Can we get some example REST commands for the NEST? i.e. code to set away, raise 1 degree, down 1 degree? Thanks!

I did the 4-tap on the 2635. I was talking about the behavior of the 2477S controller.

The four tap test was interesting. The 2477S that is the controller was blinking white, but sometimes red as well. There is another 2477S (not part of the scene) even further away that just blinks white. This makes me believe the issue is not the RF range from the controller to the 2635.

Restore device gives me a Cannot Communicate. I had thought both legs were coupled; I had an outlet that didn't get powerline communication until I put a 2635 on it, so I thought it was bridging the legs.

I think there must be a communication issue, I get a "failed reading device link" when I try to load the link table. I wonder what the difference in communication methods is between first and second "on" press on the 2477S is.

On level is 100 and ramp rate is grayed out.

I have a 2635-222 module as a responder in a scene. The controller is a 2477S switch about 15' away. When I turn on the scene, the 2635 does not turn on. The 2477S flashes red, presumably to indicate it can not contact the 2635? However, if I hit "on" a second time right away on the 2477S, it turns on the 2635 instantly, every time. If it really was a communication issue, why does it work every time just hitting ON a second time? Does the 2477S use a different way of communicating with the second ON hit? Thanks!

The instructions that come with it are to set it to make a wall switch a responder - I did this first without the ISY console. Much better now that I have it in the admin console.

How do you make it a controller? I don't even see how you put it into the administrator console. EDIT: nevermind, I figured it out. I didn't realize it was also called a remotelink2

When I program my 4-scene mini remote to a switch, the behavior is not the same as physically flipping the switch. The switch I want to flip is a controller for a scene - but the remote triggers it as a responder only (does not activate the rest of the scene). Any solution to this?

I tried the hue emulator on both a Pi1 and Pi2 - both seemed "sluggish" to respond, and often didn't respond at all (echo would report device not found). Much more reliable and fast on a PC.

There are certain key words you can't really have in device names, otherwise echo will interpret them as a non-connected-home command. I've found that "music" and "alarm" are two.

Tried out the "turn off security authorization code tango four echo nine" idea, and as expected, it would accept this device even when severely truncated. It would disarm even if I said only "turn off security authorization code". So I'm guessing not a great idea.

You would have to say "turn off home security password one two three four". I'm not sure this is a good idea, there seems to be some fuzzy allowance for misunderstood words. You could potentially say a wrong password to some degree and it would still accept it as the "security off" device. It would be cooler to have the off security code have nato alphabet in it kind of like the star trek security authorizations. "turn off security authorization code tango four echo nine" It might be worth a try and see how "wrong' you can be and still get it to turn it off. Probably easier to "steal" someone's password if they announce it as opposed to type it into a keypad.

Is there a way to auto-bypass certain zones on the ELK? Once the bypassed motions become still, they should flip to a non-bypassed mode.

Just set my echo/hue emulator to allow me to arm my elk security. Apparently "turn on alarm" is reserved for echo's wake-up alarm, to I had to call it "security system". I set the off URL to a dummy call, so that you still need to go punch in a code to disarm the system.

This one is pretty good: http://community.smartthings.com/t/playing-around-with-amazon-echo-technical-interface-discussion/14887/50 Just change the onURL and offURL to be the correct REST commands for ISY.

Try this version

Echo -> huebridge -> ISY -> lights, IR linq, REST commands to start music https://twitter.com/jruben4/status/613520576536252416/video/1

Looks nice! Would love to take a look at this.

Correct, you can't have spaces in the URL or java bombs out. Have to use the %20 code.

Yes, but it is a problem since programs can only be triggered by switches, not by scenes. I'm going to have to make a hack using variables, since I can control those by REST and also trigger programs with them.

Right now I can only turn on/off scenes, because their ID has no spaces in it. Java seems to bomb out when there is a space in the device ID like the switches have. EDIT: seems to work with the spaces replaced by %20. Strangely though, turning on a switch via a REST command is not the same as physically flipping the switch. It's not activating the rest of the scene it is a controller for like it does when physically turned on.

I set up the hue emulator and it works great with echo! Very fast response, and you can set regular names for scenes, so you can say "alexa, turn off kitchen lights". Much better than the prior echo hacks. Put it on a rasberry Pi - takes 30 minutes to start the java script, but once it's running it's still very fast to respond to requests.

I asked amazon support about the delay from echo to IFTTT - here is there response:
