Unfortunately, resetting cache didn't help. Same message.

I have factory reset card multiple times and I have factory reset module multiple times. I'm using z-wave card that came with ISY. I'm assuming it's z-wave+ since it came directly from UDI and that's what's listed. Will try to reset java cache.

No, it's a plug-in dimmer. I've used it with ISY successfully before but now have moved and have new clean ISY.

It's Leviton Vizia plugin (VRC0P) that I'm usually using to extend network for z-wave locks. It's plugged in 1 foot away from ISY. Firmware 5.0.16. Using admin console. From the logs it seems like it's not specifically a z-wave issue. Seems like it's actually added to z-wave but rather cannot be added to ISY. I might be wrong.

Having an issue adding new z-wave device. I don't have any other devices in ISY right now. Not sure if that's an issue. Tried multiple times to exclude and include.

I have same one and had insteon dimmers fail or required reset after power loss a few times.

I didn't have issue with Alexa control. I've had issues with Alexa not being responsive while there's something loud playing. Not really related to ISY, harmony or anything else but Alexa itself.

I think it's mono but you can probably just take stereo as well and splice it together. As far as you needing remote, if you only using hub with Alexa, then technically you don't need a remote. With that in mind, I kind of gave up on alexa controlling AV equipment. A lot of the time it doesn't react or reacts incorrectly because of the sound of tv program. So for basic stuff like play/pause/volume it's just a lot easier to press remote button then scream the command at Alexa, sometimes several times.

You can plug output of hub into input of another IR system. You will need to use 2.5mm connector for the hub side. I've used it in that way but I don't know if it will work with every IR system.

Had there been any progress towards this? Using hints or otherwise?

Device is called "bedroom". I will try renaming it.

I have now tried everything. I've unlinked ISY (and hue), factory reset both of my minis and set them up again. I have also deleted GH app, rebooted the phone and re-installed GH app. Same behavior: I have ISY device called "bedroom", when I say "Turn on bedroom light", GH app searches web, mini says "Sorry, I don't know how to help with that".

I do not see any evidence of having multiple accounts. But, using mic in Google Home app doesn't work either. Lights work fine if I press on/off buttons. But voice commands just does web search, even though it seems to understand me correctly. I will try resetting them if there are no better suggestions.

I've configured both minis with the same GH app as linking lights. I doubt that they would get a different account from somewhere else. Is there an easy way to check? Or should I somehow reset those and try again?

Don't think so - it was configured though the same app, it shows up in the same room in the app. Does the fact that it's a mini and not larger model make a difference? I thought maybe mini just doesn't work for automation...

I feel like I'm missing something simple and obvious. I've gone though the steps of linking via app to ISY. I can control lights from the app. But if I try to use voice commands though Mini, it keeps saying "I don't know how to do it". What am I missing? I've try pressing "Send spokens" button again but that didn't fix anything.

Find the file and right click on it and choose "Open". It will give you same error but with an option to keep going.

I'm pretty sure you can run program directly from Alexa routine. You can set it up as device or light. Don't remember for sure. But in that program you can then set up a delay and do whatever you need to do. So, basically, trigger program from routine rather than triggering program by some condition. This is how my program looks: Backyard - [ID 0027][Parent 0001] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Scenes / Backyard' On Set 'Living Room Receiver / Zone3' Power on Else Set 'Scenes / Backyard' Off Set 'Living Room Receiver / Zone3' Power off As for you sunset/sunrise program, I'd just set up another routine, like "Alexa, pretend I'm at home" and run your random lights.

I'm not sure I follow. Currently, if you go to AV device and select "Network Resource", you just get a list. All I'm asking is to add another option "Node" or whatever, and you'll get a list of all nodes with it's commands: node1 - cmd1 node1 - cmd2 node2 - cmd1 etc. I don't see why compliance, hints or anything else is needed here. Whatever the long term plans are, this seems like a fairy simple and quick changes, even if temporary.

Perhaps in the list you can just list all combinations of nodes + available commands? Basically, I've written my AVRemote with the sole purpose of using to control AV devices. I've converted it into Node server since. But I'm still stuck using original network resources based implementation because node server cannot be used for AV devices.

@bmercierAre there any plans on allowing polyglot nodes in AV devices? I see them in regular devices drop down but AV device still only list program, variable or network resource.

I do not believe it's possible to control Alexa skills from ISY. I think you best bet would be to find some network resources that can control Sony TV specifically or go with some for of IR control.

I think that's exactly the point. It's hardly a viable long term business strategy to invest into some custom security (with questionable result) and charge extra $100 for it, for instance. For every person who'll appreciate it, there will be 1000s who'd buy competitors product and save $100. Also, most if not all those exploits aren't because of some weaknesses in existing protocol bot rather dumb stuff like default passwords, simple passwords, buffer overflow from unchecked buffer, etc. In other words, problems with implementation rather than the protocol.And that, in turn, because those companies pay as little as possible and outsource firmware to other firms in offshore markets. And that, of course, goes back to price pressure. You can try to do your best to protect yourself with good firewalls, good passwords, etc. But at the end of the day, you can't loose sleep over it. if you want to loose sleep over something, read Data and Goliath or Weapons of Math Destruction.

There are commercial products already available, such as: https://www.yubico.com And prior to that there were RSA authentication devices and other brands. Those are acceptable for user authentication but in this case there is still an attack vector in the device itself. More importantly, I don't think anybody's thinking about. In one case, attacker can get into google's network or some bank or financial institution and cause billions of damage. In another case they can turn off your light or cause your fridge to defrost. I don't know if there's financial incentive here. Unless you have a giant vault full of gold controlled by IoT device. There is nothing that cannot be addressed by some crypto algo with rolling keys or some such. And perhaps it will in the future. But for now it's a pipe dream. IoT devices use commercially available solutions, oauth2, etc. Nobody's going out of the way until something else is widely available.

They put stickers on outside on devices that are covered with wall plates and whatnot. If they put it on outside of door sensor, it's unsightly and can come off. With that in mind, I think there's a function in ISY specifically for those door sensors. I think it puts it ISY into linking mode and tells you to open sensor and press button. I'm pretty sure mine was auto detected.
