Thanks for the update.

Is the ISY online on ISY Portal? Can you use the ISY Portal Web access? When unlinking/relinking GH, does it work? Do you see your device appearing in the GH App? Can you query the status of devices in the GH App? Benoit

Can you check in ISY Portal if your ISY is indeed offline? Benoit

Alexa. Smart Home skills cannot do this at this time. But this might be something Amazon adds eventually. The APIs are already there to query, which the mobile app uses.

In addition to querying thermostat, you can also query locks; Alexa, is front door locked? Regular devices, which includes variables, can't be queried by voice. However, they can be queried using the Alexa app. Benoit

Either this lock has been added in the past in ISY Portal and then removed, or it may be that you had alternate spokens on the device which are no longer there. Benoit

The fan can't be controlled via the mobile app. It can only be controlled by voice. If the device has the fan icon, you are good to go. You can ask the following: Turn on <spoken> Turn off <spoken> Set <spoken> to <Low|Medium|High> What's the speed of <spoken> Benoit

Exit the Amazon Echo dialog and get back in. The state variables shown are refreshed from ISY only when opening the Amazon Echo dialog. You could also try in your browser the following URL: http://<your isy ip>/rest/vars/definitions/2 This should get you your list of state variables. Benoit

That was fast!!

@Jimbo, the values have been adjusted. Can you try it again?

Checking

It's an easy change, but I'm wondering if this may be firmware dependant. Which version are you using? 5.x? Benoit

The API used to sync devices has a field for the room, and that field is set with the room configured in ISY Portal. When GH integration was initially implemented, I tested it and it did not work. This, and other documented features, were not working. I think they were planned, but not yet implemented on Google's side. It may very well have been implemented since then. This would need to be retested. Benoit

Can you test the values match the speed? Does setting it to 99 make it run at medium speed? Does setting it to 100 make it run at high speed? I could not test with a real fanlinc, so I relied on this: https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/12477-fanlinc-rest-api/?do=findComment&amp;comment=102016 Benoit

Which fan are you using? Low/Med/High are using FanLinc max values. Off is 0 Low is 49 Medium is 99 High is 100 Benoit

I have a surprise for you. ISY/GH now supports fans. In ISY Portal, edit the device, and just change the GH type to "Fan". All you need to do is: - Create the device, and chose the GH Category "Fan" (You can also edit your existing fan exposed as a light) - Click Send Spokens to Google Home (Or sync by asking GH) - Tests the vocal requests Turn on <fan> Turn off <fan> Set <fan> to Low|Medium|High What's the speed of <fan> (Should return Off|Low|Medium|High) This should work well with a fanlinc. If you have another sort of fan, your mileage may vary. Benoit

You don't lose the "Home". But you do lose the room assignments, unfortunately. Benoit

It did!

The skill does not know which Echo made the request. That is not possible. However, you may be able to send contextual command with the help of Alexa groups. When you have devices and an echo in the same Alexa group, you can say things such as "Alexa, turn on the light", and it will know that you want to turn on the lights in that group. Perhaps that you could do the same with thermostat, I have not tried it. Ref: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201749250 Benoit

Amazon has no specific vernacular to control curtains. It has to be done through: "Alexa, turn on <device>" or "Alexa, turn off <device>" Some users have been able to use "Alexa, close <device>", but this is highly dependant on the naming of the device, and likely to not work. "Alexa, open ...." is normally used to "open" a custom skill, so I doubt you will have success with it. So, I would suggest to first try with turn on/turn off, although it may not be as natural. To find out the device name, look at the devices in the Alexa app. You could also find it in ISY Portal, under Connectivity | Amazon Echo. Benoit

You need to use the mobile app, not web.

Please use the Google App to unlink and relink. Also, in your GH Spokens, if by any chance you only have scenes and or programs, please add a "dummy" device in there, one that changes at least every days. This is to keep the link active. Benoit

No, the update was not backed out. You should see "My Account" besides "ISY" and "Users". You should see "My profile" at the top right of the screen. The new option is shown only in My Profile. Benoit

No, I did not do anything in the background. I'm glad to see it's working. Benoit

To troubleshoot this, first go see the device in the Alexa app (Choose the device that has motion detected when value is 9). Can you see the motion detected/No motion change when the variable changes from 0 to 9? Benoit
