be a ticket with UDI.

Thank you @Jimbo.Automatesthat allowed it to connect to the portal I did notice the eisy was showing connected on both wireless and wired on my router. Thank you @bpwwer for all you do on here, I appreciate all the work you do to get the system so robust for us!
