New echo installation… working on integrating with ISY.

 

Problem: Echo doesn’t know anything about my devices.

She responds… (for example) “Cannot find device DEN… turn off which device?”

 

ISY seems to be talking to portal (admin console shows online, registered)… plus, I can control my ISY via the portal…. So they are talking.

 

ISY portal is linked to Amazon account.

 

I assigned [simple] spoken words to all of my devices in the ISY admin console.

From ISY portal, I can select tool, connectivity, Amazon echo.

Box pops up.  Click refresh… and I see the main window displaying

Retrieving: /api/voice/spoken/nodes

 

At this point… I’m thinking that it should be populating the spoken word info in the table.  (it’s not).

No errors… just no info.

 

If I add the device manually… Echo works.

 

What am I missing?

 

ISY firmware v 4.5.1 (latest released)

JAVA 8  v101  (latest released)

I found the spoken in Admin Console was a complete dud, not functioning

 

Run this instead

Then use "alexa. Discover"

Hello pkopp,

 

The spoken field in ISY is not used by ISY Portal. Please do be kind enough to follow the instructions here:

With kind regards,

Thx! all for the responses.  I did end up simply configuring all the devices in the portal manually.

 

Michael... you may want to review that video at the bottom of the Wiki page... that's where I got my original information....

Too bad it's not automated... seems like that's what this is all about...

It is quite ironic that the most automated things take so much manual effort, at first.

Who reads the manual though?

Hello pkopp,

 

Thank you. It has been removed.
