Amazon Alexa to ISY Portal Connection -- is there problem (06-2-2017)


Recommended Posts

Tonight we came home and Alexa reports all ISY devices as "not responding".   I can login into the ISY Portal and refresh devices and all looks ok.   From the ISY I can control everything. I did the forget and discover and got no devices twice but they all came in the third time, but Alexa still reports them all not responding.

I asked Alexa what her status was and she did not understand how to respond to that so I provided feedback -- it would be nice if she could report service problems if she is working enough to respond at all.

 

Ok, now I'm calling a computer 'she' -- we are being assimilated.

I can confirm the same problem from Vermont.

FYI from Amazon :

"8:48 PM PDT We have identified issues in AWS Lambda's capacity subsystem related to the increased API error rates and latencies in the US-EAST-1 Region and continue to work toward resolution."

 

With kind regards,

My Alexa "smart home skills" did not list the ISY.

I added the "ISY Optimized for SmartHome v2".

I told it to forget my devices, and them re-discover them.

It found nothing...

 

Arrgh...

 

After hitting discover a bunch of times, everything has finally come back.

 

However "turn on desk lights" will result in "desk lights is not responding".

Come on - let there be light.

Good to know. My daughter was pretty stressed out last night because all our FireTVs lost their connection to Amazon and stopped working for a bit. Other devices on the network were fine, so I assumed it was AWS related.

 

Now I have a ton of stuff at work to check... Since we use Lamda for a ton of stuff... :P

Interesting. Looking at my AWS dashboard, it seems that AWS retried and processed the queue. So, I likely didn't miss any notifications generated.

 

Given that Alexa apparently uses this subsystem, I wonder if anyone had Alexa commands process hours after the instruction was issued...

Good question.

 

I looked at the logs, searching specifically for device discovery requests. Those are sent every hour or so for every ISY.

 

I can see erratic request for about 5 hours, and definitely 2 major drops in that period. I don't see spikes after it recovered.

 

It may be that device discoveries were blocked before hitting our lambda function.
