  1. I'd suggest to expose the variable as a device instead. The added benefit is that a variable exposed as a device can have a brightness level which translates to the variable value. In other words, turning on the "variable" to 50% will set it to 50. Benoit
  2. Just to be sure, are you using the same Amazon account for both echo? Or do you have a different one for both home? You need to have one per residence. Setting up a second residence is the same process as your primary one, but you have to have: Different echos for both homes (I assume you don't move them between houses) 2 Different Amazon accounts. One used for the primary residence, one used for the secondary residence. 2 Different ISY Portal user profiles. Each one must have the preferred ISY set to the appropriate ISY. They can both be in the same ISY Portal account. Then, when you link, you have to login to alexa.amazon.com using the Amazon account related to the residence you want to configure, and link to the appropriate ISY Portal user profile. Doing this should not affect the other residence if it uses a different amazon account. Benoit
  3. What do you mean? An ISY is not "linked" to anything. An Amazon account links to an ISY Portal User profile, which is "linked" to an ISY (by specifying the preferred ISY). If you are referring to the "Amazon account linked to" box under "My Profile", please disregard. It is no longer used when using the V3 skill. Are you referring to the account linking when you enable the skill in the Alexa app? Benoit
  4. Absolutely. Just to clarify, here's how things are linked together. If both homes have their own Echo and their own ISY, you don't even need sub-accounts. Echo A uses Amazon account A, which is linked to ISY Portal user A. This ISY Portal User A needs to have ISY A as his preferred ISY. Echo B uses Amazon account B, which is linked to ISY Portal user B (Can be in same account as ISY Portal User A). This ISY Portal User B needs to have ISY B as his preferred ISY. That's it. Benoit.
  5. A variable is exposed to Google Home as if it was a dimmer. So as you already know, you can set it to a specific value by asking to turn it on to a specific percentage. You can ask something like: Okay Google, what is the kitchen brightness? This will tell you the actual variable value. This is not too intuitive, but it works. Benoit
  6. No, there are no plans at this time. It's more complex to implement because a node has custom controls. Therefore, the AV UI would need to allow selection of the node, plus one of the valid controls taken from the nodedef. Perhaps if there are many users who requests it, we would revisit this feature. Benoit
  7. Try to turn on/turn off the scene from the admin console. This is essentially what the echo does when turning on or off a scene. Benoit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. When I tried again yesterday, somehow I had a sort of reCaptcha I had to enter, then it worked. Not sure why I had that. Initially, I though Amazon might have solved something. This behavior leads me to think it may be something related to the Amazon profile somewhere. This might be an issue with a cookie or cache too, but I doubt it because when it was not working, I had tried 3 browsers and experienced the same issue. I tried IE and Firefox, which I very rarely use. I think a support call to Amazon might help.
  9. Oh, good to know Thanks, Benoît Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I'm not sure that what you did helped. I had the problem. Retried many times. Then tonight it suddenly worked. I think Amazon solved something in the last few hours. Benoit
  11. It seems to be working now. At least for me. @andersol, can you retry and let me know? Benoit
  12. I tried it and I'm seeing the same problem. There seems to be an issue at Amazon. I'm contacting Amazon support. Benoit
  13. Sure, that is possible Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. There has been no changes to AV for quite a while Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. You probably don't need ISY Portal for this. Given that the remote is probably on the same network as the ISY, I would suggest to directly connect to your ISY, and pass the credentials in the URL, if the remote supports it. Otherwise, perhaps an IFTTT recipe with a custom applet that has "IF" GET URL triggered "Then" Maker channel which connects to the ISY Portal inbound event. I don't know if there is an "IF" who could accept a simple GET request. Benoit
  16. Not ideal, and may not work in all browsers. I'm not sure exactly what exactly what you want to achieve, but the idea of using an IFTTT inbound event is a great idea. I would look at a solution that involves sending a POST request. Perhaps a web page, CURL, etc. Benoit
  17. That won't work from a browser - The HTTP method has to be a POST, not GET. Benoit
  18. Oops, this is indeed for Alexa. Too much context switching So you were asking about the "open" and "close". We have no control over that. Alexa interprets the voice, and calls our API. Because she does not understand open/close, our API is not called. Benoit
  19. There is an API to unlock the door, and it is already implemented. There is no API to allow the unlock. You have to go the the GH App, edit the device, enable unlock by voice, and choose a PIN. Benoit
  20. Hello Everyone, The maintenance is complete. When sending spokens to Google Home, if you get a PERMISSION_DENIED error, please unlink and relink with Universal Devices. That will solve it. Benoit
  21. nathagt, This is an older topic, but just wanted to let you know that unlock by voice works with ISY locks. When you enable unlock, you need to enter a 4 digit code. When you ask Alexa to unlock, she will ask you for that code. Benoit
  22. I see the account linking attempts, and everything looks good from here. I would suggest to either try with Amazon support or perhaps reset the echo. You could also try the following: Go to www.amazon.com Login Go to Your Account Under Other Account, click on Login With Amazon. If you see something relate to UDI, click to remove it. Benoit
  23. I have no clue what the issue can be, but if you PM me your UUID, I will look at the logs and see if I can find anything suspicious. Please specify a date/time (with time zone) of a failed request. Benoit
  24. Hello everyone, We will have a maintenance this Sunday 07-08-2018 at 5:00 AM PDT which will last for up to 2 hours. During this period, the subscription servers will be restarted, which will drop any active subscriptions. If you use Mobilinc, the app will automatically reconnect when it's back online. The main change is to introduce the new Google Home Report State feature. For now, these changes will not be visible. The Report State will send your device states to Google in real time, but only those for which you have created a spoken. This is similar to the Alexa Proactive State Report which is activated by the "Live Update" button. For Google Home though, there will be no toggle, it becomes active the minute the skill is enabled. Benoit
  25. For GH, can you unlink and relink? Benoit
