Everything seems to be working again. I'm unclear why it didn't and now why it does.
I'm assuming bit by bit the gear of old will become obsolete and we'll buy new stuff. I'm really hoping the EISY will control all the lighting and A/V gear etc and other things (ceiling fans, other WIFI enabled stuff around the house)
I'm not a big fan of having to have Alexa handle some thing and not the EISY
