You should be able to use routines to accomplish what you want to. Have you read through this?

Before I installed the polyglot solution on my Chamberlain opener, I installed a GoControl/Linear GD00Z-4 Z-Wave Garage Door Opener Remote Controller . It doesn't control the garage door but does report the status of the garage door to the ISY and you can then use that status in your programs. It works well for me.

@deirwin , Did you perform network heal to your Z-Wave network after you moved your ISY? If not, you may want to do that and see if your Z-Wave communications improve.

It works perfectly now Benoit!! Thank you!!

Benoit, I have a similar situation with a routine that has a scene in it. The routine turns the scene off. If the scene is turned on when the routine is run, it turns off the scene as its supposed to. If the scene is off when the routine is run, the scene will flash on and then turn the scene off. When adding the scene to the routine, it will not allow the scene to be turned off. Instead, it can only be dimmed to 1%. It makes no difference if I run the routine manually or through Alexa, the results are the same.

@Tuckerdude , Make sure that Live Update is checked in your ISY Portal. I went through the same struggles as you are only to discover that Live Update was not checked. I checked Live Update and then followed these instructions from Benoit: Disable the skill, then re-enable the skill. Delete the routine and re-create the routine

@Deuce , It's good to hear the reprogrammed MS is working from the area it needs to work from. The other MS's will need to be put in linking mode to reprogram them.

@Deuce, The motion sensor that you reprogrammed, is it now outdoors near the others that are not working? If not, you may want to locate it an area similar distance and environment as the others to see if it still works from that area. If it was interference, then why would the MS not work, without reprogramming it, when you brought it closer to the ISY? I would bring one more MS closer to the ISY and see if you get the same results as the other one.

Does it seem reasonable that it connects and sees it but doesn't allow control and keeps giving the "error" because of bad communications? Yes Looks like I will order up a few of the NZW36s. I assume I don't need anything actually plugged into them just using them to help repeat the signal? They will repeat the signal without anything being plugged into them. Unfortunately, the only place between the door lock and ISY is next to the door about a foot away in an outlet and another outlet further down that hall. It's the front door of a foyer that is about 10' wide and 40' long. RF can be very unpredictable. There are instances that you think you will never get coverage and you do. Then there are those times that you think coverage should be no problem and it turns out to be a problem. About all, you can do is add devices until you get the coverage you want/need.

@watson524 , Z-Wave is a mesh network. The more devices you have, the better the communications will be between devices. Keep in mind battery-powered devices don't repeat the Z-Wave signal. So, you will need devices such as switches, outlets, repeaters, etc. to improve your mesh network.

@Watson, This is what you should see in your ISY.

@watson524 , The ISY is most likely too far away to add your lock. You will need to move your ISY closer to the lock or the lock closer to the ISY. They need to be very close, within a few feet to get the lock included. Once the lock is included you will be able to move them further apart.

@watson524 are you extending the deadbolt before trying to exclude or include? Schlage locks usually include or exclude easily in the ISY as long as they are close enough to the ISY.

@watson524 Here you go: https://support.smartthings.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002058563-How-to-exclude-Z-Wave-devices-in-the-SmartThings-app

@watson524 Yes, with the add or exclude window open on the ISY, extend the bolt on the lock and then perform the following: 1. Press the Schlage logo button. 2. Enter your programming code. 3.Press 0 You should then get a check mark if the lock was included or excluded and an X if the attempt was unsuccessful. I would exclude the lock from your Smart Things hub before trying to add it to your ISY.

@watson524 , As long as the exclude window was open in your ISY when you entered the information in your lock you should be good. That is the correct way to exclude a Schlage lock. You should now be able to add the lock to your ISY.

@silverton38 , there is usually a condition in the IF line in a program that triggers the THEN in the program.. However, you could have a program with no IF and only THEN and ELSE. In this case, you could have Alexa run the THEN or ELSE or another program with an IF run the THEN and ELSE. Telling Alexa to turn the program on will run the THEN and telling Alexa to turn the program off with run the ELSE.

@silverton38 , Once the program, is added to the Amazon Echo Device list: Turn On: “Alexa, turn on the kitchen light” - runs Then Turn Off: “Alexa, turn off the kitchen light” - runs Else

@cam, Are you using the ISY Launcher? You can find it here:

@uffy, Only Power Light Is On: Most probably power supply related. You can try any power supply that outputs anywhere between 5 volt and 30 volts,center positive, 2mm barrel connector

@uffy , 1. Have you logged into your router to see if your ISY is on the router's connected devices list? If so, does the IP address match what you are using in your attempts to ping your ISY? 2. What firmware and UI versions are you using? 3. Have you tried the ISY Launcher? It can be found here.

For 4.6.2 firmware and below, as well as 5.0.12 firmware and below, you will get the original ISY Finder when you launch.

I do have an Elk panel and I like your idea!! Thank you!!

@PhanTomiZ, This is exactly the information I was looking for. I knew I would need to put the ISP equipment and ISY on a UPS. I didn't know how to go about getting the notification. Now I do. Thank you!! Thank you very much!!

@paulbates and @larryllix I appreciate your information. When a device that is offline is queried manually an request failed error is generated. I was hoping there was a way that a query could be sent to a device in a program and if the device wasn't available the ISY would know and then a power outage notification could be sent from that information. Thank you!!
