I have had the same issue, and since then I synch through Google : "OK Google synch my devices". GH will then respond by saying that it is synching with Universal Devices (and other products such as Nest, Samsung appliances, etc).
-
I believe that 'bedroom' for a device may not work. Room names may be reserved in Google Home. Try something like 'master celing'

I have now tried everything. I've unlinked ISY (and hue), factory reset both of my minis and set them up again.
I have also deleted GH app, rebooted the phone and re-installed GH app.
Same behavior: I have ISY device called "bedroom", when I say "Turn on bedroom light", GH app searches web, mini says "Sorry, I don't know how to help with that".Have you tried changing the spoken ? I have had cases where GH did not "like" my chosen spokens. As an example I now have spokens such as "master bedroom ceiling light", master bedroom center light", et c etc.

I do not see any evidence of having multiple accounts. But, using mic in Google Home app doesn't work either. Lights work fine if I press on/off buttons. But voice commands just does web search, even though it seems to understand me correctly.
I will try resetting them if there are no better suggestions.Have you tried deleting the GH App, rebooting your phone, and re-install the GH App ?

I have commented before that my 2 Mimolites do not report status and do not respond to query. However they do properly react to ISY instructions (ON / OFF) whether directly or through programs.
I wonder whether the wiring is wrong even though they work (except status reporting and query) .
I have included copy of 3rd level event log.
Any suggestion is welcome,
Thanks

I've configured both minis with the same GH app as linking lights. I doubt that they would get a different account from somewhere else. Is there an easy way to check? Or should I somehow reset those and try again?
If you see both minis on the same page in your App, then you used the same account.

Does the fact that it's a mini and not larger model make a difference? I thought maybe mini just doesn't work for automation...
No that makes no difference. I have two Google Home and two Google Mini as well as a Google Hub. They all work.
If you do have more than one Google accounts, then these may show up in the same Google accounts page and then you have to choose the right one. I have had that issue some time ago.

I just realized that you are using an Insteon device. My comments are about my Zwave setup. This works perfectly with GH but of course I need to use separate devices for Fan and Fan, Light, unlike Insteon.

Yes I understand that, but it's not very friendly. Would like to know what other options are available.

I suggest that you try to create a GH Shortcut/Routine.

If the fan is on high and I say *turn on x fan low" it works, but medium and high don't work even though GH says it's being changed.

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

In the portal I set the fanlinc device as a fan, but when I tell google to turn on the fan to hi, it says setting fan speed to high, but shows Fan (switch) On. It turns on to low.
anone else see this issue?
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.

Not sure what you mean? It adds the two items to the list, an on off power switch and a scene button (which has nothing in the right/big screen where the other one just has "on"
I did the exclude/include about 5 times and still get the same issue along with that "not implemented" error
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.

I need to revisit this one since I never got it working and really need to. I started clean by excluding the plug in unit (I plugged it into an outlet about 2' from the ISY) and it took it off the list. I included it, did the button tap, it added it back as two line items (like above), and gave the not implemented error. When I then took into into a bedroom and plugged it into a wall with a lamp on it the lamp came on because the physical lamp switch is set to on since it was on a dumb timer and in the admin console, I do see the status as "on" but I have no way to control it. Even tho ultimately, I want to get the schlage lock in play here, I figured testing with a lamp was best first.
Anyone have any ideas?
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.

Also your suggestion to link/unlink Google Home worked! Spokens were successfully sent to Google home.
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.

That's the same error message that's in the second thread that I linked to. It's been happening since I got the device, and definitely since 5.0.13 because I reported it here. I don't recall if I had to do anything special to get instant status. Here's a program that I use to tell me when my garage door is open:
Garage Door Open - [ID 004A][Parent 0051][Not Enabled] If 'Devices / Garage / Garage Door Sensor' Status is Off Then Set Elk Speak Phrase 'Miscellaneous 1 ' Set 'Devices / Garage / Garage Door Switch' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')Note that it's disabled, but it works fine when I run it as part of my "good night" routine, and I don't think it kicks off a query. I also have Alexa routines that monitor the MIMOLite to tell me if my garage door opens or closes and a nearby Dot announces it. No queries there that I'm aware of.
Here's a blurb from their FAQ:
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 ?

I assume that it's the curl command, which basically lets you initiate lots of different network requests from the command line.
I use a MIMOLite for my garage door and it automatically reports status. I do have some trouble getting the status to sync up after I reboot the ISY, but I suspect that's due to the query issue that I mentioned here, and earlier in one of the ISY 5.0.x release threads.
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.

The one place that I rely on it is my "mailman audible annunciator". When my mailbox is opened, the ISY turns on an LED on a Homeseer WD200+ and then turns on a Mimo relay driving a sonalert. When my wife gets the mail she presses a button (connected to the Mimo Lite Input) that turns off the blinking LED. I have attached a picture.
This happens 6 times a week with no failures, so far....
I am intrigued by the Practical Guide to Curl..... (curling?).

rely on them to report their status change and do not query them.
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.

But the newer MIMO2+ does say "...the latest Z wave Plus technology."
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.

Hi Michael,
Are you on 5.0.10 or 5.0.12?
With kind regards,

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

Thx, Asbril for taking time to respond. I am quite surprised that there are not more people deeply interested in a low-voltage solution for I/O as part of the ISY family of supported devices. The MIMO2+ would have been the perfect solution for an HVAC application where I have with no available 110vac outlets. I need to control two relays to select four different blower speeds on a fixed-speed air handler in attic (married to a new variable speed Bosch compressor installed outside)
It would seem that support for a simple Modbus TCP stack in the ISY would open the door to tons of existing product and DIY Arduino-type solutions. I know that the TCP Modbus stack would be fairly trivial, but the necessary configuration support would take quite bit of effort. Yes, I am aware of NodeLink, but really do not want (yet another) programmed part that I need to support for the next 10 plus years. Also, do not want to rely on WIFI for my automation backbone.
I am deeply disappointed in the Z Wave protocol that seems to leave too much uncertainty on implementation within both controller and devices. The more I read, the more it seems that every new device or controller requires a period of time to shake out the bugs. It would seem to be a nearly impossible task for a controller manufacturer such as Universal Devices to maintain their code base with never ending stream of flakey and unique device interfaces.
In any case, for this situation, I have resolved to get 110vac to my attic location and use a Smartenit EZIO2x4 to drive my two 24vac relays. Hope there will not be disappointment on that path too, and just thinking that spending $120 for that one device is excessive.
What is so sad is that the industrial control market has matured to a point to provide products like these full-fledged Programmable Logic Controller (PLC's) replete with analog/digital I/O, embedded web servers with Ethernet for roughly the same price range as that stupid I/O module:
http://www.wolfautomation.com/media/pdf/smartrelay/idec/idec-flonef-competitorcomparison.pdf
(you can get an amazing spread of I/O and functionality for $145 )
In any case, thx for your input!
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.

It appears that the MimoLite works, but does have some flakey behavior on reporting relay
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.
