Took Over Device from Prior Homeowner
I should have specified that I meant AFTER factory reset update before starting in rebuilding the system....

I'd add to this that first thing you do is to update the system to the latest. Also check that if it's got ZWave you've upgraded the board to the 500 series.

Any control options for Nest thermostat in 2021?
Yeah, I'd like to use the home and away status but even more I'd like to use the motion sensors in the protects....

ISY User Manual for Motion Sensor II (2844-222)
So, why did you go to 5.014? Was going to tell you to make the jump, I did a few weeks ago to 5.016c and got to tell you, it really was painless! As for the rest about documentation, I've been searching as well and what you're finding right here seems to be THE BEST and only documentation I've been able to find.....I've had a couple of the MS2's since they came out and now thinking there are newer versions of what I have, there for sure is newer firmware. I tried the On only settings and seems like things just seem to work better if you do the On and Off, just letting the sensor handle it rather than programming.

I found several devices with that name
One other issue that has popped up recently. From the get go I've always had a group in the Alexa app for "All Lights". As I've added lights and switches to isy control I've also added them to this group. Recently, when giving the command "Alexa, turn off all lights" as she's going down the list turning them off she will announce "That command doesn't work on that device!"..... All the lights go off (or on if issuing the on command) but she just says command doesn't work. I went through deleting and slowly adding devices to the group trying to find the offending device. What I found is it doesn't matter which device, as long as there are nine or less. When I add a tenth device I get that announcement. Thoughts? Anybody else see anything like this?

I found several devices with that name
I have a similar problem with my fanlincs and Alexa. I have 5 (Master bedroom, back bedroom, front bedroom, Living room, Dining room.) the Master bedroom speeds are all named: Master fan High Master fan Medium Master fan Low Master fan off. 99.5% of the time I can say "Alexa, turn on Master fan XXX" and it works fine. Once in a while she'll respond with "I found multiple devices with that name, which one did you want?". You respond with "Master Fan XXX" and it will work. In the Dining room same thing, "Dining Room Fan High" or "Dining room fan Low" work probably 85% of the time. Medium or Off more often responds with the "several devices with that name..." ALL the others, Living Room, Frond and Back bedrooms ALWAYS respond with "Several devices, which one".... All of them have Master Light, Living Room Light, Dining room light, front bedroom light, never question, The kitchen, garage, workbench, bar, entry, front or back porch lights EVER question. ONLY the fans. All of the fans are set up in identical scenes ISY, the portal, and Alexa app. I've tried changing names to Dining Fan, but didn't' change anything. I started with the Master Fan, followed by Dining and Living room. As I remember it was ok when I did those. They went in and the problem started shortly after the V2 upgrade. Thoughts? I'm thinking about adding a spoken like mentioned above, trying "Fan Diningroom" but that sure seems backward sounding.
