All I did was add my ISY to Amazon Echo. Now the garage door will not stay down. I had it setup with several keypadlinc so I would know when it is up or down. This is the 3rd time it has lost its settings. Can I prevent this? What am I doing wrong? Is it common for these IO lincs to loose settings? When I push one of the keypadlinc buttons I have setup or the garage door button. The door goes down then right back up. I had to disable the iolinc to get the door to stay down. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Thanks Guys. I was looking at MobileLinc for android. So you are happy with it? I like that I can install it on all my android devices. I was thinking of getting some cheap tablets to have around the house. These can be cheaper than the multi button switches. Even thought of creating a windows web server and using the rest commands to make my own interface. Lots of ideas... but I want to make sure I am traveling down the right road... not the least traveled one anyway

Maybe I am being too picky. I just find the wording confusing. I would think for the garage door I could change it to one button. No need for both on and off. Then change the status to OPEN or CLOSED. Labeling can be changed. It is just the ease of explaining what each item does and the feed back it gives.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yep I seen how to rename the devices or scenes. So how do I see examples of OPEN and CLOSED in some of these apps? Is it the app that is doing this? Do you have any control on how it is displayed in the default web site?

Just got my ISY994iZW. So far very nice. Have a few insteon devices functioning. One thing I could not find info about when searching the forum is if you can rename the 'current state' value. For example I have the garage door insteon setup. It gives the feedback of the IOlinc relay. OFF or ON. Can I rename these to OPEN and CLOSED? If using the web interface for feed back it needs to be more descriptive to get the wife approval. Thanks for all the great info I have found so far. Jeff
