Have you removed the old device form the Alexa list of devices in the UDI portal and added the new device to UDI portal? Once you do this then ask Alexa to discover devices.

I use it to ping certain cellphones when they connect to the network. I then have a routine that announces that person has arrived. To keep the routine from running every time the phone reconnects to the network, I have a program to disable the routine for a period of time after the first ping.

@simplextech, my experience with Elk wireless sensors is they are very reliable but the response time was much slower than Insteon response time in similar situations.

I have found that receiving notifications via email or text when something is happening when it shouldn't be or something is not happening when it should be, is much more reliable than me checking the status of devices every time I think i should. if a notification is received and I'm traveling, I can then check the status and see what's happening or not happening. Polyglot gave me the ability to interface many other protocols not natively supported by ISY.

Mobilinc and Agave both accommodate multiple ISYs by setting up a separate profile for each ISY.

Just make sure you have a good backup in case for some reason you need to go back to your old firmware version.

Here you go:

What is the device you are attempting to add? What is the version of your ISY firmware and UI? What model ISY do you have? How many devices do have in your ISY? Providing this information will help others identify your problem. Here's a list of error codes. Error Codes

Here are some programs I use with Motion Sensor.

If you want to turn on a light using the light's given name, it needs to be the spoken you gave it in the ISY Alexa portal. When you assign a light to a group as I outlined, Alexa identifies it only as a light. So you have to say "turn on the light" or it won't recognize what you want to do. You could also ask Alexa to turn the same light by using the spoken you gave it in the ISY Alexa porTAL. For example. In a bedroom, I have a ceiling light and a bedside lamp. I have the ceiling light and the Alexa device in that bedroom in a group. If I say "Alexa, turn on the light", the light turns on. This is the only Alexa device that will turn on that ceiling light with that command. I do this for several rooms. That way all you have to remember is "Alexa, turn on the light" when you enter a room. If I want to turn on the bedside lamp I have to say, "Alexa, turn on the bedside lamp". Of course I can say "Alexa, turn on the bedside lamp from any Alexa device we have and the bedside lamp will turn on.

@DaveStLou, Here's how I set up my groups. 1.Open Alexa app on phone 2. Select devices 3. Press + in the upper right corner 4. Press add group 5. Select a room name from the list or create your custom room name 6. Press Next 7. Select the Alexa-enabled device you want in the group 8. Select the light from the device list that you want to turn on 9. Press save You're now done and should be able to go to the room with the selected Alexa device and say, "Alexa, turn on the light" and the light should turn on.

To make this work by saying Alexa turn on the light, you need a group with just the light you want to turn and the Alexa device you want to use for turning on that light. I have only made these groups from the Alexa phone app so.

You could control a scene that has the brightness level set to your liking.

I use polyglot to control Lifx and Hue bulbs and I can use the group feature to turn these lights on and off and the status of the polyglot node in the admin console changes accordingly. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

When the group light is turned off or turned on the status in ISY admin console is changed. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

@larryllix it's no different than manually switching on that light.

It works with only devices in that group. However, you can turn other lights on and off with that same echo device by using the Alexa spoken name. For example, if I walk ion the bedroom and say Alexa turn on the light, the ceiling light turns on. If I walk into the room and say Alexa turn on the bedside lamp, the bedside lamp turns on. Or I could say Alexa turn on any other device and it would turn that device on. As long as you have a spoken for that device in Alexa.

By using the group feature in the Alexa app you can assign individual echo devices and other devices like switches to a group. This allows you to walk the room with that group and say, "Alexa, turn on the light" and the light will turn on. It's a nice feature.

Does that sound right? Yes this correct. Don't have time to look at programs and see if they have support for ringing the bell and motion being detected but it sound reasonable they would. Programs do support the doorbell ringing and doorbell motion. Be sure to select "Control" in your program.

My adm console shows the same thing as yours. So, it seems like you have it set up properly. I have a notify program for my Ring doorbell and a Ring Stick-up cam and both work fine. I do use "control" in the "If" condition of the programs.

If you had the portal open when you added the devices to your ISY, pressing the refresh button on the ISY portal should add those devices to your device list.

@larryllix , Interesting, I use state variables defined as an MS and the routines work as expected. Did Alexa discover your state variable after you added it to Alexa in the portal?

I'm experiencing the same thing on my Samsung Note 8. It may update on itself after hours of leaving a location. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Polyglot cloud does not require a PC or RPI to run. You will need a computer to access the Polyglot Cloud dashboard. The dashboard is to Polyglot cloud as the admin console is to the ISY
