MWareman Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Turn ON What Device?? Turn On What Device?? I think this is going to take some tuning Jon... Yeah, getting the same thing... I also cannot seem to get discovery to re-run after editing some spoken elements... Edit: Got the refresh to complete. 181 devices this time (160-something last time)...

ahwman Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Turn ON What Device?? Turn On What Device?? I think this is going to take some tuning Jon... Same thing here. Haven been able to get a device or program to run. What a shame after all of this waiting. I'm certain the good folks here at UDI Will get it sorted out...Yeah, getting the same thing... I also cannot seem to get discovery to re-run after editing some spoken elements...Where are you editing the spoken elements? Edited December 11, 2015 by ahwman Quote
bmercier Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Turn ON What Device?? Turn On What Device?? I think this is going to take some tuning Jon... Hello Jon, That happens when the skill does not receive the device from Alexa. What is the name of the device? I could add this to the list of sample devices; that would help alexa with speech recognition. Also, to facilitate troubleshooting, open the echo app, and in the main section, see what Alexa understood. Benoit. Quote
MWareman Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Does it not recognize spoken words with a space in them? Can't seem to get any to work. Single word spoken elements appear to work very well (and fast!). Great job! Quote

I'm certain the good folks here at UDI Will get it sorted out... Where are you editing the spoken elements? Do you mean that you get the "Turn on which device" prompt? Or is in another error message?

jerlands Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Light Media Hello Jon, That happens when the skill does not receive the device from Alexa. What is the name of the device?

Also, to facilitate troubleshooting, open the echo app, and in the main section, see what Alexa understood. Benoit. We can get a list going Light Media Room Light Foyer Light Downstairs Bathroom I haven't tried many yet 'cause in the middle of a few things.. Jon.. Quote
ahwman Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Do you mean that you get the "Turn on which device" prompt? Or is in another error message? Benoit. Yes, I keep getting the "Turn on which device" prompt. Quote

Alexa heard: "ask izzy to turn on media room" Alexa heard: "ask izzy to turn on light media room" Seems the command was understood but possibly didn't discover it properly. Edit: The skill discovered over 100 devices so I think it got them all... I don't know how many I have Jon... Edited December 11, 2015 by jerlands Quote
bmercier Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Yes, I keep getting the "Turn on which device" prompt. In a previous post, you were asking how you could edit the spoken field. Please try this: In the admin console, pick a device, right-click, Notes You will get a popup with 3 fields, one of them is labeled "spoken". Enter a device name of your choosing that you will speak to refer to this device. Let's try "kitchen". Then, say "Alexa, tell izzy to refresh devices" That will bring up your devices + those spoken customizations along. Then try "Alexa, tell izzy to turn on kitchen" Benoit. Quote
MustangChris04 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Just purchased the portal today thinking that I could start using this, but I can't get it to work. 229 devices discovered. ISY understands it correctly as "tell izzyy to turn on patio light". But It continues to say "I could not find device Patio. Turn on which device?" Alexa is too retarded to understand anything after the space. Quote

Filling in spoken has worked for hallway and foyer but not media room. Jon... Quote

MustangChris04 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Do you still have problem with let's say "media room" now that the discovery has run? Benoit. It's not going to understand any device that has a space in it. Out of my 229 devices, only 3 of them have no spaces in the name (just a single word). These are the only 3 that work. Quote
jerlands Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I changed spoken text from media room to just media and refreshed but still didn't recognize. Jon... Quote
jerlands Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Do you still have problem with let's say "media room" now that the discovery has run? Benoit. Media seems to be a problem.. got Foyer and Hallway by filling in spoken and refreshed... Jon... Quote

All my devices have more than one word in the name Light Media Room, Light Foyer, Light Downstairs Hallway etc., I've changed the spoken phrase in notes for these devices and Foyer now works.. Hallway works.. buy no Media... Jon... Edited December 11, 2015 by jerlands Quote
bmercier Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Does it not recognize spoken words with a space in them? Can't seem to get any to work. Single word spoken elements appear to work very well (and fast!). Great job! It should work with multiple words. But the longer they are, the more likely Alexa is to not understand it. There needs to be an exact match with what Alexa understands, and the spoken word (or device name if no spoken field is found) Examples: "kitchen lights" and "kitchen light" are 2 different things. Another example: When trying to lock the front door, alexa may hear "from door". Benoit. Quote

I followed your directions to the letter and even used "kitchen" as the spoken term for a device to test. After saying "Alexa, tell Izzy to turn on kitchen", I get "Sorry, I couldn't find a device named kitchen in chuck's profile"... Disregard, it now seems to be working...

I'm checking the Alexa app and the Echo is recognizing what I am saying with 100% accuracy and the device names in question that I am trying to control match exactly what they are named in the ISY, yet the Echo keeps repeating back "I could not find device {DEVICE_FIRST_WORD}. Turn on which device?" Quote

Alexa is too retarded to understand anything after the space. With so many reports of problems with device names with spaces in it, there must be a problem. Can you PM me your uuid along with a device you have tested but did not work? I need the device address and name. I will check the logs and the spoken table coming from the refresh devices. Benoit.

I'm also having an issue with names with spaces not being recognized even though Alexa heard me properly. It was working when set to "Kitchen", however changing it to "Spot Lights" fails... Quote
tandar Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Mixed results here. Turn on "kitchen" works. Turn on "table" doesn't despite the fact that Alexa heard the correct thing each time. Does ISY need a refresh when changing spoken words? I'm already telling Alexa to refresh izzy after a change Edited December 11, 2015 by tandar Quote

gregf Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I have a device named mantle. In the card it says Alexa heard: "tell izzy to turn off mantle" but I get the Turn of which device? I have mantle in the spoken field. uuid PM'd if it helps. Quote
