GreyFox Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I have two houses that are hundreds of miles apart. Each house has an isy 994i, and each house has multiple echos and dots. I have just registered the second isy. I only have a single Amazon account with which the echos/dots are registered. My question is whether or not I need to change this to having multiple Amazon accounts in order to differentiate which isy that I am attempting to manage with the echos/dots. What do I need to do? Thanks. Link to comment

fryfrog Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 So the wiki link you provided ends up with 2 homes, each with their own ISY and echo devices... all being controlled together. So for example, you need to differentiate between house1's kitchen lights and house2's kitchen lights.How do you have 2 houses, each with their own isy and echos... that are independent? Or mostly independent? I *think* you'll need two amazon accounts. And you'll need to put each ISY on its own sub-account in the portal. With ISYs all in sub-accounts, can you still use the main account to create commands that work on both? For example, if I'm in house1 I'd like to be able to change house2's temperature but I don't really care about being able to turn on any of the lights. Link to comment
stusviews Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I don't believe that you can create a "degree" of separation, the devices are either completely independent or they are not. BTW, having access to the lights doesn't mean that you must use that access. Link to comment
fryfrog Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I guess totally separate is better than totally mixed Mainly, I just want to say "turn on the kitchen lights" and have it turn the kitchen lights on for the house I'm in. I don't want to have to say "turn on the house1 kitchen lights" Link to comment
stusviews Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 You can do that by giving each kitchen light a unique name. Or if you set up two accounts on one Echo account (not two portal accounts), then you can decide which one is active at any time from either location.
