I have been using the echo flex with motion sensor and an Alexa routine to update a state variable in the ISY (exposed via the portal as a dimmable light)..... my experience is a 1-2 second delay, but I haven't timed it. But it works and it doesn't need batteries. Cheaper than most other options (especially on black Friday).

I think you have door sensors attached to your ISY that, when triggered, you want Alexa to announce to all of your echos “The front door is open.” Is that the case??

Will my scene idea work?

I bought some flexes and motion detectors. I use motion detectors in Alexa routines and they work fine. Any idea how to directly link them back to the ISY? I was thinking about creating a scene, exposing it through the portal, and then using the Alexa routine to control the scene. Haven’t tried it yet.... hallway; mud room; bathrooms
