5.8.3 seemed to fix it. My routines are now working with Alexa again. We'll see if it is permanent or not. If it reoccurs, I'll post the issue. But, for now, all is good.

Hadn't checked my Polisy in awhile. Log has no entries since the end of April. Did a Polisy update and reboot but nothing changed. 2.2.13 with ISY 5.3.0. Thoughts?

I think I know the answer but would like to verify it. There are no lights on the front of my Polisy. The ethernet interface does blink however, so I assume that means my power supply is working but the Polisy doesn't boot. Is this just dead or is there some way to power on that I'm not aware of? There was a brief power outage last night (2 seconds or so), but the problem may predate that.

Thanks for the reply. When you say "In the ISY Portal you have to specify what analogue value is considered an MS 'On' for the Alexa app" I assume you mean specify the corresponding integer value in the "Motion Detected Value" box in the Portal. I did do that. There are four variables set up 1,2,3,4 which generated four motion sensors in Alexa each of which has their own triggered routine tied to it that work fine. Yes, they are state variables. Should have used that convention.

I tried to set up a motion detector driven device with different integer values for various messages and then set up corresponding entries in the portal and routines to trigger off motion detected. It seems to work intermittently. The Alexa routines play fine. Here is the code that I use to just test the function: $AlexaSpeaks = 1 Wait 10 seconds $AlexaSpeaks = 0 Wait 10 seconds $AlexaSpeaks = 4 Wait 10 seconds $AlexaSpeaks = 0 Wait 10 seconds $AlexaSpeaks = 2 Wait 10 seconds $AlexaSpeaks = 0 Wait 10 seconds $AlexaSpeaks = 3 Wait 10 seconds On the other hand if I set up discrete state variables and tie routines to them to say messages they work just fine with the following code: $Say_AllDone = 1 $Say_ProgramStarted = 1 $Say_Started = 1 $Say_Working = 1 Wait 30 seconds $Say_AllDone = 0 $Say_ProgramStarted = 0 $Say_Started = 0 $Say_Working = 0 Do you have to do anything special for the motion sensor approach to work.
