Thanks Michel, I'm slowing figuring out Alexa's trigger words that she wants to hear. Keep up the great work!

There's a winner! I used capitalization on all of them. After changing them few i had setup I was able to get "kitchen" to work, syntax needed to be very specific. I too will play around a bit and see if i can't dial in anything else. Please let me know if you stumble across any other good tips. Thanks

Is there any way to verify that my Isy/Portal & Echo are communicating properly? I know the Isy and Portal are good. I know the Echo has the skill enabled. But is there a way to verify on the Echo that everything is set up properly, like the device list, how do i know the Echo has access to my devices i've setup on the Portal?

After adding in my main Kitchen light under the Echo section on the portal and assigning the spoken name to "Kitchen". Every time i address Izzy with "Alexa, tell Izzy to turn on kitchen." I get the following response from Alexa. "Sorry, i couldn't find the device or group name Kitchen in Justin's Profile." I get the same response for all Izzy requests. Any ideas?

I'm obviously doing something wrong. I know the skill is loaded because i can get the Echo to respond to the "Alexa, Tell Izzy to", she just always responds with "there is no device in your library..." Under the Amazon Echo Tool on the UDI Portal, when i go to "add" i see all of my devices on my Isy, I've added four devices from my list and provided the Spoken names for them. I assume these once saved are available on the Echo for the UDI Izzy skill, or no? Using all the proper syntax, i believe, i can't get anything to register on the Echo, or any indication that the spoken words i entered on the portal are available on the Echo. What's me missing step/s?

This won't be a helpful reply, but i am in the exact same scenario. I did everything you outlined above. I see all of my devices under the Amazon Echo section on the portal and have filled in the spoken name for a few for testing, although i am still not successful in getting it to work. From the various posts i found on the subject there are two different ways of going about the ISY/Echo integration, the skill based UDI route and the method requiring the RPi or similar. I thought the skill based portion of Alexa didn't require anything but the proper configuration on the portal, Echo, Isy. There also doesn't seem to be a tutorial walking anyone thru what to do for it. There really can't be that many steps to it, just the matter of getting them all right.
