J_Barrett Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 Hi I notice the same problem on 11-8-18. I had just up graded to 5.014 and figured the thermostats did not work in the alexa app any more due the 5.014 upgrade Jim Barrett

This was NOT due to this morning's update. It's something that Amazon changed recently. I reviewed the API, and by trial and error, I was able to figure out the problem. Technically, I expose the PowerController controller for thermostats, which allows to say Alexa, turn off <thermostat>, which sets the mode to off. When returning the thermostat state, we need to return the power state on/off, which previously was not a requirement. Benoit 1
cvanhoose Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Now it works. Thank you for the quick support much appreciated. Edited November 25, 2018 by cvanhoose

Benoit Yesterday, I decided to try my recorded (1Password) account number one more time with Amazon. To my surprise, the password was accepted. Moreover, when I completed forget/discover all devices were recognized. Then, without having to enable/disable as you email directed, my spokens were accepted by my Echo's. Did you do anything in the background regarding my situation? If not, this is just another bizarre moment in my Alexa experience. Now, as soon as I get the time, I need to address my second portal account, Wolf Creek.
starmanj Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Hi Benoit- Wondering if you backed out the recent update? The portal doesn't show "My profile", just "My account". When I click on user, it only shows "preferred ISY", not "all ISYs". Spearse Edited November 27, 2018 by starmanj
starmanj Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 FYI yes Amazon seems to have screwed up a lot of accounts-- I had to put an older password in to login. Amazon bug.
starmanj Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 One last thing-- under "google home", click "send spokens to google home", I get this error: Error sending your spokens. Google home API returned: PERMISSION_DENIED The caller does not have permission

It doesn't seem to make any difference to operation.Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

You should see "My Account" besides "ISY" and "Users". You should see "My profile" at the top right of the screen. The new option is shown only in My Profile. Benoit

starmanj Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 D'oh. There it is! Never even noticed "My Profile" in upper right. Why not merge that into "My Account"? Anyway I updated and am super stoked to seamlessly use my ISY's!
starmanj Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 Also your suggestion to link/unlink Google Home worked! Spokens were successfully sent to Google home.

As I have mentioned before, another method to send Spokens to GH is with "OK Google synch my devices". You may get a little pause but then GH confirms the synchronization.

bmercier Posted November 29, 2018 Author Posted November 29, 2018 You don't lose the "Home". But you do lose the room assignments, unfortunately. Benoit
Jimbo.Automates Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Ok, thanks, that's a big bummer. I'll just stick with asking it to sync.Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk

MWareman Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 You don't lose the "Home". But you do lose the room assignments, unfortunately. Benoit It’s been a little bit since I did a unlink/relink - but I’m fairly sure that since I have rooms set in ISY Portal the rooms got allocated correctly in Google Home when I relinked. Was that a fluke?

Was that a fluke? The API used to sync devices has a field for the room, and that field is set with the room configured in ISY Portal. When GH integration was initially implemented, I tested it and it did not work. This, and other documented features, were not working. I think they were planned, but not yet implemented on Google's side. It may very well have been implemented since then. This would need to be retested. Benoit 1

MWareman Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 I will say, while not delinking yet I did just add a few devices and assign a room (in the ISY Portal) and spoken. I synced to Google Home (this worked flawlessly since I’ve changed from sending scenes to devices) and lo and behold the new devices showed in the Google Home app as being in their correct rooms. So, somewhat confirmed.... 1 1
Tim McDermott Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Benoit, I'm not sure it will be if any help, but I believe I WAS having the same problem with my thermostat for about a week, but seems resolved now that I check it again.
barrygordon Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Something strange has started happening. The office ceiling lights have an entry in my ISY portal as "office lights" . When I request Alexa to turn these lights on or off Alexa states that there is more than one entry for "office lights". There isn't. I first noticed this on 11/30, but I don't reference the office lights daily, only occasionally. I have not changed anything at all in several months. All other rooms lights work correctly, in fact, all of my spoken commands in the ISY portal work fine with the exception of "office lights". Alexa suggests I forget all and rediscover. Before I do that i am wondering if anybody else has noticed a problem such as this or something similar.
