You people are wonderful. I swear that I had tried with "status" rather than "control," and it did not work. It works now. I decided to stick with programs because it works, and I do not want to mess with it. I thought I tried it with scenes some time ago, and it also did not work. So I am happy it works now. I also kept it as two programs rather than one because it works, and again, I do not want to mess with it. I will paste as text if I have a problem in the future, BUT, as I said, my ISY is now set up the way I want. with all seven z-wave, two X-10, one INSTEON, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home Mini devices all working nicely together. YEA!! It only took me four years, and as you can see, there are really not that many devices on it. Time to head to the beach!

Thanks. How do I define/create the scene in ISY Administrative Console? Here is a snapshot of the Main tab. The Programs | Details tabs are shown in the previous post. Also, I can see the device on my iPhone Alexa app. But I do not see scenes.

Everything working so far. I am trying to take this one step further. I want to control these basement lights with my Amazon Echo. Here are my ISY screens. So toggling "Office 2-way" works perfectly. Toggling off switches off all three lights. Toggling on switches on two lights. It works from either end of the two-way. Now, in the portal, I have defined "office lights" in the device list. The amazon app on my iPhone dings me and says that a device has been added "office lights," and that I can issue spoken commands "office lights on" to turn on and "office lights off" to turn off. When I do this however, only the office 2-way turns off. The plug-in and tool area switches do not turn off. Same for turning on. Can I make it so the entire program runs when I issue the spoken command? This is the very last thing I need done in my home automation. I am so looking forward to making this work.

Thanks for responding. It's not intuitive, as all software could be. It does not seem hard to change "on" to "switched on," and "off" to "switched off," just like the if statement shows after it is entered. I am just glad I got it to work.

@oberkc Thanks for the help. The ISY Console interface is not intuitive. If I had known that "Control" meant that the switch is switched on or off (and the program executed when that happens), I would have tried that. It does show up on the interface after the condition is entered. It shows "is switched on," whereas when selecting it, it just says "is on." Anyway, it did work. The lights work as programmed. Michel and programmers, it might be helpful if that "is" drop down that I am pointing to is changed to "is switched."

I have a ISY994izw with 300 dongle running version 5.0.16C. Several zwave, INSTEON, and even a few X10 switches all working well together. I have three switches in my basement. One is a single pole switch. The second is an old X10 switch. The third is a two-way with one switch at the top of the stairs and the other at the bottom. I am able to control all three of these with Alexa voice commands, and have also included them in programs that execute at various times of day. Here is my dilemma. With any combination of the lights associated with these switches on or off, I want to be able to toggle down on the switch at the top of the stairs, and have all three switches turn off all the lights associated with these three switches. I have tried to create a scene with all three switches, but of course the X10 switch cannot be included in a scene. However, when I create the scene with just the zwave switches, I still do not get a desired result. The off combination works (it shuts off both zwave switches), but the on combination does not because it turns on both zwave switches, and I only want one on in this circumstance. So, I believe I want a program that turns off all lights associated with three switches, and I want that program to run when a certain zwave switch is toggled off. I then want another program that turns on all lights associated with two switches, and I want that program to run when a certain zwave switch is toggled on. I have not figured out how to trigger a program to run when a zwave command has been issued.

About to ask another question, and decided to comment here because I had not responded to the recent messages. I trashed the Minoston, as it just did not seem to work. I switched to Jabra's Enbrighton switches and they work great. I installed five of them throughout the house, including a two-way. The instructions are easy. I now have five zwave light switches, one INSTEON switch, two Schlage locks, and two old X10 switches. The ISY994izw is great. It controls all of them. And also through my Google Home Mini and my Amazon Echo. Thanks for your help. Please look for another post from me asking another question. It is a new question, so I did not want to put it here.

I apologize that I neglected to specify this on a previous message when you asked what is my ISY firmware version. It is indeed 5.0.16C. I do have a an ISY backup that contained the Z-wave devices. When I restored it, the Z-wave devices did not return. I did not take a separate Z-wave backup. I figured that the ISY backup would save the Z-wave information. Apparently, it does not. Since they were not in the ISY backup, I unenrolled all three Z-wave devices (even thought they did not appear in the controller display). I also factory reset my Schlage locks. I attempted to enroll the Schlage locks and the Minoston wall switch. They would not reenroll.

I have a 300 dongle. I know this because there is a blue lamp on the back, and the posts say that if you have that, you have a 300 dongle. My Insteon devices and programs are all working. even my old X10 devices are working.

I cannot now add any devices to my Z-Wave network. I think I have ruined the Z-Wave dongle. I was able to add the devices with the previous firmware. Do you think I should return to the previous firmware?

I did not know what a Z-Wave dongle is, but I was able to figure it out from the help pages. I have a blue lamp on the back of my device. I installed the above firmware. Thankfully, my device was not ruined, as it states in some of the help. The Z-Wave options now appear. Thank you for your help.

Thanks for your help folks. First, I was able to upgrade to v5.3.4. Then, while struggling through the various help pages, I decided to reset the device. I restored the backup. resetting networking to DHCP. The device went online. Help | About still says that Internet Access is Disabled, but I think this is what it is supposed to show. Configuration | Portals shows the device is online to the Portal. When I go to the Portal, it says it is online. It is looking good. As expected, the Z-Wave devices did not restore from the backup. And Z-Wave menu shows "Z-Wave dongle not responding." I hope I am not hosed in that I have an ISY994izw that no longer supports Z-Wave. This would really stink. Can you help me on this, or direct me to where I can do so?

So how do I get the doggone thing connected to the internet?

I have ISY994i.I am following the instructions pages 443-449 of manual. I choose File Enable Internet, I get error message "Failed Enabling Internet Access." In Admin Console, Configuration Portals, my device shows Offline Registered. How do I get it online to use the Portal Integration. Also need to update to firmware 5, as I have no button to upgrade the firmware. Can I be helped?
