Sorry, different ISYHelper, I named mine before I saw there was an old unsupported Android app with that name Yes in the Admin UI, right click on a device and select notes, inside that popup is an option to set the spoken property, and with ISYHelper you can set it to 1 which means the same as the device name. Fauxmo can control anything, but only currently understands on and off, but I use that to control my harmony hub with Maker thru ifttt. http://forum.universal-devices.com/index.php?/topic/16787-ISYHelper:-Interface-older-foscam's,-Maker-IFTTT,-Amazon-Echo,-and-more

I'm glad someone else had an issue with the emulator code being copied to the bridge instead of just forked. I would be annoyed if that was my code, which is one reason I have not chosen that route. But hopefully the original author was involved in that decision. ISYHelper automatically configures the fauxmo bridge from the ISY devices spoken property, and controls scenes from the spoken property of the scene controller. I am close to getting multiple fauxmo's running on the same RPi so it can do more than 16 devices. I am also working with the author of a forked version of the hup-upnp and should get that working soon. I have it working with my harmony hub, so it shouldn't be much more to get the echo to recognize it. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

1) the wemo was simplier to setup, and already inside ISYHelper is written in python which is easier for me to modify, and seems much faster than calling the Java Hue emulator, at least for me, but is limited to 16 devices, which seems to be an Echo limit. I'm trying to get the python Hue emulator working with the Echo, since I have it working with my harmony hub already. 2) yes, the emulator fakes out the Echo into thinking it's talking to a Hue hub, but it's talking to the ISY. 3) There is a post somewhere, I think in this thread from Michel, and I'm pretty sure he said it will use the new portal, but not positive.

Why not just start samba on your RPi? Pretty simple, then you can just add network location on your windows machine. http://raspberrywebserver.com/serveradmin/share-your-raspberry-pis-files-and-folders-across-a-network.html

Yes, it would have been nice to have a sub-forum for the Echo instead of this huge thread. I assume you are asking how to have the Echo control your scenes thru the ISY. If so, the first post details the methods, although there are new versions of the Hue Emulator and WeMo Emulator now, and there is a separate program to generate a config file for the Hue Emulator. A few people are working on different ways to set this up, my work has been to integrate the WeMo emulator into my python program running my my RPi https://github.com/jimboca/ISYHelper which allows you to use the Spoken note configured directly in the ISY, or run IFTTT Maker actions. The only issue is you are limited to 16 devices registered to each RPi.

Same here. I would like it all running on a single RPi since they use very little power. I am playing with the upnp for the fauxmo to try and get the echo to see more that 15 devices, my initial attempt didn't work so I am studying up on upnp... I prefer fauxmo since it's lighter weight than the hue java program, can be called within my ISYHelper and I'm better at python.

The scene on level of zero needs to be set for the MS inside the scene. If the MS is red in the scene, click on it and adjust the level. Each controller of a scene can have different levels.

Yes, there have been a few of us working on this. Some are using the Hue or WeMo emulators so the Echo thinks it's talking to them, but is really talking to the ISY. Also, UDI is working on an officially supported way that will use their portal. I'd post some links, but the forum searching seems to be broken right now for me.

Is Living_FanSpeed a integer or state variable? It must be a state to trigger the program. After that, we can work on what exactly you want to happen if you give us more details on your goals.

I just updated my ISYHelper program to use the FauxMo emulator: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/16635-python-modular-program-to-communicate-with-any-device-like-older-foscams/?p=147572 I would appreciate anyone who wants to test or help contribute. - Jim

UDI is working on an interface that uses their new portal. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Yes, the latest Aeon MultiSensor 6 would work great, but AFAIK you can not make it report temperature very often when it is on battery, only when plugged in. I currently use a CT100 thermostat, only because I got one really cheap, and it doesn't get direct sunlight. Not ideal, but it works for exactly what you mentioned. Edit: see this thread, best info in this post http://forum.universal-devices.com/index.php?/topic/16323-Setup-and-usage-of-Aeotec-MultiSensor-6&do=findComment&comment=145418 Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Yes, this is sounding good, I need to order an echo now! I've got an https server in python running on my RPi for IFTTT & Maker, that talks to my ISY, so it could work with this as well.

It also depends on the manufacturer, some, like Genie have a dry contact adapter, which is what I use on mine with an IoLinc. No idea if chamberlain has one.

Some good info here from a few days ago http://forum.universal-devices.com/index.php?/topic/16490-Cheap-/-Simple-Humidity-or-Temperature-to-ISY-? Cheap / Simple Humidity or Temperature to ISY ? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I haven't changed my programming since the original post. I would try triggering the scene manually the same way the programs do. I can try to review the programs and see if I have any other suggestions. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Hi Mike, sorry I am not very good at debugging the logs, but I would first try triggering the IoLinc manually to see if that works, the trigger it thru the ISY.

The program stops running when the sensor turns back to on. Move the lines in the then part to a separate program and run that program instead. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Oh nice! I use the E from SDG&E! Guess I need to start looking at what this all means Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

As Lee mentioned, you have the old 99i, but also you are using the UI that is newer. You need to install the UI that matches your firmware version. That could be why you have issues with adjusting the slider. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Lee, if the ISY waited a little longer before querying the next node wouldn't that help reduce the chance of this issue? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

There is a good write up on push notifications: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:Networking:Mobile_Notification and a little on using Tasker: http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:Networking:Mobile_Notification:Tasker

I use pushover notifications sent to an android tablet that is almost always plugged in, which speaks the notification in Tasker. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Yes, as Lee mentioned, he was pretty sure you needed to remove it from the folder.

Thanks for the info Paul. I have a few of the insteon brand plates and really liked how solid they mounted, but the are so expensive. Those lutrons look good and much cheaper. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
