I, too, have had ISY not discovered under PG2 for several weeks. It just happened one day without and changes or updates that I'm aware of. I've tried all suggestions made without success. Meanwhile, I can access my ISY when needed (not often) through AC. I've mostly given up, waiting on official migration to PG3 and ISY on Polisy.

We had a FAAC-based dual swing gate system professionally installed for our home. Public safety access is with a yelp receiver--it listens for a siren yelp and opens the gates (with small sign next to gate). I have a bunch of 4-button self-programmed remotes for cars. This is the control board my system uses: http://bernationalcontrols.com/support_docs/Gates/FAAC/E024U_02.pdf I also ordered one of these, in hopes of integrating into ISY/Alexa: https://www.remootio.com/ Shipping was very quick. I've been waiting for warmer weather to tackle this, plus, since I'm not an EE, I'm scared I'll screw up something in the controller board.

Mohansen, Can you please describe your Sonos/ISY set-up in more detail? I'm working on getting Echo/ISY going with the Alexa skill (sitting for too many minutes saying "Yes" every 10 seconds or so when devices are taking too long to refresh; I have ~ 150 devices found), and would like to integrate my ten Sonos zones as well. Do you think that's possible with your method? I've splurged on Echos to place strategically around the house, but now have to figure out how to best name everything so Alexa will understand. If I fully understood what barrygordon was doing (yup, read all the pages, I think barrygordon is a godsend to us), I would implement the RPi2 I bought just for the HA Bridge approach, but I'm not a programmer and realized I too heavily need my hand held while setting up the appropriate file tree structure, and so on. I thought of just trying to run off my main PC, which is always on, or...now that I think of it...maybe off my Synology NAS?.... Or, wait for Amazon/Michel to finally reach "agreement" on the connected home. Dean
