Ok, is there any workaround for the 5 account limit, or is the answer just that I need to buy additional ISY's and portal subscriptions? Sjenkins, the reason I use a different account for each room is that there is no way to make routines or device spokens other than "lights" specific to the echo device that hears them. For example, I have shades in multiple rooms, and I want to be able to just say "Alexa, shades up", instead of, "alexa, bedroom shades up". If they were all on one account, there would be no way to do that. But using separate accounts for each room, I can define "shades" as a different ISY action item for each room to achieve the above goal.

Is there a limit to how many sub-accounts can be registered on an ISY? I've created 12 sub-accounts in the isy portal to use for echo devices in different rooms, and was able to create all 12 without issue. I was able to register 5 of them in the ISY admin console, but when I try to register additional sub-accounts, I'm getting a "Bad Request" error.

I use both an echo and a google home with the ISY portal. With the echo, I can ask "Is my door locked?" and it will respond. However if I ask "is the kitchen light on?", it says that's unsupported. But for google home, it's the opposite, it will answer questions about lights but not locks. Does anyone know why this is the case? More importantly, it would be great if in a future version of the ISY skill, you could ask echo/home about variables. That way you could create a variable that tracks the states of all your lights and all your locks, and be able to ask "are there any lights on?" or "are all the doors locked?". In the portal there could be an option to mark if a variable is binary, which would translate a 0/1 value to a yes/no response, or non-binary, for use with a variable that stored a numerical value (such as "what is the humidity in the kitchen?")
