Does anyone know if the EZIO8SA PLM is compatible or can be at least used for parts?
-
I had this same issue when I jumped to Windows 10. You need to install Java for Windows before any of those instructions work.

It looks like we may have other options with Sonos shortly: https://mobilesyrup.com/2018/08/29/sonos-new-amp-hardware-opens-developer-platform-september/

My intercom worked fine without any iOS or Android apps needed, but is now broken since switching my account over to Amazon.ca

I had my ISY in my old house communicating back to my meter (~40ft) and then to my new shop panel (~200ft) which then fed my new house (~75ft). All worked well controlling Insteon switches in new house without any signal bridges.

I think we are dreaming of any sort of Insteon support but I would've taken built in Z-Wave. The choice of Zigbee was surprising.

Anybody using the Ecobee 4 yet with other Echos? I notice that it will respond at the same time as other Echo Dots nearby. I believe this was the same issue people were having when the Echos were first released?
-
They must have fixed something because it wasn't working earlier and now all of a sudden my error has gone away and all my devices have imported. Thanks
-
I don't really want to redo all my Echo controls but may be worth a try if I can get this to work. I was thinking the same thing about some sort of limitation since it was just released in Canada.

I am also in Canada and received my Google home Monday and have 35 devices working properly with my Amazon Echo/Dots. Tried adding the Universal Devices Home Control and I get "Something Went Wrong, Please Try Again" It doesn't matter how many times I "Try Again" it still doesn't work and have no idea what the actual problem is. I was wondering the same as you that maybe I have too many devices?

I have the Sony Dash and thought the Echo Show looked very similar. I was unaware that Sony is shutting these off so maybe I should be looking at ordering a couple Shows. If only they were supported properly in Canada.
-
I just tried mine this morning on my older Echo with my Canadian address and on the newer Dots with a US address. Both work with timers and reminders as expected.
-
I just tried this and it responded correctly for me, but I have the Insteon thermostat and it is reporting in Celsius.
-
Any progress on this as I am also trying to eliminate my NAS. It appears that if my external drive goes into sleep mode or power stand-by, the first time an announcement is triggered, it does not make the queue before the "play" command. Adding a large wait command may help but is not the proper solution. Each additional trigger works perfectly once the drive is awake.

This new light switch replacement looks interesting: https://www.brilliant.tech/ Video intercom and Alexa built in. Compatible with Sonos and Nest. Uses WiFi to communicate so should be possible to interface with ISY? Ship date is late summer, 2017 (Aug/Sept)
-
I did manage to get this working and it was easier than I had thought. No problems with permissions as I copied the file to the "Public" section on a WD My Book Live. The only hiccup I had was that I had to tell Sonos to "Play" with another network resource after the file loaded into the queue. I will test and experiment more with this later. Thanks again for your help on this.

How To Guide: Getting Alexa to provide verbal responses

Thanks BlueMan, I know I tried something like this at first but wasn't getting the results I expected. Probably a stupid mistake I made in my Network Resources. I will experiment more with this tomorrow. -

I am not using a state variable, as a normal integer is working fine for me right now. I am able to get 0.5 degree (Celsius) precision from the Insteon thermostat and the above program. The variable number is used in the Network Resource to update the Intent in your skill. -
How To Guide: Getting Alexa to provide verbal responses
Outlander replied to blueman2's topic in Amazon Echo
Sorry, yes I am using 5.06 to update the variables. I compare the actual temperature with my stored variable and if not the same, update variable, and update Responder with network resource. I have a similar program for the downstairs temperature. TempUS2Vars - [iD 009F][Parent 0023] If 'Temperature / Upstairs Main' Temperature is not '$UpstairsTemp Degrees' Then $UpstairsTemp = 'Temperature / Upstairs Main' Temperature ° Resource 'RespMainTemperature' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') -
I am in central British Columbia in Canada. I used the instructions at the beginning and they worked fine for me, but maybe something has been changed since then? UPDATE: As others have also stated, this no longer works. Tried updating my new Dots and everything fails after setting the TimeZoneID in the first step.

I did this as well with Insteon thermostats for upstairs and downstairs. I just update the two variables every time they change. I am not certain if you could do the same with the Nests? Contemplating switching from the Insteon thermostats to something else but working well so far. -
She reports correctly the area I am in but not the larger city name. I am happy I got it working right away, and wondering if they have changed something since then?
-
I am not certain if it used the City info or the Postal Code as it actually tells me the area of the city I am located and not the actual city name. A little odd I thought.

I'm in British Columbia (not Vancouver) and it worked fine for me.
