Barry Thank you. I do very much enjoy much enjoy trying to figure things out. I don't remember the post number, but a while back you said that you enjoy puzzles. When I read that I thought that I fit into that category too. My problem is that I come from a industrial mechanical side of the world not IT. I have no problems installing a 50,000 HP gas turbine with all of it's PLC controls or liquid natural gas marine condensing, storage and export facilities. My first home automation project (2000-2014) were actually with an AB PLC, but it required a lot of rewiring switches to the PLC then from the PLC to the device. Now that I have an Isy and Insteon devices, I have it where it controls my brewing stand, with temperature control, ingredient measurement control and liquid transfers. I want to learn what is going on with this type of home automation, but I apologize that I am a novice when it comes to home networks, Linix, Vbasic, (fortran 4 is what I learned), but I DO want to learn. What you have said makes sense, but when I change the on url to what you suggest or what blueman2 has on his post 591, I get "device thermostat is not responding". It appeared to me that Blueman2 has it working on his system and uses it, so I thought I would ask him if he could help me out and understand how it works in the process. Thanks again for everyone's help. I really do like tinkering with this stuff, I have learned so much in the last few months and hope to get to the point where my knowledge allows me to be a valued contributor, I'm just not there yet.

Biueman2 Reading your post 591 it sounds like you have the thermostat control working with your echo. I am running a RPI with EHbridge 1.1.0 and Barry's AWS 5.0.30 I have an insteon thermostat, Isy994i/IR pro running 4.3.26 When i just select my thermostat in AWS and dont change anything. when i say "alexa set thermostat to 70" it replys "ok" but nothing happens. When I change the OnURL to what you had in post 591: "/rest/vars/set/2/9/${intensity.percent}" it responds "device thermostat is not responding" Can you please help me?

THANKS! The Hard reset worked. I had tried the removing them and deleting existing links, but that didn't work. I looked at the instructions, but somehow missed the hard reset. Thanks again. David

Help I installed 2 new SwitchLinc Switches yesterday. installed them as new devices in the admin console, but they were not added to any scenes. I noticed this morning that they are controlling each other. They are in separate rooms all the way across the house, so it is not wiring. I tried removing them and re adding them, adding them to a scene that linked them together and removing them, but they are still controlling each other. What do I do to unlink them? thanks David
