It has nothing to do with the programs. Alexa's ability to understand depends on the spoken name that you assigned them in ISY Portal. Benoit

I would try IFTTT instead. This would allow you to say: Alexa, trigger open shade Alexa, trigger close shade This is one extra word, but a but more natural than turn on/turn off Benoit

Instead of tying spokens directly to your I/O modules, you could use a program in between. Create one program: On the then clause: Turn on the first I/O Module. On the else clause: Turn on the second I/O Module. Add this program to the spoken list. This will allow to turn on and turn off your skylight more naturally. Benoit

Hello Tim, As I was saying, we dont have control over that. If Amazon releases such a feature, then we should support it. I have no clue what are Amazon's plans in that regard. For sure, that feature does not exists today. Benoit.

Michael, No updates were done on portal, except for the announced update on sunday the 19th. I believe your ISY was offline during that period. I'm sending you a log in a PM. Benoit

A 404 means that the request did not match any of the the portal endpoints. So this could be a typo in the URL path, or if using a GET instead of a POST.

Hello Tim, This is something we don't have control over. If Alexa ever supports it, then we could implement it. As stus pointed out, you could use a program, and trigger it with something like "Alexa, turn off front door lock", with front door lock being mapped to a program where the else clauses unlocks your door. Benoit.

Michael, I tested it, and it worked just fine. I also see plenty of successful requests in the logs. Please make sure to use a POST in your recipe. GET will not work. Benoit

The maintenance was on the 19th, in the morning. There were no changes to IFTTT APIs. I will test that and get back to you. Benoit

If we see that it still has a use, we will keep it. We would not remove it before doing a usage survey and analyzing the logs for usage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I know what is happening. Try a search with the device address instead of the name. If you renamed the ISY device name in the admin console, it will be different than the one shown on ISY Portal. When you add a device in your spoken list, the original ISY device name is used, but it is never refreshed. I believe it is refreshed only when you edit your spoken and save it again (with or without a change). Benoit.

If you are running a 5.x firmware, this is a known bug. 5.0.9 will hopefully solve that. This is due to the fact that the REST API in 5.0.x does not properly return the temperature. Benoit.

True. But echo has an auto-discover that runs every 1-2 hours. So, most users should see those appear automatically. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

They are totally independant. The only thing they share is the configuration UI in ISY Portal. They share the same set of spokens,

The New ISY smart home skill will support that, starting tomorrow. You will be able to ask: Alexa, is front door locked? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, you can disable the custom skill. In the web app (echo.amazon.com), click "skills" then "your skills" at the top right, select the ISY skill. Click Disable skill.

We currently are not planning any change for the custom skill. IMHO, we should just remove it. It still has a few features that the smart home skill has, but they are hard to use, and having both causes confusion Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The commands listed there on the wiki are for the ISY Smart Home skill. Some of these commands will only be live this coming Sunday. This includes locks support and some thermostat queries. When you use tell izzy to, you are referring to the ISY custom skill. This already supports locks, and has been so from the beginning. Starting sunday, the ISY custom skill will not be too relevant anymore, as most of the functionnality will now be available through the ISY smart home skill.

LOL

I'm an anti-procrastinator Benoit.

Hi, I found out the issue. It would happen both in Safari and Chrome whenever we are using private/incognito mode. This is now fixed, and will be in production on the next update. Benoit.

Hi Stu, I installed Firefox v52 ESR for testing, but it seems to work correctly. Do you get an error message or something? What does it do exactly? Are you using 64 or 32 bit? Thanks, Benoit

Portal login should work from an iPad. Benoit

No it's not. Try resetting your password.

Hello John, When you say "Alexa, tell isy to lock the .....", you are talking to the ISY custom skill. This has been working since the first implementation. Now, smart home skills (Alexa, lock ...) also support this since late February. This is currently developed and will be available on the next ISY Portal update. Note that you can only lock a door, or query the status. You cannot unlock. Alexa smart home skills do not support this for security reasons. Benoit
