  1. A fix has been done. It should work better now. Benoit
  2. If both HTTP/HTTPS ports were changed, you could use telnet to get command line access. The command CWP would allow you to change back your HTTP or HTTS ports. Benoit
  3. Yes, precisely The echo elk feature allows to expose zones as motion or contact sensors. GH does not have the concept of motion or contact sensors yet.
  4. Try this: In ISY Portal: Remove the device from your GH list, and re-add it. Sync your device with GH (With button in the UI, or vocally) The thermostat uom is detected by ISY Portal when it is added to your GH list of devices. Benoit
  5. Almost. The ‘vocal library’ is created by Amazon. All that ISY Portal is doing is creating an Echo A/V device and maps some or all of the functions to ISY resources (network resources, state variables or programs) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. The network resources are on ISY. The ISY is therefore required. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. There's no real docs on this topic, but it's fairly easy once you grasp the concept. When you add an 'A/V device', this creates an Alexa A/V device. Of course, ISY is not an A/V device, but you can have network resources which controls A/V devices. So when you create an Alexa A/V device, you can wire the relevant Alexa functionnality to your network resources (Or State variables, or programs, if this simplifies things for you). So, let's say you want to control a TV, and you have network resources for On, Off, Volume Up, Volume down, you just have to map those to the A/V device you created. Once the device is created and discovered by Alexa, you can use your A/V device. To help you know how you can control, go back to your A/V device on ISY Portal, and hover the fields label. This will tell you what to say. Alternatively, you can refer to this: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Portal_Amazon_Echo_Integration_V3#A.2FV_Devices Benoit
  8. The maintenance is now completed.
  9. Hello everyone, We will have a maintenance this Sunday 02-10-2019 at 5:00 AM PDT which will last for up to 1 hour. During this period, your ISY will disconnect for a few brief moments. New feature: There will be no new features. Maintenance: Update SSL Certificates Install OS patches Benoit
  10. I made a fix to ISY Web Access. Can someone try it to make sure it indeed fixes the problem?
  11. Just to be precise, the fix for ISY Portal is done, but this only fixes Echo and GH. The ISY Web Access currently is not fixed. Benoit
  12. @MWareman, this change is now in production. You can use the same spoken as long as they are in a different room. Can you test it and see if this works well for you? Benoit
  13. Well, you can leave it as an Alexa scene, and control the scene in the routine. The Alexa app however only allow to turn on the scene. It does not support turning off the scene at this time. If you need to be able to turn off a scene, the work-around is to expose it as a device. Benoit
  14. Thanks for reporting this. This is now fixed. An ISY scene exposed as an Alexa light | switch | outlet can now be used in a routine. Please note that if it is exposed as a light, this will give you the option to set the Alexa device to an absolute percentage. Of course, ISY scenes do not support this, so if the percentage is >= 50%, it will be turned on, otherwise it will be turned off. Also, an ISY scene exposed as an Alexa scene can also be used in a routine. However, it can only be activated (turned on). It can't be deactivated (turned off). Whenever Amazon adds the capability to deactivate/turn off the scene , this will work with ISY Portal. The scene is already marked as supporting deactivation. In order to support scenes in routines, I had to do a breaking change and remove the capability to brighten/dim an Alexa scene. I think this is better in the long run. Ref: Benoit
  15. Hello everyone, From now on, Alexa scenes can no longer be brightened/dimmed. If you used to brighten/dim your scene, edit your scene in ISY Portal, and change the Alexa category to "Light". This will make your ISY scene behave like a light to Alexa, and thus allow you to brighten/dim. Please note that ISY scenes can be brightened/dimmed, but not be set to an absolute level. If you ask Alexa to turn on your device to x%, the scene will be either turned on or off. If the percentage >= 50%, the scene will be turned on. If the percentage is <50%, the scene will be turned off. Benoit
  16. John, Just tried it and I see what you mean. I don't know why the Alexa App behaves this way. It may not like scenes with a brightnessController. A quick fix would be to expose your ISY Scene as an Alexa device. In ISY Portal, edit your device and change the Alexa category to "light". It will appear to Alexa as a device. Benoit
  17. ISY Scenes can be brightened and dimmed, but can't be set to an absolute brightness level. In the V2 skill, we could give a scene the capability to be brightened and dimmed, without the capability to be set to an absolute level. In the V3 skill, which uses the Smart Home V3 API, the brightness capabilities are combined. To retain the ability to brighten/dim a scene, we had to give it the "brightnessController" capability, which allows to brighten/dim a scene, but also set it to an absolute level. Of course, ISY scenes don't support absolute levels, so whenever we receive a request to set a scene to an absolute level, the scene will be turned on or off if the brightness level >=50% (on) or <50% (off). With V3, the side effect in routines is that a scene looks like a dimmer which can be set to ab absolute level. Long story short, to turn on the scene in a routine, set the percentage >=50% to turn it on, and <50% to turn it off. Benoit
  18. This is not currently planned. I will discuss with Michel. Thanks, Benoit
  19. Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to see everyone is up and running. Benoit
  20. I investigated the logs for Cap, elliot and Bipto. For elliott and Bibto, things look normal. Do you experience duplicate spokens like cap does? Just wondering if there may be a different issue or not. If you have duplicate spokens, you may want to unlink, delete spokens and relink. For Cap, I see lots of device discoveries starting about 3 hours ago. Amazon does regular device discoveries on schedule. I can't differentiate between a manual request you would have made, and a scheduled one. I see 14 discovery within 3 hours, and this does not look normal to me. I even see some of them milliseconds apart, which are clearly not a manual request. That may explain duplicate spokens that you see in the Alexa app as well. My recommendation would have been to unlink, remove spokens and relink, but you already did that. I would then suggest the following. 1. Unlink the skill 2. Delete spokens in the Alexa app 3. Go to Amazon.com, click Accounts & Lists. Under Other accounts, click Login with Amazon. If you see anything related to UDI, remove it. 4. Relink Benoit
  21. @elliot & @cap, please PM me your uuid, I'll see if I can find something. I confirm there has been no changes on ISY Portal for a while. Benoit
  22. If you can control through the app, this means that it is properly configured. You don't need to send spokens as they are already there. Can you try using the Google Assistant app? Click on the mic icon and try to control. I think it may be because Google Home is configured with a different Google Account than the one you are using with the GH app.. Benoit
  23. Please PM me your uuid, will check the logs. Benoit
  24. I would try to recreate the routine. There are cases where it may help. Benoit
