I tried that multiple times under Alexa plus and it didn’t work. Why reverted back to standard everything was fine.. I’m glad it worked for you.

As I’m sure some people have seen on the thread about the Alexis skill for ISY and some issues people are having, I had a long conversation with Amazon and they confirmed that the Alexa+ does not play well with some of the third-party skills. Especially with home automation. I had a few lights that were not responding to Alexa commands and also I have the Harmony hub app and that stopped working as well After talking with them, I had customer service. Take me off Alexa.+ and bring it back to the regular Alexa. As soon as that happened, everything started working normally again. If anyone looks at the other thread, I copied what they said in their text and posted it there.

I have some new information after talking to Amazon customer support. They said there are many issues using Alexa plus with the ISY. The best way to recover is to go back to standard and you have to get on customer service to ask them to remove Alexa, plus. See attached pictures

I’m also getting this as well. I’m not sure how to address it and whether it’s a Alexa problem or a portal problem. I didn’t notice while using the Alexa app. If I clicked on that particular device that’s giving me an issue at the top. It says that it has a server error.

Anyone????

Well, I’ve had all the connections checked and all the grounds checked to make sure that they are tight and I’m still seeing communication issues. One of the things I’m considering is to bring in an electrician to put in some sort of whole house noise filter at the main panel. I figured I’d ask out here if anyone has had this done and wound up with success in clearing up communication issues with Insteon

Bigdvette I did in fact replace my POM with a brand new one. I did move the plm to different outlets to see if that effected coms and it seems it may a bit. my real question is since Tesla came out, do you see that your communication and queries are better or the same. I will tell you that all of my switches, including my PLM or dual.Band. I feel I am kind of willing to live with a bit of flickering that I get currently but it’s extremely important to make sure that my communication between EISY and my switches are as good as possible. any insight or comments to this would be appreciated

Interesting info. Since my flicker is a min, I’m more concerned about the comm errors. I took the liberty of using a long extension cord to plug it in to a further AC plug near the other side of the house to see if that helped to resolve some of the common errors. It did seem to make an effect and I’m still judging it. It would be good, however to still figure out why when I shut down the power walls and disconnect them from the house all of my other problems go away. Do you have any opinions on this?

@bigDvette I kind of agree and I look forward to hearing what Tesla says when they finally come out to investigate. While the flickering is a little annoying INSTEON, my bigger problem, I believe is communication errors through EISY. I haven’t tried moving my PLM around using extension cords to see if it changes if I put it on a different socket. I truly wish I could address the errors and communication inquiries, which is causing me more concern than the flickering. Any suggestions you or anyone else has to increase? Reliability of communications would be greatly appreciated.

Cooltoys first of all, let me thank you for the large write up and you went over a lot of information. My question is regarding Insteon communications. Putting in the whole house filter and surge protector help with communicationsinsteon? Did you find that communication and queries improved?

Many have seem issues after installing Tesla powerwall 3. Was trying to figure out how to get these issues go away. I suggest you look at this link and see if you could add any additional information regarding this and share it with the rest of us. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/44344-issues-after-installing-tesla-powerwall-3/

Typically, when using EISY and I’m replacing an Insta device, I could just do a replacement and not have to reprogram everything. I would like to replace my 6 key keypad with the four key I three. Only using four of the buttons on the six key keypad. One of the things I love about EISY is that is easy to replace a switch without having to go back in and change all the programs. while I know it doesn’t look like a direct replacement. Is there any way to do this easily using EISY?

What issues did you have and what did you think it helped with?

Fwiw someone said these don’t flicker https://inovelli.com/products/z-wave-800-red-series-smart-2-1-on-off-dimmer-switch?variant=41767605534885 again I’ll ask what could help comm issues
