Maybe using an ISY scene linked as a light in GH???

Garage door has been setup to open/close on a contact for years and I have a position sensor on the door. Both are wired to my Elk control module which is connected to eisy via polyglot integration. Using a program on the eisy, I have both the sides of the IF/THEN/ELSE closing the contact for a couple of seconds. Pretty basic but it works. In GH, I have a device setup so I can say "Hey, Google... [open/close] the garage door" and this works. Obviously, both commands do the same thing, toggling the door. The problem is that GH seems to remember the state as open or closed but it's state can become out of sync with reality Is there a better way to do this??? Maybe Google Home can track the state of the door??? Is there a device category that is just a momentary push button???

I'll look at the log tonight... for the record, the lights are using house code "B", at the moment. Thanks for the ideas.

This may be a silly ask but I have used UD products for years... and I have a big mix of devices in my house. In the home theater, there are some ancient X10 dimmers that control the lighting. Recently, they seem to be randomly turning on and I'm struggling to identify the issue. I'm looking for a suggestion about how I might get my eisy to trap all X10 activity for a 24hr period and then let me review/filter in an editor. I looked at the event viewer and that is the right idea but I'm not sure how to review offline as "real time" is cumbersome. Thoughts?

Considering this lighting for my home... it's controllable via app/Google/Alexa... Just curious how I might integrate with EISY. Has anybody heard of or tried these lights? I'm not going to post a link but if you Google, you'll find them right away.

same network... has been for years and the only changed thing is the IoX 5.7.0 update last night. cleared cache and download done after eisy IoX update. Still confused. Any more ideas?

On eisy: I've managed to upgrade to IoX v5.7.0 and I had previously upgraded to Polygot v3.2.4. Didn't see some of the issues from above (e.g. all programs being disabled). I connect to the device via 2 machines inside my home network. On both, I've cleared the Java "temporary files" completely, which should include cache and applications. https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp using the above link, I grabbed a new (latest???) copy of the IoX Launcher app on both my machines. Interestingly, my desktop finds the eisy device and I can see that it's running IoX v5.7.0 but... the laptap IoX Launcher comes up empty with no eisy devices listed. The only difference I can see is one is on WiFi (laptop) and the other is on a hard LAN connection. Multiple restarts of everything. The eisy is on DHCP and can be pinged from both machines. I"m confused and would love some insight from someone more knowledgeable.

@Michel Kohanim Any update? thanx!

Alpha support still pending?

Tried again... Alexa sees the 'device' as "ISY Program address XXXX" with a generic device state of "power is off" or "power is on" Please confirm that that Program device in ISY with an Open/Close syntax will allow me to say "Alexa, open <spoken>"

I've got a network resource defined to open and close a blind in my hosue... and I've created a program that has an empty 'if', open NR in the "then", and close NR in the "else" In the portal, I've selected the program, defined it as 'with open/close syntax', and defined the spoken. The portal shows my new entry as ISY Cat = Program and Alexa Cat = Device/open-close. Lastly, I've asked Alexa to discover new devices which it finds but seems to understand the states to be ON and OFF which I can control manually via the Alexa app on my phone. I want to be able to say, "Alexa, close <spoken>" or "Alexa, open <spoken>" I'm close but seem to have hit a road block... any 'best practice' recommendations to complete this setup?

I'm moving from multi Alexa accounts to separate groups will all Echo devices under a single master Alexa account. Original setup happened before groups existed. Skill v3 and ISY FW 4.7.3. I'm able to add light devices to groups and the scenes are being discovered in Alexa app but they are not showing as 'valid devices' when I edit a group so I'm unable to add. surely I'm missing something pretty basic? Any hint would be welcome.
