Fantastic project! I have a similar set up with two ponds, a waterfall feeding the upper pond, and a stream connecting the ponds. I've got it set up so that the upper waterfall runs when a motion sensor (MSII which I've had all kinds of trouble with) detects someone. The programs for that set a state variable when motion is detected, the next program disables the first, runs the pump for 10 minutes, then enables the first program. The pump for that waterfall uses lots of watts which is why I have it set up that way. I really like the stainless steel float sensors you have in your system. Could you give the source for those?

I'm up and running with polisy but I have to say it took some fiddling. Here's what worked for me in case it's helpful. First the device booted up as expected with the proper sequence according to the directions. My router assigned an address and identified the device as polisy. I cleared my java cache and then tried to connect with https://polisy. This did not work on Edge, IE, or Chrome. Tried the DCHP address. No joy on Edge or IE. On chrome, the device refused connection. I noticed that my ISY was on 5.015 and downloaded and installed 5.016B. Reset the polisy. Same result. Reset it again...and tried the browsers. Was about to give up when Chrome finally worked but with the expected warning. I was able to login, set the password etc. and install nodeservers. Appeared to be working fine. Established a static address for it in my router. Made it a 'favorite' on Chrome. Logged out and was able to log back in successfully even after rebooting the PC. Still couldn't get it to come up Edge, IE. It doesn't show up as a device on the network (I have only one) but Windows 10 is screwy about this. The ISY shows up sometimes and sometimes not. Tried Windows button +R with the static address...bingo it comes up in Edge. I'm happy its working but will have to leave it to others to explain the behavior. UDI is a great company and I'm happy to support them...always responsive and the ISY is an extraordinarily useful, stable device that I've had for years.

My observations in trying this out: As noted light or lights in a device name is problematic. Two words work sometimes (living room for example) but one word works more reliably. I have not been able to get any three word names to work. Voice training definitely helped with recognition. Sometimes the skill appears to stop recognizing a previously recognized device. When I then ask alexa to open izzy, it can then recognize the device again.

Actually, I have the ISY 99 PRO. Exam of my file structure is similar to what is described in this post: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1951&hilit=isy+shell+commands with all of the devices duplicated in 3 different my lighting top scenes. I do have backups. Your advice and help would be much appreciated.

What would prevent me from adding scenes? Everything else appears to be working correctly--I can add devices, query their status, control them, control scenes, programs are working--but I cannot add a scene. The last time I did this some months ago this was not a problem. Just upgraded firmware. Prior to that I was on 3.6.
