You might try forgetting both basement light entries in the Alexa web app and Alexa smartphone app. Then identify the basement lights as a light in the Alexa category in the ISY portal. Then rediscover devices. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

You may want to read through this thread. Benoit gave a very thorough explanation on why I was experiencing the results I was using scenes in Groups and Routines.

Benoit, I appreciate the explanation. the smart phone app behavior is not an issue for me because I rarely use it.It was nice to be able to walk in a room with 3-way switches and say turn on the light. Thanks again!!

I have three scenes consisting of 3-way switches. They have all been set as device/light in Alexa category in the ISY portal, forgotten in the Alexa web version app and then added and show up as devices, and show up as devices in the Aleax smart phone app. If the lights are off I can turn them on with the smart phone app. However, the smart phone app does not show them as being on and I am unable to turn them off with the smart phone app. The only way I can make them work in a group is ask Alexa to turn the group on to a brigtness percentage and turn it off to 0 percent. They do work in routines. Insert other media

I see the on/off button. When I press the button I get an error message and the light does not turn on. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I am still unable to control them with the app, group or routine. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

@bmercier I already had it set up as you instructed so they were not in the scenes. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

@bmercier I have the scenes set as you instructed and still unable to control them via the app, group other routine. What else could I be doing wrong? Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

My problem is with scenes for 3-way switches. Alexa can't control them now in the Alexa App on my phone or when they are included in a group or routine when previously there was not a problem. Thank you.

I'm experiencing the same thing as Goose66.

In Windows I need to use Ctrl V to paste. It will not paste using a mouse paste command.

oberkc, As I look back through the logs, the program was working. The situation was, I would look at the logs when the lights were supposed to go on. I would see nothing in the logs and paid no attention to the time in the logs. Then I would change the program trying to figure pout what I was doing wrong. In the meantime I would manually turn on the lights through the admin console or mobile app. Of course I would have no idea the program triggered because the lights were already on. As usual, the ISY was doing exactly what it was told to do. I just didn't take the proper time to read the logs carefully. Lesson learned!!

Problem resolved. I had not changed the time zone when I installed the ISY a couple months ago. Thus it was off by two hours. Even though I said the off program was working it was scheduled to go off after bedtime. So, in my mind that part of it was working. Currently these are the only programs I have that are time based. So, the problem never appeared before now. Such an easy fix to a frustrating problem. Thanks everyone for the ideas. Much appreciated.

Z-Wave communications seem to be good. The interesting thing is I have similar programs to turn off the lights and that works.

That's how I originally had it programmed and it didn't work for me.

Hi Stu, Please answers below. What is the device that has the condition, "Status 'Christmas Tree Lights' is not On?" It's a Z-Wave On/Off device What kind of load, incandescent, LED, CFL, something else? LED What's the result of running Then for the first program, running Then for the second program? Running the then from either program results in the expected outcome. The Christmas Lights all turn on.

oberkc, please remarks below. Besides not being sure why you break this into two programs, I don't see anything wrong programmatically. After trying many variations of the program, I decided to try having the one program triggered by the other program. I remember having to do this with another program, so I thought I would try it agian. But it didn't solve the problem. Is the first program disabled? No Does the "Christmas Lights" scene turn on if you manually run (then path) the second program? Both programs will run as expected if the "Then Path" is run manually. Does the program log show the first program having run at 4:30 (and being true)? Does the program log show the second program as true and run at 4:30? It does not and this seems to be where the problem is. Do you have any unsaved changes to either of these programs? No

I would like some help in getting the following program to run. What am I doing wrong? I have scene with various Christmas light controllers. I can turn on the scene on and off from the admin console or my mobile apps. But, I have been unable to get the program to do the same. I have similar programs to turn them off. Thank you!!

Java needs to be installed on your computer before downloading admin.jnlp. Once admin.jnlp is downloaded you can then install admin.jnlp by double clicking on the admin.jnlp downloaded file. My experience has been the downloaded file will show up at the bottom of my screen as a downloaded file. I double click the file and it brings up Java then the ISY finder pops up, finds my Is and away we go. If admin.jnlp doesn't appear at the bottom of your screen after downloading, you should be able to find it in the download file on your computer. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

V3 gives you the option in the ISY portal to make scenes appear as lights. Make sure you have the scene added to your portal. Select the scene in the portal. Under select category you can select "light". Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

kingwr, your description was spot on. In my case, I was trying to complicate the process. My first group, following your directions worked just fine. My second and third groups OTH not so much because I deviated from your instructions. Once I got back on task it worked just fine. Thank you!!

From my experience. Each group needs a name. If you name group "bedroom". You must use the name bedroom to turn on the lights. If you name the group "light" you can say turn the light. However, you can have only one group named "light". You can have another group named "lights". But only one "lights". Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Stu, when he says "I attached the white wire to the big bundle". Would that be the neutral bundle?

Both can be accessed through the admin console, Agave mobile app or MobiLinc mobile app. I have two completely independent isy's and access both using these methods. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
