How long should it take the ISY to reboot? I thought in the past it only took a couple of minutes. I had an issue this past weekend where the AVRemote nodeserver was taking over 10 seconds to process commands to my Denon so I rebooted the ISY. 10-15 minutes later I still could not login. I pulled the power on the ISY and it still took forever to boot up and be able to login and once I could login I found that all the programs that were supposed to be disabled were enabled causing all sorts of issues. Lights going on and off, programs going on and off, etc... I could barely use the AC with all those programs running. I finally had to unplug the ISY and go to bed. I tried yesterday to upload the latest backup but it would not take (I assume because it was bogged down with all the programs running). I factory reset the ISY and loaded the latest backup and it is still taking 20 minutes to reboot the ISY but at least all the disabled programs were correctly disabled this time. I am on 5.0.13D. Possible SD card going bad? Thanks. Also, I had to set up my gmail again, shouldn't that be part of the backup?

And for no apparent reason Google Home is now much faster than it was with home control connected.

Mine is very fast without without home control connected and over 10 seconds as soon as I link it. I get a lot of something went wrong try again later responses as well. It's not just slow with home control responses it is slow with all responses.

If I add the UD home control to Google Home the responses take over 10 seconds. Not just home control responses either. Any thing I ask it takes much longer. If I unlink then the responses are just as fast as the Echo. Anyone else seeing this? I have not assigned rooms to any of the devices yet if that matters. I have 140 devices aren't in rooms yet is what it tells me. Thanks!

I see what you mean. Anyway, a password in the command is better than no password so if the original poster wants to implement it, it is up to him/her. I will have to think more about the consequences before I decide to remove the control or not.

Well, gun manufactures do provide a safety. Just saying, maybe the ISY should not have the ability to disarm the ELK since the ISY is not a certified alarm system.

I can turn on my Denon using the Echo and the ISY. You should be able to do that with the Onkyo too as long as it has IP control using a network resource. You should also be able to select a source. Of course that would be two voice commands to the DOT. One to turn on the receiver and one to play the song.

You can try, but without the password I am not sure how you'd do it. So, do we need to petition ELK and UDI to remove the ability to do this? I know that just because you can maybe you should not but why do they even allow it then?

I do use a disarm command from the Echo. You have to say Alexa, turn on disarm the house password ........... I am sure this isn't the most secure way of doing it since you do have to have your password stored on the Amazon Alexa smarthome settings page but I would think if your password for that site was strong you'd be ok. I also have a program that can set off the Elk by saying Alexa, turn on panic. It arms the system in stay instant and then simulates a door being opened. I guess I could add that program to an else and when someone gets the password wrong it would trigger.

Yes, I have tried discovery multiple times after a forget all but it does not help. I deleted some programs I did not use to stay below 302 with all devices and scenes added that I do use. I will stay under 302 for now unless someone finds a work around or Amazon fixes the issue.

Disabled all skills except ISY and still having issues. Seems like a hard limit at 302 items (programs, scenes and devices added together). It will discover beyond 302 if I do not forget all but once I forget all I can never get above 302 until I delete enough to get below 302 and then add again with forgetting all. How items do other people have?

Just Ecobee is shown on the smart home page with the ISY. I thought I had a few more but they are not showing. How do you see all of the enabled ones? Yes it does see some devices but not others.

ISY optimized for smart home V2

Here is one that is not discovered. And thanks!

I cannot figure out how to do that. Neither IE or Chrome let me paste images into a reply.

I cannot get Alexa to discover certain devices anymore. Programs are discovered. I even deleted them and re-created some in the portal but Alexa refuses to discover them. Any ideas? I disabled the skill and re-enabled it and rediscovered all but still nothing. Some devices that are discovered say undefined on the smart home page and others say their name.

I have no issue with Michel putting this on the wiki.

Here are the ISY programs: Heartbeat Check Var Control Server - [iD 028D][Parent 028C] If $HEARTBEAT_SERVER is 9 Then $HEARTBEAT_SERVER = 0 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Heartbeat Var Control Server Not Running - [iD 028E][Parent 028C] If Time is Last Run Time for 'Heartbeat Check Var Control Server' + 6 minutes And From 4:15:00AM To 3:55:00AM (next day) Then $HEARTBEAT_SERVER += 1 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Server Missed Two Heartbeats - [iD 028F][Parent 028C] If $HEARTBEAT_SERVER is 2 Then Send Notification to 'Brent' content 'Heartbeat Missed Server' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') VBS Script: Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Set http = CreateObject("MSXML2.serverXMLHTTP") 'Set http = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP") Set http = CreateObject("Microsoft.XmlHttp") URL ="http://ISYIP:ISYPort/rest/vars/set/2/72/9" ' If auth is required, replace the userName and password values ' with the ones you use on your ISY userName = "ISY Username" password = "ISY Password" http.open "GET", url, false, userName, password http.send Set userName = Nothing Set password = Nothing Set myFSO = Nothing set WshShell = nothing set http = nothing set objXmlDoc = Nothing Eventghost just runs that script every 5 mins.

I have Windows set a variable on the ISY every five minutes using a vbs script and using Task Scheduler. Then I check that variable on the ISY and if it does not change every ten minutes I send out an email and text from the ISY. If it misses 3 heartbeats the program on the ISY tells Eventghost to try and reboot it. I use Blue Iris for the cameras on the Windows 10 PC and I also have the PC reboot itself everyday at 4 am. After the latest Windows 10 updates the tasks in Task Scheduler would randomly stop working so I moved the vbs script to Eventghost.

I did notice last night that the OK came much faster like it used to. I have not tried any of the words that stopped working yet.

So, with this info I put skip commercials in as skipcommercials and it works! Then things got weird. I started using this technique on other devices that stopped working with the latest update. I changed fast forward, elk voice, disarm house password .........., fox news, fox sports, etc.... and skipcommercials stopped working! I put them all back with the exception of skipcommercials and fastforward and it works again. None of the ones I changed contained skip or commercials either. If I get a chance I will go back one by one and figured out the culprit. Edit: Well, now I do not think it was changing the other devices. I think when you add the two words together you have to say them quickly for it work.

Thanks! Works here too. I can use this as a workaround for now.

Here is my list of commands that do not work anymore. Michel, can you add this to the document? It is read only. skip commercials menu list guide page down page up christmas (christmas light and christmas tree do work) elk voice fast forward halloween manual override override sprinklers rewind game fox h bee o nfl usa (tries to play a song now) cnn (plays cnn from tunein now) fox news (plays fox new from tunein now)

Same here. Skip does not work anymore and quite a few others. Had to change to IFTTT for that command but the delay is awful now. I tried "turn on jump commercials" and "turn on bypass commercials" too and they don't work either. Frustrating. I assume the Hue emulator would also have this issue as well. I might try firing it back up just to check. I also had issues with discovering last night, Alexa would say found one device or even no devices but the webpage showed them all.

Alexa, turn on good night has been working for me since the beginning. Maybe use two words?
