After the upgrade my Polisy ISY no longer shows as online in the ISY Portal. Have tried reboots and otherwise. Locally ISY and Node server both work just fine. Except it does not show the portal module any more. Does not seem to be a network issue as my 994 ISY shows up just fine. Thoughts for me to try?

You are advanced enough to use curl, that says you know enough. Start small and inch your way there. The cleanest way is a node server for sure but there are other ways to skin the cat (I am old too btw: ). Write a script with curl and then use the ISY REST to write your variable. Then have your script run as a service on a desktop or a raspberry pi triggered regularly. I did this before the nodes were a thing then finally took a look at a few node server examples and made first some changes to others then my own node. SeJ

Omg this is a wonderful feature. As stated previous it will reduce my NR significantly as I mastery use them with prowl for notifications. I’ll be watching the thread on getting it to work. Also building up my fortitude to start from scratch on the Polisy. SeJ

@Michel Kohanim, yes sir I did. a couple times to be sure. when I look up similar issues with bsd they suggest to 'wait' until the servers update, but it seems most others here are not having any issues.

so I ordered my usb plm and decided to put isy on my polyisy got as far as running the v13 shell script which has me running v5.04 isy I am on the portal which verifies the version just fine. all is running fine but when I try to update to v5.1.1 I get.. pkg: https://pkg.isy.io/FreeBSD-base/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest/packagesite.pkg: Not Found FreeBSD-base repository is up to date. Updating udi repository catalogue... udi repository is up to date. All repositories are up to date. when run from the portal the update gives a http 500 error when run from the admin the update window asks for me to do a backup then nothing. any thoughts?

I do not use GH, just Alexa & while sometimes the voice recognition can be frustrating, once it understands execution is maximum 5s and usually quicker. I use the portal V3 and have north of 50 commands linked to my isy.

Mpg, Have you played around with Alexa groups at all? They were pretty basic at first but work “ok” now. If you put the Alexa for the room in the group I know the “Alexa lights on” works well generically in multiple rooms. The same is claimed & may be true with other devices. If you go into the app there is help for groups that is much much better than when it first came out. You can even nest groups now.

Of course the specific answer to your question is above. I’m curious to ask why are you using a different account for each Alexa. I have 8 units in my house using the same Alexa skill -> portal -> ISY. Is there a security or control issue you are concerned about? Interested; one of us may learn something here, likely me.

Besides organization does anyone know any feature differences between scenes and devices on the Alexa?

Can verify the same workaround. Change to light/device from scene. (remember to 'forget' the old scene and 'discover' on the Alexa app or website). Only risk I can see here is now you could tell Alexa to set a scene to a percent on. Not a big deal.
