jerlands Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I've had the router for three years. No problems previously. I have several port forwardings set up, including my Echo/Sonos integration on port 5005, which is why I thought there may be a conflict. What port does the ISY talk through? Nothing obvious in the logs. It looks like when the router went out it was a dns issue, so maybe I'm just being paranoid. If you didn't have issues with the router prior to installing the portal you open a ticket with UDI tech support and see if they can help Jon...
pwaara Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Got it! It was the My Preferred ISY setting under My Profile in the ISY Portal. I must not have saved it when I linked the ISY during the original setup. I selected my ISY from the drop down, saved the settings, and everything was found during the next device discovery. It was actually the help text in the My Profile dialog that clued me in to set and save that setting. Go figure. Thanks to everyone for your help. Now it's time to play.
MWareman Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Glad to hear you figured it out! Another step to add to the troubleshooting list...
RichTJ99 Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Is there a way to skip the "use izzy" command to get Echo working with the ISY? It works perfectly but it goes: 1. Alexa 2. Use Izzy 3. Echo says blah blah blah 4. Alexa 5. Turn kitchen lights off Is there a way to just enable it so if i say turn kitchen lights off it will just do it?

Configure for Connected Home and you can simply say Alexa kitchen lights off. Jon...
RichTJ99 Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Thank you! That is perfect - Are there any words we cant use? I found that goodnight doesnt work.
hurnik Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 KeithL: Awesome writeup. WAY better than the WIKI. Tore my hair out trying to get stuff to work. The WIKI is missing quite a few steps. Your article was spot on with reality. Great job!!!!
apache5 Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Is there a way for me to remove the Mobilinc portal so that I can install the Amazon Echo? The Universal Device office is closed and I hate to have to wait all weekend until Monday to get this done.

apache5 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Thank you so much for your wonderful instructions! I was able to connect over 70 devices which are all controlled by voice through Echo. I don't think I could have done it without YOUR step by step instructions. I can't thank you enough. 1
Grayson Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Hi, I am having trouble with the Echo discovering my devices. I have followed all the steps and I have added 1 device and 1 scene to my.iso.io portal. They show up in the Spoken Nodes & scene box, but when I go to the Discover Devices feature in the Echo nothing is discovered. Any suggestions? PS: Does the Moblinc Connect need to be deactivate for the device discovery to work? Edited March 17, 2016 by Grayson
Michel Kohanim Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Hi Grayson,Please close all your browsers. Once done:1. Make sure your Echo account is linked to your ISY Portal account (My Profile at the top)2. Make sure you do the following:- Login to the Echo app- Click on this link With kind regards, Michel
Grayson Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Now that I have the basic functions for the Echo working....devices & scenes on/off I'd like to know if anyone has gotten the following to work? - Open/Close garage doors - The issue I have here is that with the IOLinc I have the garage doors only open/close when the Relay switch is in the off position. So after opening/closing the door the relay is "On" and I need to "Turn it off" before I can open/close the door. This is easily solved with a program, but if I understand the way the Echo processes programs "On" runs the If statement and "Off" runs the Else. Has anyone gotten this to work? - Can you ask Alexa the status of a device? I'd like to know the status of a light on another floor by asking Alexa. Thanks! Edited March 17, 2016 by Grayson
Michel Kohanim Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Hi Grayson, With regards to device status, you must use the Skill (ask izzy to). With kind regards, Michel

You need to tell Alexa to ask Izzy to run a program if you want to execute the If.
Guitartexan01 Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) I'm a bit late to the party but wanted to share my experience migrating through the isy portal to Echo. I followed the step-by-step Keith posted as well as referring to the Wiki. I showed being linked to my Amazon account and thought I had everything done, but Alexa wouldn't discover. Michel showed me that I might have to back out and re-link and sure enough, she discovered every device on a subsequent try. The spoken took some testing and mods to get right, but we have experienced a 99.5% success rate with spoken since testing and mods. The WAF is extremely high right now and I have achieved go ahead for further expenditures on the HA path. (Or Yellow Brick Road, as she used to call it) I can report that in my 2800 sq. ft. Home and with Echo sitting on the kitchen island, I can be in the upstairs hallway and ask Alexa to turn on that hallway light, and she hears and acts. The light is on before I've finished saying hallway. Granted with the house quiet, which is fairly normal for around here. I am 100% Zwave, so I shall next integrate a few Insteon items simply because I cannot source an equivalent Zwave device. After that, if successful, I will pursue energy monitoring. This success is 100% due to the professional and steady development of ISY and The Portal by UDI and specifically Michel Kohanim and his band of mad engineers. Bravo and well done gentlemen! We wish you much continuing success and for isy to soon be #1 in the HA market. GT Edited March 31, 2016 by Guitartexan01 3
Jonstoloyu Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Hello Keith Thanks for sharing! Im new on this so I if you please help me out if this is the right module I need to buy https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002IKKF0A/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1463808264&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=monster+power+net+300 or any special suggestions And do you recomend this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MDVW7HS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1463779503&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=isy994i&dpPl=1&dpID=41e-kY6bZ7L&ref=plSrch Thanks!
Michel Kohanim Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Hi Jonstoloyu, It all depends on what type of devices you have. For sure the first link is not correct. With kind regards, Michel
Jonstoloyu Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Hi Michael Thanks for you quick response, so far I have Philips Hue, Samsung SmartThings hub and a Pioneer Elite Reciver SC-87, and Amazon Echo, my first project that I try to achieve is voice control from Alexa to reciver, could you please be so kind and recomend me a proper device? Thanks again for your help! J
Michel Kohanim Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Hi Jonstoloyu, Echo should work with your SmartThings. Unfortunately ISY does not natively support Philips Hue. If you ever decide to use Z-Wave, INSTEON, or X10 devices, then ISY will be able to also control or Pioneer Receiver. Otherwise, I do not think ISY is the right product for you. With kind regards, Michel
Jonstoloyu Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Hi Michel: Im not worry about Philips Hue, i found a complete guide in this forum on how to control the reciver with Echo, so thats my first project, then I will add trrmostates and other devices, so could you recomend me the right module? Thanks in advance! J 1
Michel Kohanim Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Hi Jonstoloyu, Got it. I would start with the cheapest model (ISY994i). This said, once you get the unit, please do let us know so that we can install the firmware that does NOT require the PLM. In addition, you will need ISY Portal which does come with the Network Module (allows you to communicate with the receiver). Once you have both, you can use Echo to control your receiver through programs. With kind regards, Michel
MWoods329 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Everything runs smoothly until I get to the device discovery section. The Echo cannot find my ISY. The only strange behaviour I have observed is in the ISY Portal (which does currently show my Echo as linked), when I navigate to the page that shows "Spoken Nodes and Scenes", I immediately get a popup stating "DataTables warning: table id=spokennodestable - Requested unknown parameter 'category' for row 0. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/4". I went to the site referenced but wasn't able to determine what was wrong or how to fix anything.
