Jbernstein Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 As of this morning, Alexa seems unable to connect to any of my Insteon scenes. I had thought that by moving to an ISY994i, I'd get around Insteon's awful hub issues, but that appears not to be the case. Anyone have a workaround yet? EDIT: Y'all, I'm dumb. It was an unrelated Echo problem. I assumed it was related to today's Insteon shenanigans, but indeed it was not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumbershoot Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Mine are working as normal, but I've never had an Insteon hub involved in my setup in any way whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlon Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 No issues here today. Have you've programmed your 'spokens' in your Portal? I assume you've linked your Alexa app with 'ISY Optimized for Smarthome V3'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbuss Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 All working as expected here also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you have things set up. What process did you use. Saying it doesn't work doesn't provide any information for us to use to help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genenaples Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 My insteon hub is down, no connection, insteon community forums are down, does anyone else have issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbernstein Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Scratch this. I had an unrelated Echo problem that I simply assumed was related to the Insteon outage today. Integration via the Alexa app seems perfectly functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genenaples Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Alexa integration is down as well, as of 10pm last night EST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer exist. Nothing we can do here for hub users. Your only recourse would be to purchase a polisy and the insteon USB stick 2448a7 (easily found on Amazon/eBay). If you happen to have an instructor 2413s or 2413u you can use that with polisy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @Geddyshould put the banner up letting hub users know insteon has shut down and we are unable to provide support for them. I've seen a couple of posts from hub users already. would be nice to add a note with the plms that work with Polisy and link to buy polisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to add here... for anyone using a 2245 Insteon HUB that hasn't yet factory reset it... DO NOT FACTORY RESET IT. There's a reddit thread that indicates users can migrate to Home Assistant. I don't know alot about it yet, but I will... my son's house is effected. I order an rPi this morning to try what's been suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears 2245 hub users can migrate to Home Assistant using that hub, but I haven't done it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Smarthome section would work but i figured a banner would stand out more and get their attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they've actually shut down in fact, that would be good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBill Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I started a 2245 cloud server shut down thread in the Smarthome section... lets try to keep all 2245 cloud shut down discussion there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
