So any ideas why google home control of ISY isn't working anymore? I'm assuming it is just me because I don't see anyone else with the same problem. I get "Sorry Power Controls are currently not supported" messages.

Hi Michel, yes the ISY is online on the portal and Amazo Echo is working fine which I'm assuming wouldn't work if the ISY was offline?

My google home does not seem to be working. I've tried rebooting everything and still the same. I also deleted and re-added the portal/ISY in the Google home app. The responses seem to vary but a couple I captured are: "Sorry I don't understand" "Sorry Power Controls are currently not supported" Just to help with any diagnosis, the Amazon Echo is working as normal. Anybody else having problems?

Great news and keep up the great work

Michel, anything we can do to lobby Amazon?

Thanks Michel, that is good news and hopefully it will be certified soon. I know there are some workarounds, but I've been holding out for more direct communication.

I was wondering the same thing, if it can talk to the insteon hub then hopefully it can be made to talk directly to the ISY?

I saw a message today from Amazon saying that Wink is now supported, does that help us in any way?

I did the same recently and basically backup the 99 and restore to 994. If you have any optional modules, once you have the unit, you send the UUID for your 99 as well as 994 to support to get them migrated across.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions, I really appreciate the input.

I've had two PROLIPHIX thermostats for several years. They work well, but not integrated with everything else, which bugs me. Then next driver for wanting to replace them is they have their own monitoring solution which is becoming a paid service at the end of June. If I'm going to replace them with Insteon or Z-wave what would you recommend? A bit about my setup. ISY994i Pro IR Lots of Insteon devices covering the majority of the house ELK Alarm with ELK module for ISY Network Module for ISY MobiLinc user with Camera and ELK add-ins Recently ordered Z-wave module and Z-wave locks (Schlage BE469NXCAM605) For those that are not familiar with the Proliphix thermostats they are wired PoE devices, so I have Ethernet and the thermostat control wires plumbed in to both thermostat locations. Thanks, Brian

Now there's an idea

Thinking about using an alarm with bed shaker output connected to IOLinc http://www.smarthome.com/5234/WakeMEup-Alarm-Clock-and-Bed-Shaker/p.aspx

Some good ideas fitzpatri8. When I was single I did some similar things and HAL brings back memories because I also named my home automation system HAL back then, mainly because I used the voice from 2001 A Space Odyssey. http://www.bdlhome.com/n-hal.html The setting by phone or button presses is an interesting idea because I could use the Nabaztag ("Internet Rabbit") (of which I have a couple) to give audio feedback. Maybe I could even indicate the time with the ears! http://forum.universal-devices.com/viewtopic.php?t=2705 Anyone else using an existing alarm clock modified or otherwise? I think I could probably just take one apart and connect to an IOLinc.
