HGupta Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 How can I get Alexa to turn on an Elk M1 output? I have driveway gates that are connected to my Elk M1 on an output, but I can't figure out how to set up an Alexa routine to turn that Elk M1 output.

HGupta Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 yes, I have the Elk module, and I already have the ISY portal set up so that Alexa is announcing when a zone is not secure, but I don't see how to make outputs visible to Alexa.

Unfortunately I have not done this at all so I am just speculating to help. Have you tried triggering the Virtual Outputs? Edit: Another idea is to maybe use variables and ISY/Elk programming based on the Virtual Elk Output? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatar Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 The way that i do it is to add the outputs to control to a program. Add the ON to the THEN section and the OFF to the ELSE. Then in the PORTAL add the program. You should be able to say Open and Close when it's done. I have it this way for my window blinds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! This is helpful. I have never written a program in ISY. What do you use as your If statement?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatar Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Nothing needed. You can just leave it blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
