I had to relink but everything seems to be back. Thanks to whoever fixed it. and don’t scare us like that again

I’m not sure if this is just a system glitch (it seems coincidental as far as timing) or if it’s just me but when I ask Alexa to trigger an EISY lighting scene (or anything EISY) it tells me ”the skill linked with ____ is not enabled. Please enable the skill to control this device.’

I rebooted everything (including the Harmony hub) and it seems to work now. I know I didn’t see much traffic on this post but I’d like to keep a dialogue open where the old A/V gear control is heading and what solutions everyone has. I love being able to give the home voice commands for pretty much everything and wouldn’t want to lose that ability.

I should add the Alexa unit now says Apple TV is in a mode that doesn’t accept requests. Please check the app or the settings

I tried to sign in and found this. but when I go to my.iso.io it says I'm still active until March 2025 (in case this helps)

I'll give you guys some info first. I have a Harmony Hub connected to connecting blocks that have IR blasters attached to my AV gear (receivers, Apple tvs, projector/tv etc) When I say "Alexa, turn on Apple TV downstairs" she says "enjoy the movie" (programmed in the Alexa iOS app) and the EISY changes the lights and the Harmony hub blasts everything to turn on the AV gear. I have a similar program/routine for upstairs. Last night they worked fine. Today they are not. The lights change appropriately but the AV gear doesn't turn on at all. I have the old Harmony remotes and they trigger the scene/AV gear just fine. I'm assuming the problem is cloud/internet based? Maybe AWS is down? This again brings me to this post of mine Will the EISY one day replace all our 'smart home' stuff and be the hub that controls everything? I'd love that. Especially as EISY has this forum (one of the best forums out there IMO) and most other companies have a help email that takes forever, replies with FAQ answers, etc) Andrew

I've thought about this for a while. I have a Harmony Hub that links my EISY lighting scenes with A/V programs (lighting scene comes on when I tell Alexa to turn on Apple tv downstairs etc) Harmony are not a company anymore if I'm not mistaken. At the least they don't support or make the Hub anymore. Insteon went down as we all know but thankfully came back. I guess when my Harmony Hub dies I'll probably buy new gear (sound docks etc) as opposed to the gear I have now (available receivers, etc) I fear the day insteon doesn't make devices. I'm probably not alone in having a significant investment in their switches) I see the EISY has many plugins so I'm assuming that'll be a life saver(?). What are other set ups/ options? How do you guys have your systems set up and running?

Hi Greg. Thanks for the tips. I tried both but I still don't see why the Lamplinc is triggering in the middle of the night. I'm wondering if it's an old program it still remembers. Is there a way to make sure theres no obsolete programming actually stored in the Lamplinc? (if thats even possible)

Is there a way to see when a device was last turned on? I have a Lamplinc that for some reason turns on in the middle of the night. I cant see it in any timers etc. I was thinking if I could see when it clicked on I could have a better time isolating the issue.

The bulbs all work properly. When I tell Alexa to turn on the device she responds as it should but in the scene(s) it doesn't. It used to just fine so I'm unsure what new interference there is.

I have a few scenes with a LampLinc that doesn't turn the light on. The GUI and the iPhone App both show the device changing as it should but the light doesn't turn on. I tried removing the device from one of the scenes and putting it back in but that didn't seem to reset it. Any ideas would be great

I’ll try that when I have a minute thank you for the tip.

Me too. Easy is solid until I get an issue. Then its like I'm trying to sew a banana 🤣

Hi Paul. Thanks for the reply. I was wondering about that. I’m not sure why the GUI doesn’t find the ISY until I refresh it. Any thoughts?

When I click on the icon to start the GXUI it now says Not Found and when I refresh it finds it. It used to have two options (LAN and something else) but only the LAN shows up now. Obviously I have functionality but I'm not sure if this is the start of something bigger.
