ISY skill will soon no longer work at all on Alexa+
What is being removed on November 1st is support for the Amazon Smart Home API V2. This used to be the case for our older "ISY Optimized for Smart Home V2" skill. The "ISY Optimized for Smart Home V3" skill uses the Amazon Smart Home API V3. This is still supported and the only current way to implement a Smart Home skill for Alexa. When using Alexa+, this still works with smart home skills. The new "AI-native SDK for Alexa+" allows to develop custom skills. I guess it could be used to control devices, just like the older Alexa custom skill API could do. But regardless, smart home skills using the V3 API is still the current way to develop smart home skills. Now, I have had many reports of users receiving the warning you mention. I do not know for sure why. I believe this may happen if you used to have the older ISY Optimized for Smart Home V2. Either it's still there (along with the V3 skill), or there's some remnants of the older devices existing in the account. In preparation, make sure the skill you are using is "ISY Optimized for Smart Home V3". On November 1st, if you see some devices are no longer responding, please do this: Login to the Alexa app, test the device there. If you see it is not working, delete it from the Alexa app. Ask "Alexa, discover my devices". This should recreate the device in your Alexa app based on the configuration you have on my.isy.io. If it doesn't, login to my.isy.io, look under Select tool | Connectivity | Alexa. Make sure that your device is there. If it is not, create it. It may be that device was created a long time ago using the V2 skill. With the V3 skill, the device discovery will create a V3 device in your Alexa account.

Switch triggering a state variable to activate alexa
Make sure the variable comes back to an Off value after being "On". The other thing to be aware when testing is that the variable's value can't change too quick. If for example it becomes on, then off then on again within just a few seconds, it will be seen as a single "On". Think of a motion sensor. When it detects movement, it stays in a motion state detected state for a few seconds then comes back to no motion detected after a set timeout. This works the same way. You can change your variable to On then Off quickly, but you can't turn it on again too quickly as it will be considered the same motion (or the same contact).

Numerous messages showing on EISY console
I have no clue where the messages comes from, but I doubt it's related to eisy-ui. I'd recommend to open a ticket, and include a sample of the log.

Upgrading from old upgradable version to 7.0/7.1
You can upgrade all in one shot. Just make sure to follow the directions for the update to IoX 6.0.0. For the purpose of clarification, the latest IoX version is currently 6.0.0, and the latest eisy-ui version is 0.7.0. These are 2 different things. eisy-ui, regardless of the version, requires IoX 6.x

Amazon dropping support for ISY skill.
- eisy-ui confusion
For now, you can only view/control nodes. Eventually, scenes, programs & variables will be supported.- Questions after update to IoX v.6.0.0
I'm not sure why it would be working now. There has been no fixes released that would be related.- Periodic rebooting after 6.0 upgrade
What tells you it's an actual reboot, and not a loss of connectivity or a service restarted?- eisy-ui with no status / Subscriptions not working
Here's a solution if you get any of these symptoms: Starting Admin Console, you get a message "Starting Subscription..." which does not go away In eisy-ui, you get no status In UD Mobile, you get no status If you get any of these symptons, please start the admin console and "Upgrade packages" Explanation: In some cases, your unit may be having a bad certificate that eisy-ui uses to connect internally. If so, you can't get any subscription. Upgrade package will bring eisy-ui to version 0.6.3 which will detect the bad certicate and have it recreated. - eisy-ui confusion
