Dimming lights
Please can you state what 'ISY Cat' shows in the ISY Portal for the device? I've tested the correct setup (ISY Dimmable Device exposed to Google Home as a 'Light') - and it still does not work. So, I believe that there is an issue in the interaction between Google Home and ISY Portal. However, I do want to ensure you are trying to dim a device and not a scene...

Dimming lights
As I mentioned - I usually just assign spokens to Scenes - so I've never expected those to be dimmable... I do know that dimming used to work with discrete devices though. Just to test, I created a test device - linked to a device (not a scene) and pushed to Google Home as a light. I could turn it on or off - but could not get any dim commands to work. Something is definitely borked in the API interaction... I either get 'Sorry, I'm not sure how to help with that' or 'It looks like that device hasn't been setup yet'... Michael.

Dimming lights
What does the ISY Portal list the ‘ISY Cat’ as? In my case, all are ‘Scene’ - and my ‘GH Cat’ is ‘Device\Light’. I cannot dim anything, but that’s expected since ISY Scenes are not dimmable via direct dim commands.

I believe switch can only be turned on or off. It needs to be light. What is the ISY Cat?

Do you have the spoken assigned to a device, or a scene? In the portal - is the device exposed to Google as a light, or a scene?

Can ISY send a play request to Alexa?
ISY can send most network requests (only exception is some authentication methods, like digest and oAuth). The main question is - do you have an example network call that achieves what you desire that we can use to build the ISY network resource? Once there is an example we will be able to help ‘translate’ to a format for ISY (assuming it does not need one of the authentication methods not supported).

ISY Portal Maintenance - 12-24-2017
Thanks Benoit. I do have several user accounts - but in my case I’m using only the same Google and Portal account each time (just yesterday, after the issue, I added a Google Home for my Daughter using her own Google and Portal account so as to not confuse them). I’ll keep an eye out to see if I comes up again. Michael.

I disconnected Home from Portal and re-linked. Then I was able to push again. It kind of defeats the purpose if we have to disconnect and rejoin each time the Portal is upgraded though. Is this going to be a common thing? I's a real pain to go thru and re-assign rooms in the Home app each time (though this would be *much* better if you are able to send room info as well.... )

It seems I cannot 'Send spokens' anymore to my Home devices. I get 'Error contacting the Google HomeGraph API.'. I wonder if others are seeing this - or if it's just me...

What is ZWave Multi Channel, Does ISY Support?
5.x is alpha - not complete yet. That being said - do you remove and re-add the device since you upgraded? 5.0.11 should support multi-channel in a generic way at least...

Recommendations for Motion Sensors
I’ve just purchased more of the Aeotec gen5 units. I like logging the temp and humidity as a bonus to motion detection. They are slowly replacing my CAO tags in strategic locations...

Probably just the icon in the app...

ZWave Parameters
You’ll need the network module to do that. Also, make sure you use the real IP of the ISY (rather than 127.0.0.1). There is a issue in ISY that will cause a hard lock if you use the network module to connect to 127.0.0.1.

Likely the icon thats displayed in the Alexa app.... Also, a ‘light’ will accept dim commands, as well as the ability to be queried for status. Other device types do not support this. If you declare an ISY scene as a ‘light’ the dim and status commands will be ignored. (I think switch and outlet can be queried as well, it’s just scene that cannot....)

Thanks! Appreciate it... looking forward to the functionality...

Merry Christmas! (Also, what is the purpose to exposing a Google Home scene/device/program as an Alexa scene - or is the Alexa mention a typo...?)

Change portal username?
The Portals username is your email address. It’s not possible to have email addresses without @. Better to have the bug fixed... or try url encoding the @ with %40

Similar program?
Try... If Control '.Fam Rm Rem - E (Movie Time)' is switched on And Control '.Fam Rm Rem - E (Movie Time)' is not switched off If won’t trigger on the off otherwise... Edit: I see stusviews answered this already. I guess I should read the whole thread.

Google assistant on more then 1 phone
ApoLogies, I was mistaken. Each Portal account has one set of spoken, each user on the account shares spokens. However, your Son should be able to link to the Portal now using their own Portal account. Make sure the default ISY is set correctly though.
-

Create a sub account on the Portal for your Son. Have your Son separately add the ISY Home Automation solution to his Google account, and use his sub account to link the Portal. He can then manage his own spoken commands to operate your ISY solution.

Can the 8 button remote, reflect the status of a light?
Can remotelincs be set in on-only mode? (I still don’t have one of these....) If so, they could drive a program that turns the scene on if the associated device status is off, and off if the associated device status is not off...

How does Google Home differ from Amazon?
I have not tried this yet - but you said you assigned your lights to rooms. Did you assign the mini to the room as well? I’m going to be figuring this one myself real soon. Edit: I just tried ‘Turn on the lights in this room’ - and it seemed to turn all lights on only where they are in the same room that the home itself is assigned to. It tells me it’s turning on 6 lights... which is odd because I only have 3 in the group, and only 3 lights come on...

Google Home installation not working
You might want to ask in one of the Mobilinc specific forums, as many Mobilinc users may not follow the Google Home forum.
