Multiple Echos, different IDs not working
I did activate/register the second Echo with the new Amazon account. The new account set up properly, skills were available including the ISY skill, and as you can see from the image I posted, the ISY was not available from the Connected Home window. I tried with two different Echos and two different Amazon accounts. A goal is to be able to use the same command in different areas. We currently need to specify which ceiling light we want turned on, for example, the living room light, dining room light or bedroom light no matter where we issue the command. We'd like to be able to say, "Alexa, turn the light on," and have the light turn on in the room we're in. Each Echo has a different wake word, Alexa, Amazon and Echo. so there'll be no confusion.

Amazon Fire TV with Alexa
You are correct in that you do not need an Echo. But you still need to purchase the portal and you are restricted to issuing commands using the included Bluetooth microphone which has a range of less than 30'.

Multiple Echos, different IDs not working
I tried with a different Echo. Same results, the Alexa app does not include an ISY among those in Connected Home. I suspect that a second portal is required which, in turn, requires a second ISY. I was hoping for a less costly solution.

What is the best Insteon module for powered blinds?
Which specific H-D motor? Which battery pack? Which controller? Provide as much information as you can. BTW, not pertinent to you dilemma, but how long do the batteries last? Are you using lithium batteries? How often do you move blinds?

You'll, of course, need the remote with voice.

There's a difference in the firmware and UI. Both should must match. Help > About

Multiple Echos, different IDs not working
OK, I got my voice back. The original two Echos are working. But there's still no ISY option for the new Alexa account.

Battery powered devices do not always report their current state. You may be able see a dry state if you tap the set button.

Multiple Echos, different IDs not working
I added a 2nd Echo account following these instructions: 1. Get a new Amazon Account and tie your 2nd Echo to the new Amazon account 2. In ISY Portal: a. Create a Subaccount under your account b. Create a different user under your new Subaccount c. Add your ISY to the new Subaccount d. Go to Admin Console | Portals | Approve the access from the Subaccount e. Login to ISY Portal using the subaccount credentials f. Follow the same procedures for linking ISY Portal to Echo but this time use the Second Amazon account (#1) Everything went well until I opened the new Alexa account. Link to ISY doesn't appear at all. Edit: now nothing works, not even the original two Echos.

Missing buttons.
Devices in red can be controllers. Devices in blue are responders only.

recover/replace console user/password
Possible, but not likely. When adding a legacy device, browse the ISY list for the device you're adding. The PLM doesn't have a list of devices.

echo won't discover scene
The scene should have been added unless you created it after the portal was initially set up.

Missing buttons.
What are the other red devices?

Missing buttons.
Is there a box with a + to the left of the device? What information is at the top center when you select the device?

The only workaround I found that works is rechargeable batteries.

From the portal, select add scene. Search for and add the scene, then from the Alexa, discover devices.

INSTEON 2843-222 Wireless Open/Close Sensor
QSG showing jumper. It's also shown in the Owner's Manual for earlier revisions.

INSTEON 2843-222 Wireless Open/Close Sensor
That depends on the age of the sensor. Revisions 1.9 and later do not have the jumper.

INSTEON 2843-222 Wireless Open/Close Sensor
The sensor does respond to both open and close. The sensor will send an on when opened and an off when closed. If you want another device to turn on when the sensor is closed, then you can do that with a program.

Maximum distance between ISY and PLM?
You'll also need Ethernet to Serial cables Neither the ISY nor the router has a serial port. (The 99i did.)
-
Maximum distance between ISY and PLM?
Teken, it that distance between the router and PLM or between the PLM and ISY or both?
-
Maximum distance between ISY and PLM?
The cable distance between the ISY and PLM should be 6' or less. The distance between the ISY and router can be longer. There is no advantage to using Cat6 over Cat5 for the ISY.
