Dracarys Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 List looks really good. I'd like to also control the above and under cabinet lighting, If I understand correctly, would need to get 'cabinet' added to the device list. Thanks, Ben +1 Not sure how common these are: task (in my kitchen these are upper/lower cabinet lights, with a KPL button labelled "Task") "task lights" "kitchen task lights" hutch / china hutch "china hutch lights" niche / art / art niche "living room niche lights" "art niche lights" "art lights"? path "path lights" "backyard path lights" bed "bed lights" "under bed lights" groove "Tell Izzy to turn the groove on" Quote
MWareman Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Not sure name prefixes should be there, because the list is going to get HUGE! If we are though, let's add: Zoe's bedroom Moms bedroom Dads bedroom Mom and Dad's bedroom Master bedroom Guest bedroom (The missing singular version) (Can you guess what my Daughters name is?) Quote
jdmcpherson Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Would like to add waterfall. Although I can't get Alexa to recognize any device at present. Quote
jerlands Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Would like to add waterfall. Although I can't get Alexa to recognize any device at present. Add to the spoken field in notes a one or two word description for each device you want added (right click device in UI) I've found including words like light or lamp won't work for the spoken field. The skill will be updated in the near future improving the ability to define. Ask Alexa... Alexa, ask Issy to refresh Address Alexa.. Alexa, tell Issy to turn on (your spoken phrase) Jon...

stusviews Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Cannot get Echo (Izzy) to control anything that begins with "computer." None of computer, computer room, computer light, computer lights, nor computer fans works. Alexa hears the word, "computer" but cannot find the device. Quote
jdmcpherson Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 I have proof of concept and see the potential - and like what I see. But, i am having great difficulty in using anything but single word descriptors. For example, "Right Pool Lamp" does not work at all. Was interpreted as "yes"???? Renaming it to "kitchen" and it works fine. Calling it simply pool works fine. It would be helpful to get an updated list of supported device names and whether any pre and post device names will work. Quote
Frostbite Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) I might have missed these if already submitted, but how about North, South, East and West as predevice? I use these words to differentiate switched outlets and/or sets of lights in various rooms. Edit: Adding Air Compressor as a device Edited January 1, 2016 by Frostbite Quote
stusviews Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Left, right, top, bottom, front, rear. The list is endless, so may as well add middle Quote
cyberk Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Why not start with the list that the ELK system uses? It's always been pretty complete for me. http://www.homecontrols.com/homecontrols/products/pdfs/EL-Elk/ELKM1G_Manual.pdf Page 62 and Page 63 Quote
fstanek Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) predevice: all device: first floor second floor third floor I'd like to do something like "turn off all basement lights" or "turn on all first floor lights". I'm actually much more interested in getting the connected home integration than the skill, however. I don't really care too much for "alexa, tell izzy...". I'd much prefer something like "alexa, turn off.." Edited December 30, 2015 by fstanek Quote
stusviews Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) I added two scene names, "dining room light" and "dining room fan. "Alexa, ask Izzy to turn dining room fan on/off" works every time. So does "Alexa, ask Izzy to turn dining room light on." But,in response to "Alexa, ask Izzy to turn dining room off," Alexa responds with, "I could not find device dining room. Turn off which device?" Echo does hear the command correctly. I have not had any success with turning the light off using the Echo, but not because of an ISY communication problem. Alexa can't find the device only when an off command is issued. Edit: I posted in this topic because of the unusual response to device names. Edited January 4, 2016 by stusviews Quote
jerlands Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 It's working better for me but I think we're limited to 3 word naming. I'd like to be able to name "family room fan" and "family room fan light" but only "family room fan" is recognized. Jon... Quote

Stu, Have you tried "Alexa, ask Izzy to turn off dining room" or replace "turn" with "switch"? Quote
stusviews Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I haven't yet played with various names for the dining room devices as I have for the living room and bedroom. And yes, I've tried various requests such as tell and ask Izzy, turn/set/switch, relocating the command (e.g., turn on device/turn device on). Nothing works for switching/turning/setting the dining room light off. Everything works to turn it on. And the fan device has no difficulty with "dining room." Both scenes include a wired SwitchLinc dimmer as a controller. The fan is a 2476D and the light is 2477D. Quote
Capp07 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Is anyone else having this issue? Spoken: Alexa open izzy. Alexa responds as desired Spoken: Alexa tell izzy to turn on kitchen Alexa responds with: which device. The alexa app shows the speech registered by Alexa as : Alexa tell is the turn on. The first izzy is recognized fine and the second fails… Quote
cmccartney Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I have seen that once or twice in the past couple of days. Quote
Capp07 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I have seen that once or twice in the past couple of days. Were you able to remedy or did it resolve on it's own? Quote
cmccartney Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Nether, it still happens most of the time. Quote
mfthorpe Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Hello: I am so glad you are doing this. The only words I have got to work so far are -- Kitchen Porch Dining room Family room (I note you say the single word "kitchen" did not work for you.) I would like to add quite a few single words if this is possible as they arfe easier to remember and good for some scenes - although could always append the word "light". Upstairs Downstairs Mister Hallway Arriving BBQ Fans Evening as well as Spa light Pool light Outside lights Garden lights Garage lights Bedroom Angela's study Mike's study Curtains Drapes Xmas lights Emergency lights Red light Piano light Breakfast light Globe light Table light Perhaps if you have a limited number of words - then names like "Mike" could be omitted. Good luck and look forward to hearing when this is done. Mike Quote
Michel Kohanim Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Hi Mike, Thank you. We do know Echo has problems with light, lights, bedroom. For instance, I had to use "master room" for bedroom. So, what you might want to try (instead of light) is "room". With kind regards, Michel Quote
imagamejunky Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 I have a number of insteon switches with names of rooms in the spoken fields. For example, kitchen. I frequently say, "Alexa tell izzy to turn on kitchen light". She responds with saying the spoken name "kitchen". My point is that you can still refer to a light as a light even though that's not the spoken name. Also, Alexa understands upstairs for me. Junky Quote
bmercier Posted January 8, 2016 Author Posted January 8, 2016 I have a number of insteon switches with names of rooms in the spoken fields. For example, kitchen.

My point is that you can still refer to a light as a light even though that's not the spoken name. Also, Alexa understands upstairs for me. Junky Right. The reason is that Alexa often skips words which are not on the device samples. So in that cases, it only passes "kitchen", and the skill can then make a match with your spoken "kitchen". However, be aware that this is currently being enhanced, and in the next version, light will be recognized. So when this goes live, "kitchen light" will start to work, and the skill will not be able to find that spoken in your list of devices. Benoit. Quote
