Amazon Echo and ISY

donhohn,

 

It appears that you are running the original version of the Emulation system and the Mapper program.

 

Most people have switched from that Emulation program to the one produced by BWS systems  (available at bwssystems.com) and are using my AWS_Configuration program (available at the-gordons.net). 

 

The current BWS systems jar is 0.4.10. I am running 4 instances of JAR 0.4.10 on a raspberry Pi. The HA Bridge emulator handles about 44 devices per instance. The AWS configuration program is built for the BWS Systems emulator and not the original. It is basically a point and click for configuring the BWS Systems emulator as it reads the ISY configuration. This thread is loaded with information pertaining to that set of programs.

 

I am not familiar with the older version of the emulator so I am cannot offer more assistance.

here's what happened when I say "Alexa turn on family room lights" she responds ok, but they do not turn on.

Thank you... I will try this way and see if I can get it working.

See if you can get "Jarvis" as the name.

 

Yes Yes!!! Please!  That would be very nerdy and I'm sure everyone here would appreciate it!   :)

 

Michael, these would be my skill additions if possible.

 

 

 

Close, like in garage door, does work for other things

 

Open (kind of works now)

 

Turn up and down

 

Change

 

Enter and exit

 

Start and stop

 

Music on or off (doubt this can happen)

 

Volume up or down (again, probably not possible)

 

Arm and disarm

 

Stop and start

 

get and put

 

Sprinkler stations or irrigation

 

Panic

 

Record

 

Kill

 

Input

 

Enable and disable

 

Set 

 

Skip, Pause, Select

 

Fast forward, rewind

 

Heat and cool

 

Lock and unlock

I agree on Jarvis. Love it!

 

However, I don't think it's a good idea to allow Alexa to disarm an Elk. Or unlock doors. Just sayin'

I use a password, works well.   Alexa, turn on disarm the house password .........  Would just like to remove the "Turn On" or "Turn Off"

Invocation Name... How 'bout a generic term like "Control" or "System?"

 

 

Jon...

Or (he treckie in me suggests) 'computer'.... :)

What about Jeeves for Jeeves the valet, Jeeves the butler, who's first name is Reginald and other valets call him Reggie.

Hi Guys,

 

Just another update: unfortunately we have to go through re-certification again:

1. Home cannot be used

2. The spoken words chosen for our test were not well understood by Echo

 

As such, we need your help. Would you all please

1. Post back the name of location/devices that you would most likely use with Echo? For instance, Front Door Lock. Or Upstairs Thermostat. Or Bedroom All. Or, in short, whatever you think you would want to call them. We already have a list of about 80 

2. The same for your program names

3. Invocation name. Currently we are thinking of using My Home but I very much doubt it'll fly. And, I.S.Y is too cumbersome. Izzy  is not understood: depending on the accent, Echo might consider it "easy". 

 

With kind regards,

Michel

 

I'm confused as to the structure of the commands that will be used.  Is it.. Alexa, + [invocation Word,] + [Command] ??  e.g., Alexa, "Jarvis," "Kitchen Lights On"  :)

 

 

Jon...

Hello everyone,

 

Thanks so very much for excellent contributions and suggestions.

 

As far as invocation names, Jarvis/HAL have nothing to do with ISY and we might even have to deal with copyright issues. I think we should use either i.s.y or izzy. Thoughts?

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Michel,

 

You mentioned in a previous post that Echo confused izzy with easy.  I would prefer a person's name to i.s.y. (because others in the house won't know won't remember i.s.y. - it has no context to them).  How about Lizzy?  "Alexa tell Lizzy to turn on the kitchen lights."  

 

Someone else mentioned a "Z" or "X" name would work.  There are plenty of those in baby naming books.

Izzy is my #1 choice.

Thank you all.

 

I like Izzy too but we have to make sure it does not get confused with "easy".

 

With kind regards,

Michel

 

The fact that it is preceded by "Tell" should limit the words/names to match against to only the activated skills I would think.

Again, Izzy (male) or Lizzy (Female)  both sound as viable choices. Perhaps Amazon will allow the end user to choose the wake up name from a set of two as it does with Alexa. Perhaps this could be a choice within the skill always starting with Izzy but allowing a command to change the wake up word to either one.

I have just placed a new version of the AWS_Configuration (version 4.0.0) program on my web site (www.the-gordons.net). It is a major revision and handles the Harmony Hub in addition to the ISY. It is configurable as to the inclusion of the Harmony Hub configuration capability, and the default is not to include it. If you do not have the Harmony Hub and are currently running a version of the Configuration system (AWS_CONFIG.com) I suggest you upgrade to version 4.0.0. Version 4.0.0 has changes to the user interface and better code handling.

 

If you are going to use the Configuration system to handle the Harmony hub, then I strongly suggest you read the documentation included in the Install package. You will also need to be running the BWS Systems Restful Harmony application.

 

I personally do not own a Harmony system as the ISY994 handles all my needs for Home Automation and I use Pronto PRO remotes for my theater and the various TV's around the house. The New version has been tested in an ISY994/Harmony Hub environment and appears to be working correctly. This means I can not be of much help in setting up the basic Harmony system with the Restful Harmony application, but there are several people who have posted here that are capable of assisting in that endeavor.
