Sorry I have n used ISYlib-python, I have only used PyISY in my ISYHelper program. But I have to say I am not completely happy with the way PyISY organizes the data structures, but it works great for me, after I pushed a few bug fixes and enhancements. It's document is pretty good to get you started, and I think I still have a couple small scripts I wrote as examples when I was learning it that I can dig up for you.

I'll only address the ISYHelper questions. It originally existed to fill a gap to control ISY with Alexa before the portal, I still use it for that, but it sounds like the speed of the portal is acceptable by everyone now so I will probably try it again. But ISYHelper also supplies 2 way status between the ISY and harmony hub, which can not be done with ISY portal and ifttt, and direct control of any device from the ISY to the harmony, and direct control of harmony from Alexa without ifttt, It is also much faster than using ifttt where others have reported very long delays. It is a little learning curve, but a couple of others with no experience have helped to get the instructions cleared up so it should be smooth now. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

There are already 2 python libraries available that handle this.https://github.com/evilpete/ISYlib-python https://github.com/automicus/PyISY Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk

Sorry, "ISY Helper" is on old dead android app. "ISYHelper" is a python program to run on an RPi http://forum.universal-devices.com/forum/118-isyhelper/

With ISYHelper I have no issues with Alexa "turn on family room Tivo" or "turn on family room TV". Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I do it with an old Android tablet that reads aloud pushover messages. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Write ISY programs to adjust the ramp rate, and you can run those programs via REST or use variables to trigger the programs and change the variables via REST. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

This was being discussed yesterday https://tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.universal-devices.com%2Findex.php?/topic/16389-Tasker--AutoVoice-Chaining-Voice-Commands-Project&do=findComment&comment=168379 We should probably start a new topic for everyones current experience. I gave up using Tasker geofence because it was not 100% reliable and creating a robust method that only notified on entry and exit was to time consuming for what I wanted, so I just use wifi connected state.

Yes that is it. All nodes show up and function just fine in the current version 4 firmware. There is a good post on here about how to properly setup and configure it. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Yes, I also use a CT100 Z-Wave that runs on 4 AA batteries and has been running for over a year. I got one super cheap on a clearance rack. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I think David's suggestion for adding me flag on the scene to say it's a group is a great option. This flag could be set in the admin console or just in the portal. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk

The MultiSensor 6 works great, especially if you can plug it in. When on battery it doesn't report temperature when it changes, only at defined intervals. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I know it goes against the insteon way, but what I did in my hue emulator in ISYHelper was if you had set spoken on a scene, and asked to set that scene to 50% then it would set all dimmable responders in that scene to 50%. It makes sense for a simple scene like a 3way, and for a scene that contains our 2 bedroom lamps. Trying to tell my wife that you can't set a brightness level of the kitchen cans because it's a scene, and insteon doesn't work that way results I rolling eyes... So I prefer it to just work as expected. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I thought when Michel said "Comfort API" that meant TCC? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Damn, how did I miss this post! So now I am considering sending back my T7900 that I just received and getting the Honeywell. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Haha, yes, one of the many intuitive features of mobilinc

I thought you could create separate profiles in mobilinc for this. At least in the Android version if you long press the "Selected Profile" you can add a new one. I need this too since I am getting my second ISY for our vacation home. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I found it listed here http://www.homecontrols.com/Aeon-Labs-Aeotec-Z-Wave-Garage-Door-Controller-AEZW062 So I emailed this place which I have pre-ordered Aeotec products from before and was very happy with their customer service, and this was their response... Thank you for your inquiry. Can you please let us know where you found the device for sale already? We expect to get the product in stock withing the next month. I spoke to Aeotec during the CES show a couple of weeks ago and they advised that they were waiting for basic gateway integration before releasing the product to the public. Once we confirm that there is already a distributor selling the product, we will be able to get more details on the date of arrival for this product. I look forward to hearing back from you.

OK, if it is just a webscrape I will probably go with the 7900, that was the one I was considering. I really want one with its own Internet access, and ability to control with the ISY, since the house is a 4 hour drive I wanted both in case one fails. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk

Damn, now I will have to reconsider this one! I'm looking for a replacement in our vacation home and had ruled this out because of no ISY access. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Does the tilt sensor show up and work as expected in the ISY? Do they also act as Z-Wave secure repeaters? I've been holding out for the Aeon since their sirens are such good repeaters, but I'm just about done waiting to replace my IoLincs. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk

Same here on Nexus 6P. When the portal was first released it worked fine, but I haven't tried from Android in a while. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

This is being reported all over... http://betanews.com/2016/01/10/using-amazon-echo-to-control-your-home-theres-a-minor-change-you-need-to-know-about/ http://www.echotalk.org/index.php?topic=308.0 Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Putting them in a scene makes the response much faster, but then you have to change the on level of the lights in thee scene for those times you don't want them on full brightness. That is what I do, but it is more involved. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk

The Harmony does not have a rest server, but there are a few out there you can run that interface to the harmony. Search this forum and you’ll see it mentioned in a few threads. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
