bmercier Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The Amazon ISY Skill version 2 is now live since this afternoon. This change applies only to the skill (There is no change to ISY Connected Home) The biggest change in the skill is a better support for spoken device names. There is still a bug where you cannot have a spoken name outside of the samples provided below. However, there is now much more spoken names you can use. In addition of the device name, you can choose to add one of the predefined prefix, and also a suffix. Those are optional. Here's some valid examples: upper hallway lights left bedroom lamp second floor kitchen overhead bar Prefix you can use: upper lower front side right left rear main master first second third forth fifth small large outdoor exterior interior back upstairs downstairs basement under over all backyard south east west North top down middle all first all second all third all fourth all basement all upper all lower all exterior all interior all front all rear Suffix you can use: light lights lighting lamp lamps track light track lights neon neons spot spots flood floods fan fanlight accent area overhead fans curtains drapes Devices names you can use (They have to be after prefix, and before suffix, if they are used) activate active air compressor air conditioner arriving art art niche attic awning bar barbecue barn bathroom bathroom ceiling bed bedroom beer blanket block heater bonus bonus hall bonus room bonus room hall bookcase box room breakfast breakfast table breezeway butler butler's pantry cabinet cabinets can car port ceiling cellar center chandelier chime chime mode china hutch chrismas tree christmas cinema closet clothes computer computer room conservatory cooler couch deactivate deck decor default de-icer de-icing cable den desk desk room device dining dining room disable dog door door door chime downstairs drive driveway dryer dungeon dvr electric emergency enable engage entertainment entertainment room entrance entry evening exercise room family room fire fireplace fish tank flood floor floor bathroom floor thermostat fountain foyer fridge game room games garage garage door garage front garden generator globe great room grill groove guest hall hallway heat heater high hats holiday hot water tank hutch island island sink kitchen kitchen cabinet kitchen cabinets kitchen counter kitchen desk kitchen island kitchen sink kitchen table kitchen window kitchenette lanai landing landscape laundry laundry room library living living room living room hall locker machine make it so man cave man door mantel master media media room mister motion music room niche nook nursery office orangery outlet panic pantry parlour path patio pendant piano pinball plant shelf playroom pool pool table porch power projector pvr rec room receiver red refrigerator reset restore room rotate sconce screen secure security server shade down shade up shed shop skylight sofa solar spa spare bedroom spare room sprinkler stairs steps stereo studio study study room sump sun room swimming swimming pool table task test theater thermostat toe kick toe kitchen toilet tower tree turn tv upstairs utility utility room vanity video walkway wall wall sconce washer washroom waterfall wine work workshop yard zone one zone two zone three zone four zone five zone six zone seven zone eight zone nine zone ten zone eleven zone twelve guest room guest's room guest bedroom guest's bedroom boy's bedroom girls's bedroom kid's bedroom children's bedroom mom's bedroom dad's bedroom In addition, there is about 2000 bedroom names using the most common first names, in the following syntax: aaron's bedroom abbey's bedroom abbie's bedroom ...

Teken Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Currently I can't take advantage of any of these features and updates with this service. But have to extend my thanks to you and the entire UDI team in pushing so quickly with these new enhancements to the portal service. Well done and bravo! Link to comment
KMan Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Nice job. girls's bedroom Is this a typo? Or does some pronunciation and use actually match that? Link to comment
stusviews Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 If there's more than on girl, than the correct spelling is girls' (no trailing s). The apostrophe is silent Link to comment
bmercier Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 If there's more than on girl, than the correct spelling is girls' (no trailing s). The apostrophe is silent I have also learned it that way. However, I was not fully sure when I did this, so I checked online. Apparently, both are acceptable. Then, I made tests with Alexa, and testing shows that 's is always added, like in "chris's bedroom" The list was built that way so it can match what alexa is sendint to the skill. Benoit.

MarioLanning Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 In our ISY, where we put in the spoken words, it would make life simple for us if instead of a free text box you converted it to a prefix and device name drop-down for us to select from. This way we don't have to keep coming here to see what words and order we have to place them in for it to work. Just a sugestion. Link to comment

breischaft Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Does it update automatically or is there something we need to do? Thanks for great compatibility Link to comment
stusviews Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 The skill lives at Amazon. You only need to let your Echo know that you want to use the skill. If you've already done that, then you're updated. Link to comment
stusviews Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Izzy cannot find zone one nor zone two as a spoken thermostat name. Izzy can find zone 1 and zone 2. Edit: still very inconsistent even using identical commands, sometimes zone 1 is recognized, sometimes not. Izzy can report the status of zone 2, but can't find zone 2 to change any setting.

Michel Kohanim Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hi stusviews, Yes indeed and Amazon is aware of these inconsistencies. The only reason we went with v2 was because they are working on fixes which might take a few weeks and recommended using three slots. Have you taken a look at the spoken word list and utterances here? http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Portal_Amazon_Echo_Integration#Instructions_for_Alexa_Skill With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
