Yeaahhhh! It is the word "change" I needed. Need to add that to the wiki.

I kind of realized that after I unlinked the device and realized you had to do the discover. But still, nothing on input selection. I have changed the volume and turned it on/off, but no input. Alexa says stuff like that device can't do that or hmmmm . . .

OK, but I still did "forget" and discover, the device is there on the alexa app.

The device is there and other features work. I am trying things like "alexa set input to satellite on device" and "alexa set device input to satellite" I'm feeling like that SNL skit here.

I have toggled the live update, I have gone in and "forgotten" the AV device and re-discovered.

I"ve tried all kinds of things from just numbers (numerals or written out) to things like satellite and CD and seedee.

I'm having trouble getting the AV inputs to work. What is the correct language? The wiki does not include the language for inputs.

I added an AV device to my Alexa without any errors in the process. But it didn't work. I finally unlinked then relinked it and now it works.

You are correct, it has been quite some time since most (maybe all) Insteon devices required a reboot after setting up links.

I don't know if anyone else has had this. But yesterday when I started to mess around with some new stuff, Google home wasn't synced. When I went to save my changes, I got an error that it failed authentication. I hadn't made any changes to anything, so I don't know why this would have happened. I also found that one of my google home commands was missing from list and none of the remaining ones worked until I resynced.

I have taken a different approach to this since the UDI geo-fence app simply isn't working in its current form. I have set Tasker's (android app) http post function to issue the url provided by the portal, to the portal to execute the in/out state of my phone for my two geo-fenced locations (home/work). Instead of using gps location, Tasker is triggered by my phones wifi status. Connecting to my work wifi sets my work geo fence as "true", Disconnecting does the opposite, and the same for my home wifi. I have used it for 2 days now and it has worked properly. It also has a borderline zero battery draw whereas gps geo-fencing is not insignificant. To add to the fun, I have an ISY program which triggers upon home becoming true/false which sends a network resource command to my PC running EventGhost. EventGhost runs an Autohotkey script which opens Google Voice on the computers web browser and sets my calls to forward/not forward to my home phone as appropriate. Unfortunately, I used to have a plugin for Tasker which would directly tell Google Voice to forwared/not forward, but Google changed the API and kept it secret . .. so Autohotkey pretending to be a real live person web-surfing is it for now. To summarize: phone wifi -> Tasker -> ISY Portal -> ISY Node change -> ISY Program runs network resource -> Event Ghost -> Autohotkey -> Google Voice All that just to get a phone to ring or not ring.

I'm speaking theoretically here since I haven't tried this, but the portal does support reporting theremostat temps upon a logical statement listed as "what is the inside temperature". The logic does fail since the pool is not "inside". I also don't know what it does if you have more than one thermostat since that command as listed in the wiki includes no mention of the device name. I have seen hacks where people have adapted ISY linkable thermostats to read temps from liquids.

I also realized that the geo-fence is also a node. So I have two nodes, CAI webcontrol and Geo-Fence.

Any word on this getting fixed? The geo-fence just doesn't update unless I open the app.

the log was about 5.5 and the error about 4.5

My only node server is the webcontrol using ioguy's program running on a pc. I'll send the error log. EDIT: Email to you bounced. Not sure if you have a size limit? The two files were about 10 MB combined. I'll try one at a time. OK, got it. You swapped the i and v in universal devices and I had cut and pasted it.

I have been running 5.x.x since the very beginning. Not every version. This is the first I have had this happen and I am running 5.0.13 since a few days after it was put out.

I pulled the log. The ISY rebooted at 10:03:18 WebControl8 Status 1 Sat 2018/08/04 10:02:53 PM System Log 0 null Sat 2018/08/04 10:03:18 PM System Start WebControl8 Status -1 Sat 2018/08/04 10:03:44 PM System Log

I have not seen any issues with either my google home or amazon alexa finding my isy except last night. I had my issue last night at roughly 10pm. I was not interested in pursuing it at the time and simply pushed the light switch. It is entirely possible that it was 10:03. Which brings me to the conclusion that either: 1) The google home command caused the reboot 2) Coincidentally, my google home command was issued during the reboot.

After other unexpected program behavior today, I checked my ISY. It appears that I had a reboot last night at 10:03pm. Or at least a program reset occurred at that time. I have recently updated to the latest 5.0.13 firmware. I have never seen ISY reboot for no reason (except on DST day when it does the second random reboot. .. which is a whole other thread).

I'm going to have to pull back on my praise. Yesterday google told me that Universal Devices appears to be offline or something to that affect when I tried to turn on some lights with it. I never experienced anything like that with IFTTT. This morning it is working. I never did any sort of investigation as to what might have happened.

Just FYI, I checked my geo fence today on ISY. It said I was at home. I'm at work and have been here for 8 hours. As soon as I opened the app, it immediately updated. But I had to open the app. Hoping this update will fix things.

Awesome. Thanks.

I don't know how a battery saving mode would be set one way or the other. I left work today about 60 minutes ago and checked my status just now. It still says I am at work even though I have been home for more than 45 minutes. Both the time interval and distance were set to their minimum of 1 meter and .5 minutes in the app. After I opened the app, it updated pretty quickly. I didn't choose 1 meter and .5 minutes, it seems those were defaults (and a bit overkill). I'm using a galaxy s8. EDIT: I found in Android where I can tell the phone to not put apps to sleep and added UDI mobile. I also changed it to 5 minutes which is all I need. I'll see what happens.

I have been home now for about 30 minutes and it still hasn't updated true. I finally opened the app and after scrolling around in the app (not hitting update) it finally updated the server. Is this expected behavior? My wifes phone still hasn't updated (she got home at same time as me). EDIT: I just left my wife's phone to itself. It finally updated at 11:15pm. Roughly an hour after entering the geo-fence.
