I use either percentages or 'brighten' and 'dim'. I never use 'medium' and 'high'

I use Google Home to activate my ceiling fans. When I tell GH to turn the fan ON it goes to the level that the fan was at the last time it was ON. If I want turn the fan OFF, I just ask GH to turn it OFF. If I want the fan to be at one of the 3 pre-set levels of ON, then I ask GH to put the fan at XX %, knowing that in fact any % below 34 % is lowest speed, between 34 and 66 % it is at the middle speed, and between 67 and 100 % it goes to the fastest speed.

I use Google Home and structurally it has the same issue as Alexa whereby the action words to open and close my automatic curtains are ON and OFF. However, Google Home allows you to create Shortcuts and I have created such shortcuts whereby Open Curtains and Close Curtains are translated by Google Home to mean OFF and ON. I believe that Alexa has a similar way to create Shortcuts or Routines.

Unfortunately, I have nothing else to suggest. Others in this forum are much more experienced than I am and may have better ideas. Good luck.

When you included the device did it just add 1 node or were there others ? This node obviously does not work as there is no ON,OFF,QUERY (or more options) at the bottom. I have seen this sometimes with extra nodes that came with another working node. If not try to exclude and then include again.

As I have mentioned before, another method to send Spokens to GH is with "OK Google synch my devices". You may get a little pause but then GH confirms the synchronization.

RColeman : I apologize for my ignorance, but how do I " set up Association Group #4 in the MIMOlite (with the controller as an associated node). " and/or " the Basic Command Class Get command or the Binary Sensor Get command to query the MIMOlite. ", knowing that I get an error message when doing a Query of my Mimo-Lites ?

Should I change any of the Zwave parameters to get Status reporting ? I get an error message (see screenshot) when doing a Query. See attached event log. ISY-Events-Log.v5.0.14__Mon 2018.11.26 05.40.08 PM.txt

I am intrigued by the Practical Guide to Curl..... (curling?).

Interesting that you have Status reporting from your Mimo-Lites. I do not. Of course the status is properly reported when the status is initiated in ISY, but not when the ON/OFF changes when opening the curtains manually or with the remote control.

I saw that but I would like to be sure that this actually means Zwave Plus, and of course we want to know about ISY compatibility, as the specs of Fortress devices appear to need tweaking to make them work with ISY.

Michel If you are contemplating support for Mimo-2+ (and Mimo-Lite) could you check whether Query would work as these Mimo devices appear not to be Zwave Plus ? Thanks

Thanks dcard, as I reported elsewhere in this forum, I think that I identified why sometimes the ISY does not reflect the actual status of my Mimo-Lites. These are connected to automatic curtains that also have a handheld remote control. When opening or closing the curtains with the remote control this change of status is not reported to the ISY. As I pointed out earlier, my Mimo-Lites do also not respond to a Query command. I have written to Fortress asking them whether the Mimo-2+ is Zwave Plus with status reporting and I am waiting for their reply.

This is exactly the issue that I have with my 2 Mimo-Lites. When I open or close the curtains with the remote control, then the change of status is not reported to the ISY. And Query will not give the current status either. As such I hope that soon the Mimo-2 will work better with ISY so that it will report status as it happens.

I agree that it is confusing.

If you look again you will see that the ISY is sold by Quantum Networks, but fulfilled by Amazon. See top right of page.Warranty applies.

This is indeed interesting as it may be the cause when I have ON reporting from my Mimo-Lites even though the curtains were open. Occasionally I make some changes in my automation that requires switching off power.

Yes, I am also interested to find out. I am currently using 2 Mimo-Lites to operate a double rack of curtains. This works well with my ISY 99 % of the time, but occasionally it reports the wrong status (ON when OFF) and it will not correct the real status with a query command. If MIMO2+ is fully operational with ISY (I use 5.0.14) then I should be able to have 1 MIMO2+ to replace my 2 MIMO-Lites and have ZWave Plus as well.

I confirm.... Some time ago I called UD tech support and Steve answered from Sao Paolo airport ! The world's best customer support.

Atari is also still available on Amazon.

Though it has never happened to me with the Google Home App, I have this issue with Google calendar as well as with other Google applications. The weird issue that I have with GH is that appointments show up on my Google Hub that I deleted several weeks ago.

MWareman, I will have to check again. I am indeed using scenes but, if not mistaken, within the scene on the hub, I can see the individual devices without status. Later today I will try directly with devices (without scene).

The only thing that I consider a successful 'reserved' word use are the shortcuts for my Zwave curtains. Rather than using ON and OFF (which sounds weird) I can use Open and Close through the short cut option of GH.

Never make assumptions...... Sometimes I wish living in a house in the prairie, having the freedom to do (almost) whatever I want. How is that luxury in Canada ? BTW Comcast may try to change our condo contract when it expires in 3 years and take away the unlimited bandwidth. Hopefully there will be more competition so that we are not 'married' to Comcast.

I fully understand. In our condo unlimited bandwidth comes included with our building maintenance fee. At least one benefit coming from our too expensive condo maintenance.
