Does using echo mean losing easy to use mobile app access?

[Jberglie]

So I'm setup successfully with echo/ my list, but I miss the easy to use interface of the mobile accessible control of mobilinc. Sure, I can login to my.isy.io, but my wife needs a easy to use and understand app to access the house. Is there any solution since integrating Alexa has in turn cancelled my mobilinc access?

Welcome to the forum!!

 

 

You don't say what platform you want it for. I assume this is for an iOS device.

You have several options, and your mobile platform plays a part....

 

You can configure Mobilinc to communicate directly to the ISY - and that does not change with any Portal choice. So, configure your Wife's phone to do this, and Alexa away.....

 

You can also configure Mobilinc to communicate with the ISY Portal service, though you'll need two profiles in Mobilinc. It's a little fussy, because Mobilinc does not natively support ISY Portal, but it works.

 

If on Android, you can switch from Mobilinc to Agave, which has full support for ISY Portal. Easily the cleanest option.

 

You could accept the limitation of a Mobilinc Connect subscription, which has limited Alexa integration (via a skill rather than a connected home integration)

Thank you! This is for Android, so I'll play with agave, ask didn't want the limitations of mobilinc/Alexa integration. Thanks for responding
