I followed your instructions. I deleted the spoken word (in the portal and in the Alexa app), I attempted to set the hint but it was already set to 1.2.9.0. I then added the spoken word back in the portal and then performed a device discovery. Still showing as on/off in Alexa app. Here is the node info, the hint is showing the expected 1.2.9.0 value: <nodeInfo> <script/> <node flag="128" nodeDefId="ZB27726_011_1"> <address>ZB27726_011_1</address> <name>Living Room Lamp - Local</name> <family>14</family> <hint>1.2.9.0</hint> <parent type="3">24684</parent> <type>255.1.255.255</type> <enabled>true</enabled> <deviceClass>0</deviceClass> <wattage>0</wattage> <dcPeriod>0</dcPeriod> <startDelay>0</startDelay> <endDelay>0</endDelay> <pnode>ZB27726_011_1</pnode> <property id="ST" value="0" formatted="0%" uom="51" name=""/> </node> <properties> <property id="OL" value="100" formatted="100%" uom="51" name=""/> <property id="RR" value="" formatted=" " uom="0"/> <property id="ST" value="0" formatted="0%" uom="51" name=""/> </properties> </nodeInfo> The other 2 hue devices you are likely seeing are coming from hue integration on the polyglot server, just an fyi.

@bmercier, I removed the device from the Alexa app, updated the device hint to 1.2.9.0, and performed a discovery. Still showing as a on/off light with no dimming capabilities.

I moved a Hue Bulb over to the direct Zigbee connection with the EISY. I am able to control all the functions in the EISY, including the brightness. I add the bulb to the Alexa Echo in the portal along with updating the Device Hint to 1.0.0.0 (dimmable bulb) but the Alexa App is only showing the bulb as on/off. In the past, when I Integrated the Hue bulbs using Polyglot, I updated the Device Hint to 1.0.0.0 and the dimming worked. Any ideas how to make a Zigbee Connected Hue Bulb dimmable with Alexa?

I had the same issue. I have a fully Unifi network. My EISY went offline around 3 this morning around the same time as my USW Lite 16 PoE switch was updated, which the EISY is plugged into. I rebooted the switch and now it is connected back to the portal. Might have been an issue with the switch update.

@Geddy, I tried the discovery through the Alexa website with another Insteon light, the device was not discovered, just like through voice. Not sure what the issue is.

Thanks @bmercier for the info, I was able to add the device to the voice commands in the portal. I am having another issue when it comes to the Alexa's picking up the new devices. If I ask Alexa to discover new devices (insteon and hue), they are not discovered (I can't find this discovery option in the Alexa app anymore). If I disable the Smart Home V3 and enable/device discovery in the Alexa app, the recently added devices now show up. Any idea what is happening here? Also is there a list of device hints? This is new to me from what I can recall.

I am trying to add my hue lights to Amazon Echo in the ISY portal. I am getting an error message of HTTP error 400: Device cannot be added to spoken database (see screen shot below). I tried different spoken words and all the Hue lights with the same error. I am currently using an eisy with the Hue node server on the internal polyglot 3 server. I can control the Hue lights (4 bulbs with 2 rooms/scenes) from Admin Console. I am able to add Insteon devices successfully and can control them with the Echos. On my old ISY994 I was able to control, with Amazon Echos, my Hue lights with polyglot running on a raspberry pi. This was over a year ago. Not sure if anything changed since then with the newer hardware and Polyglot 3. Any ideas?
