Yes, I already changed it, thanks. Any ideas on Locative not working??

I get this message when I use it in a browser... Cannot GET /api/ifttt/Away/key/adc3ee56-421c-44c1-9350-0e16a719e4ec

Speaking of Locative, is anyone else having problems? It appears to have stopped responding on Feb 4th or 5th. It doesn't even respond to the Send Test-Request.

Thanks, can't wait to get home and try it.

So let me make sure I understand that. If I plug one of my Sonos into the Dot it plays the music on all of the Sonos speakers? It would now have full voice control...."Alexa. play Sting on Pandora" would give me whole house sound?

Ok, setup was a breeze as with the Echo. The Dot is even smaller than I expected. So I was standing where both could hear me and they both answered all of my questions. When I asked Alexa to play 'Sting', each device played a different song. Hmmmmm...

All is well now, as you mentioned it was an issue with installing MobiLinc Connect. Michael got me squared away this weekend and now I have most of my devices on ISY, Echo funtionality and MobiLinc access. Life is good. Thanks all for the help.

I was reading some of your posts in a different thread. I have MobiLinc and have the Portal Integration - Mobilinc. It sounds like this may be an issue? I wasn't aware there isn't a phone app for ISY so I went with Mobilinc. However, I don't want to have it at the expense of not using the ISY Portal for Echo integration. Does it have to be one or the other? The whole portal thing is confusing to me...

No change using a static IP

Yes, the Firmware version is the same as my UI version. Not sure what I'm looking for concerning .jnlp but didn't find anything to download.

It uses DHCP and I have unplugged the power to it, my cable modem and my router as some others have suggested.

I have rebooted the world and nothing works. What I just noticed is that the ISY Portal is not listed on the Help/About Product list. It is also not shown in the Configuration/Portals tab. Is that normal? I could swear I saw it listed there before. Yet it shows as Active under my purchased modules and I certainly can log into it. Just keeps saying ISY is not online and hasn't been since 4:01 Saturday morning. This was supposed to be my day setting things up w Alexa...lol

I'm still offline. Reboots have not helped. I just purchased my portal this weekend. Says it's been offline since 4:01am. Any ideas???

My portal still says ISY offline. I have rebooted the ISY several times. Anyone have any ideas??

My Echo starting responding with "ok" again yesterday.

Thanks to all for sharing, I heard exactly what I needed to and will be ordering an ISY. Of course what this really means is you'll be seeing more 'how to' questions from me...LOL

Thanks for the comments and taking the time to respond...I suspect one of the major reasons for going with the ISY might be the strength of the user community. So MWareman... "Also, just get the $50/2yr ISY Portal - and you'll get ISY to integrate with Alexa without the skill... All the benefits of ISY with all the benefits of the Insteon Hum - no Hub required." So...if I use the portal I can just tell Alexa to "Turn on the living room lights"? I don't have to say "Alexa tell Issy to turn on the living room lights"? Thanks.

Hello, Like many of you, I have recently become engrossed in smart homes in general and all of the possibilities. I have built a fairly standard Insteon system so far (light switches, door lock, garage door opener, thermostat and motion) and also have some LIFX and the Echo. I am fairly happy with the performance of what I have and how it works with Echo. My goal is to do as much as I can with Echo and not have to always open an app. The one area where base Insteon is lacking is the if then else category. Research has led me to both the ISY994i and to Homeseer (HS3). So here is my goal, I simply want to create scenes(?) that take advantage of the if then logic. Time of day, day of week, what else is going on with other devices and so on. My concern is that if I use the ISY994i I will have to 'dedicate' my Insteon devices to it instead of the Insteon hub. I hate to do this because the Insteon hub integrates directly with the Echo and I don't need to use a skill. My understanding is that I would need a skill to use ISY with Echo. So really all I want is to keep my Echo functionality and simplicity while adding some 'if then else' smarts to my system. Any help/suggestions will be appreciated.
