Can you give us a snippet of what your looking at. My first thought would be those are zone definitions possibly but without more info who knows. You have a link to the resources your referring too? Ill have a look and if need be contact my Elk support tech for insight too. BTW what are you trying to do with this info once you have it?

I was in the same spot your in back in 2013 when I was building my home. Having access to a wide range of products I stayed with Insteon due to the fact they have a ton of devices for all kinds of things. Water leak detectors, hidden door sensors, keypads with multiple buttons, etc. I have been an ISY user since 2007 and for Insteon there is nothing better IMO. So I went that route and made sure to install a Leviton whole home surge on my electrical panel along with a phase coupler. Then all Insteons devices installed were dual band. For noisy appliances like washer, fridge etc I put a filterlinc on them and my system is solid for communications. As time goes on I ended up adding more devices like Elk Alarm, MyQ module, Honeywell RedLink Gateway for access, RTI remotes, Wireless Tags, etc so I quickly learned the ISY and the Mobilinc interface wasnt going to work for me. I then moved to RTI remote controls since it allows me to have total flexibility and control to design the GUI as I wanted for myself. With their app and hardware I can access, control and get status on all my devices in my home. The closest thing outside RTI I found was openHAB, which can be run on a cheap PC stick like the Azulle Access PC That I did a review on in the Coffee Shop section if you dont have a PC on 24/7. Azulle Quantum Access Mini PC Stick https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=http%3A%2F%2Fforum%2Euniversal-devices%2Ecom%2Findex%2Ephp%3F%2Ftopic%2F19200-Azulle-Quantum-Access-Mini-PC-Stick&share_tid=19200&share_fid=23986&share_type=t

So far there is no way to connect Caseta to ISY directly. As an professional AV installer myself I use the rticorp.com XP3 or XP6 processor in lieu of the ISY for situations like this. Theres nothing the the XP processor cant do that the ISY does outside Insteon. That being said the RTI is a professional installer product too. Sounds like you really are looking for a all in one hub to connect all your devices together nicely. I personally find the ISY cant be complete home hub for all products so you have to treat it like its own hardware then use something like openHAB to bring everything together in a nice UI.

This a professional product that sold and installed by AV Integration company normally unless you get it from elsewhere however Lutron will not warranty it. That being said its a great product and is 100% reliable.

Just tried this myself thanks for sharing. The thing is you can not turn on HEAT, AC or turn it OFF, this allows you to only change the setpoints in the current mode.

Amazon gives the Alexa ‘app store’ a makeover, now lets you add new Skills by voice https://techcrunch.com/2016/06/28/amazon-gives-the-alexa-app-store-a-makeover-now-lets-you-add-new-skills-by-voice/

How did you resolve it? Someone might want to know in the future.

FWIW Spotify is on the Echo

You have to send the username and password in the url with the maker channel.

I actually developed a add in for my RTI remote control system to control MyQ Chamberlain and Liftmaster GDOs. Was a pain to get the SSL and url properly working without them timing out. If you need any help feel free to PM me. I also suggested MyQ to be put into IO Guys NodeLink.

I can test for you as well. I have a Liftmaster MyQ GDO

I also think Alexa sounds a bit different (the voice or speed?)

FWIW within the last week Alexia has changed again. I can no longer say "Alexia open bedroom shades" - I must say "turn on" to open and "turn off" to close. So it may not be you or your programs bit that what once did work doesn't now.

As always insightful comments from you Larry. Here where I live in the PNW, PSE has hydro electric and our rates are about .12cents per kWh with no tiers. After installing my Brutech energy monitoring and shaving down costs I "maybe" saved 500kwh per month which is a $60 savings. At this rate it will take me more years than I want to admit to recover my energy monitoring investment than I save per month not to mention my time. I rather have spent that $60 towards a bottle of wine! [emoji3] On the flip side when I lived in CA I did PV as I was looking at a ROI in 3 years due to the tier system there from PG&E. I wish the government would stop giving rebates, yac deductions and grant handouts and just put that $$ into the Poco's pocket to recover the costs to switch to green sources. Give the Pocos the incentive to switch faster. Lets not begin to try and see if the ROI on an electric vehicle makes sense in CA or any state for that matter with oil prices where they are today. Maybe they do I dono I don't own a Tesla, I prefer to hear my engine. Lol

This all sound like unicorns in the sky! [emoji3] With oil production going down and our usage less depended on oil, more PV farms then ever before, plus the fact that we now have more energy saving appliances and the like, rates should be stabilizing or being lowered. Clean energy costs less to produce and we are using more of it everyday so why are the consumers (us) not seeing direct benefits yet is confusing to me. Oh no sorry its not! The utilities are saying "uh oh we are loosing money because of PV and we need to keep the rates where they are or start charging more so we don't disappoint our shareholders and fatcat executives who make billions of dollars in salary." Maybe I'm the only one who thinks this?

Not sure when it happened but now Amazon is back to letting me use the word "relaxing" for my scene instead of turning on the radio station as I reported previously. So "Alexa turn on relaxing" now is back working with my relaxing scene. FWIW

Your comment brings me back to the days I spent at the Catalina Jazz festival when I lived in Laguna Nigel. http://jazzfestival2016.com/events/jazz-festivals-in-north-america/catalina-island-jazztrax-festival/ ...and drank wine!

Michel, if I ever blame you for not trying to fix it I would be a hypocritical jackass because in post #32 I said "At the end of the day I don't care (if it gets fixed) and I rather v5 get the attention for an official release rather than going back and fixing v4 bugs. We have another six months or so until we need to change it again and the severity level is very low. Lets get v5 done." [emoji2] Granted there is a problem and I have done what was asked to show that.

That was already answered in post #10

What do you mean this is "getting way out if hand"? I was having a conversation with the other forum members. I think you are taking things to personally. I even posted about the banter back and forth. Relax. I'm not going to waste my time with submitting a ticket, I posted here and in the other thread and posted the screenshots you asked for. I have done all I have been asked of and posted my results.

BTW Love the banter guys.

Lol different MS but still a disease to some. Especially us Apple fanboys! Ill go knock on my neighbors door and have a fix in place tonight if the timezone is wrong! Lol I got a neighbor that works seems like in every division in my neighborhood.

Libraries? What are those? Someone said they contained books but that was like WAY back in the old days before the internet. When you say big do you mean people wise or territory size? Just because the size is large but full or trees and mountains doesnt mean it counts. Hahah I live in Redmond and Windows cant be wrong

It was enabled and it didnt work thats why I disabled it. So then changed the time server to make sure it wasnt the default time server that was an issue. That didnt fix it either. So I synced to the PC time. At the end of the day I don't care and I rather v5 get the attention for an official release rather than going back and fixing v4 bugs. We have another six months or so until we need to change it again and the severity level is level is very low. Lets get v5 done.
