Wow, much faster. Great job.

Benoit, Disregard my post of: "ScottAvery brings up a good point: Red or gone? Will we be able to enter multiple spoken for the device? If someone wanted the same device to have two or more spoken names, (I have trouble remembering one for all my devices) but just incase they want that, it might should just change color." I just tried to give a device a second spoken name, by accident, and it tells me it already has a spoken name. So I guess it can just not show up in the drop down. You probably already know this. -Keith

Thanks Benoit. ScottAvery brings up a good point: Red or gone? Will we be able to enter multiple spoken for the device? If someone wanted the same device to have two or more spoken names, (I have trouble remembering one for all my devices) but just incase they want that, it might should just change color. -Keith

Stusview, Are you still having this issue? Have you tried disabling and re-enable the ISY skill in the Echo app? Disable, log out for a minute or 2. Log back in and Enable the ISY skill. Just a thought. -Keith

Did not put a long description but my contact info is there. Like Teken said not a problem for me either. Just noticed it was a blue screen. At least it is not the blue screen of death. -Keith

Michel, When you get to the step in the portal when you are assigning Spoken Nodes and scenes, it would be great as you assigned them they no longer appeared in the drop down menu or at least turned red after you have assigned them a spoken name. After about 40 or 50 I have to keep going back to see which I missed. It might not be any easy fix, but it sure would be helpful. -Keith

Yes Michel it does, a 24 digit string I think it was. -Keith

Michel, On the machine I'm on now it is Windows 7 Professional and IE 11. Just tested and still blue. Copied URL into Chrome, same machine, still just blue. -Keith

Michel, You are so welcome. I hope it is a help. Best regards, Keith

Blue screen for me also. I noticed this the other day. And I'm mad no unicorns or ponies. Just a chupacabra.

Makes me a little nervous that I forgot something. Madcodger I guess you can be the guinea pig. Let me know what I need to change on the original post. I'm sure it will be a work-in-progress.. -Keith

Jon, I'm not being lazy just not sure how. -Keith

Thanks, Xathros. Thanks, Michel. Jon, I'm good with someone else copying and pasting and changing for that matter if they think it's accurate enough. Thanks, Keith

Okay people I have read all 57 pages of the first post and all 16 pages of this post (as of 01/27/2016 6:55am). What has been done is AMAZING. Now I am not a programmer, but have been in and around computers (both hardware and software) all my adult life, thirty some odd years. The instructions from point A to point B are mostly in the 73 pages of these 2 posts. This is my attempt to put this in very layman’s terms. First assuming a person already has an ISY setup a running with either devices, scenes or programs or all of them. And an Amazon account, oh yeah and a Amazon Echo. Also to be able to log into your Administrative Console of your ISY. Make sure the computer you are using to do all this has the last version of Java and your ISY Firmware is up to date. I tried some of this from my iphone and had trouble. I would suggest do all this from a computer. Open your Administrative Console click on Help and then Purchase Modules. This will take you to a UDI page to purchase modules. You have to purchase the ISY Portal. After the purchase go back to your Administrative Console it may ask you do you want to install new module, you do. If it don’t ask, go back to Help then click Manage Modules, it should ask you then to install, install it. After it installs click back on Help, then About write down your UUID number you will need this later, it will look like 00:01:02:03:04:05 probably with some letters mixed in there somewhere. Close Administrative Console. Now go to https//my.isy.io/index.htm create account and log in. Click ADD ISY and add your ISY information. You should see a yellow dot appear, it is waiting on authorization, log out. Log back into your Administrative Console, click Configuration, click Portals. You should see a request, authorize it. Close Administrative Console. Log back into my.iso.io. Your yellow dot should be green now. In the upper right corner click My Profile. You need to input the information to link your Amazon account. Click save and then logout Go to alexa.amazon.com, create an account if you haven’t, and log in. Click on settings, then Connected Home. If you don’t see ISY under Device Links, click here. You may have to log out then back in, but it should appear. Now on the left, click Skills, up at the top search for ISY, it should come up, click Enable. It should take you to your my.isy.io log in page and then log in. Close that page and back in your alexa.amazon.com page click settings, then Connected Home, under Device Links you should see ISY and it should be connected. On the right it should say Unlink from ISY. Log out. Now go back to my.isy.io/index.htm, log in. Click Select tools, then Amazon Echo. If you get a ISY skill error. Continue here, if you don’t go to next paragraph. Close all your logins. Log back into alexa.amazon.com, then Skills, search for ISY and disable and log out. Wait about 60 seconds and log back and Enable the ISY Skill again. You might have to repeat this if you keep getting the Skill error message. Log back into my.isy.io If you don’t get the error, be thankful. You are ready to start adding your items, click device or scene or program whichever you are adding. Click the drop down menu, choose your item, enter the Spoken name, ie: kitchen lights. You can do several or one then test. Tell your echo to find new devices, “ Alexa find new devices” or whichever name you use. She should report back how many devices she found. You are ready to Rock-N-Roll. Somebody please tweak this. I may have forgot something or got something out of order. This would have saved me about 8 hours of my life. Maybe it will help someone else. I have only had one problem with one scene, my foyer. I’ll say, “Alexa turn on foyer”, she says okay but don’t come on. I’ll say it again and they come on. Not all the time, she is really finicky on how I say foyer I guess. Barry you are correct it is slower than how we started out. But understanding the hops it has to make after the command is given it is truly remarkable. So I can live with an extra second or two. Again Super Huge Kudos to all that had a hand in this. This is my first post and if this should not be posted here my apologies. Best Regards, Keith
