When I issue the command "Ask IZZY for Status of Thermostat", it reports back 2 places after the decimal point (eg. 71.00 degrees), and of course it is always .00 (I can't set my thermostat to a temperature increment less than 1). Can the skill be fixed to remove this, and only report the integer? Also, the "Alexa Card" looks pretty bad: thermostat temperature is 71.00It is set to heat at 72.00 Should probably look more like: Thermostat temperature is 71 degrees. It is set to Heat at 72. Can the UD developers fix this please?

For your scenes with fixed dim levels (kitchen dim, kitchen light, and kitchen bright), are those also your Spokens for those scenes? So, you say "Alexa, turn on kitchen dim" and "Alexa, turn on kitchen bright"? Does that work? If so, sounds like a good idea. What if you leave off the "dim" / "light" / "bright" and just say "turn on kitchen" ?

Yes, I would love to see this. Who is Benoit? Can he at least try to make it 4 or 5 or 6 instead of 3? Been doing the Alexa "Groups" thing to be able to set dim levels of multiple devices, but it would be great to have a usable "Dim Scene" command that I don't have to issue 4 times in order to get it down to a decent level. I know I can create a secondary Scene with the same items but a different Spoken Name and have them set to that Dim level.. that's certainly an option.

When I tell Alexa to dim a scene (an ISY scene, not the new Alexa scenes), for example: "Alexa, dim Family Room", it dims the lights contained within that scene a certain percentage. Do you know if there is a way to change that percentage? Is that set in the ISY Admin tool? Ok, ignore that question, it was already discussed here: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/18451-diming-lights-for-scene/?hl=%2Bdim+%2Bscene

How does this affect us Echo users with the UDI Echo Portal integration? Is something new now available (or will be)? https://developer.amazon.com/public/community/post/Tx38PSX7O9YKIK1/Announcing-Scenes-for-Smart-Home-Skills Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Any update on the approval of the thermostat Smart Home skill?

Looks like it's back up now..

Yeah, worked fine yesterday -- seems to be completely down right now...

ISY Portal appears to be down. https://my.isy.io/index.htm

I have been following this thread because I am in the same situation with having an Echo and having room(s) that have multiple devices/switches that for years I have been controlling (turning off/on/dim) by using a Scene in my ISY -- eg. my family room / sun room has about 6 switchlinc switches and a few lamps that make up one Scene. After I purchased the Echo and set up the ISY Portal, I just mapped that Scene to "Family Room" and it turns on and off the entire Scene (family room) no problem -- but of course no dimming was possible, as this thread has been discussing ("that command doesn't work on device 'family room'"). So, as others have mentioned, I put all of the devices that were in my Scene into a "Group" in the Alexa app and sure enough you can say "Set Family Room to X pct" and it works great -- sets the dim level appropriately. That part is GREAT. What happens though, is that it sends the commands to EACH DEVICE INDIVIDUALLY (of course it does!), whether you are turning the lights on, off, or dimming them. So at least you CAN dim them, but now when turning on/off the family room lights, it takes longer, and it looks strange, doing them one at a time. So now I need 2 different "names" for the Family Room (one for the Scene and one for the Group) if I want to continue to turn all of the lights on or off ALL AT THE SAME TIME, and still be able to dim them to any brightness level. Just thought I would throw that out there since I have not seen anyone make mention of this... or maybe there is something I can do different/better. Stuart
