Trying to recreate an Alexa routine that "speaks"

[asbril]

Having moved from ISY to IoP, I am trying to recreate a Alexa routine that "speaks"  when a variable is set to 1 in a program. This worked fine with my ISY but I don't seem to get the variable to show up in my Alexa App.

Some time ago someone very friendly gave me the following instructions, that I kept, but I don't remember who. I followed these instructions carefully but, as mentioned, I don't see the 'motion sensor'  in he Alexa App :

Define a STATE variable with a nice name like
$sSayBothGDoorsClosed, Save!
In an ISY program insert lines $sSayBothGDoorsClosed = 1, Wait
30 seconds, $sSayBothGDoorsClosed = 0
In ISY Portal, in define Alexa table, find that variable
$sSayBothGDoorsClosed and define as a Motion detector, make On
from value = 1
Say "Alexa discover" to make it appear in Alexa app.
In Alexa app on a cell phone (Win app does not allow Routine
editing) define a Routine using sSayBothGDoorsClosed as a trigger,
make the output a custom vocal and add "Both garage doors are
closed"
Routines can take a while to be effective on Amazon sometimes.
Also Amazon may block Routine triggers

Has anything changed and are these instructions still good ?

RESOLVED.........  In ISY Portal, Alexa was still set to old ISY instead of to IoP.

@asbril,

In the migration guide, ISY Portal can migrate everything for you including all the Alexa things.

With kind regards,
