Add "Network Module" in the title somewhere. There is getting to be quite a few methods now.

I found I had to use the Else section of my All Off program so that I could use this: "Alexa. Turn OFF all lights"

17 year old combat pilots are really hard to find.

In your OP you asked"I would like to somehow execute that server via a network service or I don't know a web server or a ssh in the ISY" Read the thread again. 95% of this thread has been about connecting a RPi python program to an ISY, just as you requested. People were trying to help you, with some sidetracks, of course.

I like them a little older than that Stu! ......Ouch!

Thanks. For a very small and simple REST command centre it shouldn't be too bad, now that I am getting a handle on it somewhat. Maybe a hundred lines of python code should hook me into other modules to drive devices. Of course the REST interface module will have to expand every time I hook another into it to split the URLs into various jobs. Thanks for pointing me there in the first place. It gives me more hope for python hooks into the world. This is where I am lacking. Python is new and quite confusing as it is such a mess as is all the linux versions and the RPi in general. I never realised how bad lack standards can make our S.Jobs so tough.

I've ben attempting use some of this python easy code and "a few lines of code" will probably turn out to be a few hundred before anything can be done, with any functionality. Python offers some BaseHTTPRequestHandler package along with a few others that support REST style commands. The package allows you to send back select information from a hit on your IP address and port. It doesn't matter what the URL contains the package is labelled as a "GET" and no decoding or simplicity is offered othe than handing the whole URL to you in a string variable. So now a complete parser is required to be written, as well as the downstream device handlers etc. The very basics may be there, but a long long way from just a few lines of code. It does get the URL call into python though.

That can't be true. All? 10 years old want to be older. It's only the "older" ones that want to be younger. I know it is tough, but you just have to take it on the chin sometimes. :) Alexa! Turn off teasing mode!

Michel has no personal REST interface. ahhhh.. to be in your 20s again!

For python3 where does this HTTPServer come from? I only ever get no such module. I have tried every import xxx I can think of and find in the referenced links. Even the docs have syntax errors in them so I suspect some are untested. UPDATE: I got it from another site from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer Thanks!

Having a python interpreter on the ISY would be a huge breakthrough. All the hardware is there in ISY to support anything you want to do, and could not only eliminate all the second computer proxies/brides/nodes, but also be the lead-in for a multicore ISY995i. Unfortunately, I have never heard these capabilities.

Welcome! We hope you find lots of help here also.

I got so frustrated with the poor reporting, I wrote a recorder that keeps a list of every lowBatt signal from my 10 MSes. Most of the time nothing is ever sent. Out of, probably 10, batteries I have replaced so far, I think I have had about 2-3 reports of dead batteries. The flashing LED on the MS is much more reliable. When it multiple flashes happen, after seeing motion, it is time to replace the battery, within the next month.

Don't use "status" from the dimmer electronics to trigger programs. Use "control" from the mechanical button. With "control" you are triggering on one of the six unique signals an Insteon button puts out. ON, Fast On, Brighten, Off, Fast Off, Dim. My gathering rom light programs have 8 different levels and scenes from one SwitchLinc dimmer.

If it was closing the usual cause is a spider making a nest in your beams.

Sounds like a signal bounce or repeat. Possibly your IO/Linc lost it's setup and is closing the contact twice.

$172? Wow! I bought mine for around $60-$80 CAD. That is way too high for this poor technology. Mine work perfectly for reporting, once the method of reporting is understood. The newer firmware unit is not controllable from ISY. They probably both work exactly as stated on the box, with an Insteon Hub.

If . . $OkToGo is $TRUE Then . . $OkToGo = $FALSE <----Then stops and Else runs. The rest will never see the light of day! . . Set Scene 'Back yard / Back Yard Lights - All' Off . . Wait 1 second . . Set Scene 'Games Room / Some slight logic problems there!

I just added an automatic reset and try again to my leak detectors low battery programs. I missed a heartbeat from one Leak detector and after checking the battery to be very fresh yet, changed my programs to still notify me, but start again, with a 23 hour Wait period and then start timing again. If I had a battery failure I would then get a nuisance notification every two days. Not too bad for a nuisance repeat cycle. If you are away there is not much you can do with a low battery anyway.

AC power is disconnected (white is removed from terminal) Your 7th zone looks like it may be disconnected also. Or wire is just stripped too long. Is the terminal screw and the wire tight?

I found the first order works sometimes but the second syntax always works unless I get my devices wrong.

Check the app and see what Alexa actually understood.

Make sure after any changes to use "Discover" again or it won't matter.

It only matters what voice recognition names you give it in the portal

hmmmmm... I think "thermostat" is a reserved word that would confuse alexa. IIRC it is what you call it in the my.isy.io.com setup that counts.
