As title states, I just spent some time adding numerous programs to my ISY portal, which went normally, and when I went to the Alexa Smarthome page to "Discover Devices" in order for them to be ready for use by Alexa, they didn't show up on the "found devices" list. Some new ones showed up all right, but they were somebody else's !  French and English names, about 15 or 18 scenes and programs that are not mine. Plus, the programs that WERE mine, that I just added to the ISY portal, (and still show there, as expected) did NOT show up on my alexa Discovered devices list. All my older stuff was still there.

 

Deleted all the bogus scenes / programs, logged out of ISY portal and Amazon Alexa page. Logged back in and tried again - same thing.

 

WTH??

 

Anybody have any clue what could be going on?  All normal until tonight and this....

 

Thanks

I also have the same thing.. and the same devices coming up.  I rebooted my router tonight and initially blamed it on that, but now looking at these threads clearly something has gone badly wrong.  Help!

Those devices and scenes you posted in the screen grab are some of the same ones I've got showing...

 

Just noticed my devices aren't working either as you stated!!

I have the same exact problem! None of my devices work anymore, and I am seeing devices in french on the list that i do not own. I tried unlinking from the amazon app as well as the isy portal then relinking but that did not fix the problem.

I think its the echo on Smart Home on their "cloud" side.. My thermostats stopped responding through the venstar skill... was wondering if it was ISY Portal, but pretty sure its not

Hmm, I was thinking it was ISY as I see no chatter about it outside of this forum so far.

Sorry. I didn't realize we were so delicate. Retreating to my safe space. Mods feel free to delete . . .
