Why Does Echo Say Security Not Responding?

Featured Replies

Posted

I have the following two programs that turn on cameras and notifications from door sensors. When I try to include the first program the portal setup for Alexa it is recognized as a Scene. Second, when I tell Alexa to turn Security on, I get the message "Security is not responding". What am I doing wrong? My understanding is that an On command should result in Then running and an Off command should result in Else running.

 

Security - [iD 0011][Parent 001C]

 
If
        Status  'KPLs / Kitchen KPL / Kitchen KPL D (Security)' is 100%
     Or Status  'KPLs / Deck KPL / Deck KPL D (Security)' is 100%
 
Then
        Wait  2 minutes 
        Set 'Cameras / Kitchen Camera (On-Off)' On
        Set 'Cameras / Front Camera (On-Off)' On
        Wait  3 minutes 
        Enable Program 'Security (Disabled)'
 
Else
        Disable Program 'Security (Disabled)'
        Set 'Cameras / Front Camera (On-Off)' Off
        Wait  2 seconds
        Set 'Cameras / Kitchen Camera (On-Off)' Off
 
Security (Disabled) - [iD 0012][Parent 001C][Not Enabled]
 
If
        Control 'Sensors (Door) / Front Door Sensor / Front Door Sensor-Opened' is switched On
     Or Control 'Sensors (Door) / Deck Door Sensor' is switched On
     Or Control 'Sensors (Door) / Garage Side Door Sensor' is switched On
     Or Control 'Sensors (Door) / Kitchen Door Sensor' is switched On
     Or Control 'Sensors (Door) / Man Cave Door Sensor' is switched On
 
Then
        Send Notification to 'Donnie Wheeler' content 'Chesapeake Door Open'
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I solved this. There was nothing wrong with the programs or their execution. I had not asked Alexa to discover new devices after adding this program. Please be patient with me. I am learning something new.
