"Open/Close" Syntax showing up as "On/Off"

I previously used the Open/Close syntax for my blinds and garage door. I recently had to reset my ISY due to a corrupt SD card and have been rebuilding all of my programs from scratch since I didn't have a good backup.

Whenever I link either a Program or a State Variable to Alexa using the Open/Close syntax, the device is showing up in Alexa's devices as having an "On" and "Off" state. 

Furthermore, issuing either an "Open" or "Close" command simply flips whatever state the "On/Off" is in in Alexa, ignoring the current state. (Ex. I can say "Open the garage door" and if the garage is already "open" (showing 0/false) it will flip from "Off" to "On" and trigger it to close. Repeating the "Open the garage door" then flips it from "On" to "Off" and triggers it to open.)

Has amazon change their API or anything? I also don't remember the icon appearing as a house with waves on it.
