I have a handful of those Eightree/Teckin/whatever their name is this week round smart plugs you can buy on Amazon.

I can control them through Alexa voice control but I'd love to control them with my Insteon mini remote.

I have the EISY and was wondering if thats now possible?

Simplest way is to create STATE variables with meaningful names.
Then use ISY Portal to emulate MS devices from each one with 1 value = On , 0 value = Off.
Now use Alexa app to create Alaxa Routines using those pseudoMS elements as triggers to do whatever you want Alexa to do.

After I defined a group of dedicated STATE variable I created an ISY program that is triggered by any STATE variable becoming a non-zero value and WAIT 10 seconds and then set the whole group of STATE variable back to 0 again. This saves many programs, one for each STATE variable by just writing one program for all.

To use:
Set $sAlexa.do.whatever to 1

Reset sSay variables - [ID 006F][Parent 0002][Run At Startup]

If
        
        // [Run at Startup] enabled
 
        $sSay.motionOutsideDoor is not 0
     Or $sSay.occupancyTimerExpiring is not 0
     Or $sSay.securityViolated is not 0
     Or $sSay.welcomeHome is not 0
     Or $sSay.systemArming is not 0
     Or $sSay.systemDisarmed is not 0
     Or $sSay.goodBye is not 0
     Or $sSay.turnOnLights is not 0
     Or $sSay.systemArmed is not 0
     Or $sz_40 is not 0
     Or $sSay.blindLowBatt is not 0
     Or $sSay.blindJammed is not 0
     Or $sz_43 is not 0
     Or $sz_44 is not 0
     Or $sz_45 is not 0
     Or $sz_46 is not 0
     Or $sz_47 is not 0
     Or $sz_48 is not 0
 
Then
        Wait  10 seconds
        $sSay.motionOutsideDoor  = 0
        $sSay.occupancyTimerExpiring  = 0
        $sSay.securityViolated  = 0
        $sSay.welcomeHome  = 0
        $sSay.systemArming  = 0
        $sSay.systemDisarmed  = 0
        $sSay.goodBye  = 0
        $sSay.turnOnLights  = 0
        $sSay.systemArmed  = 0
        $sz_40  = 0
        $sSay.blindLowBatt  = 0
        $sSay.blindJammed  = 0
        $sz_43  = 0
        $sz_44  = 0
        $sz_45  = 0
        $sz_46  = 0
        $sz_47  = 0
        $sz_48  = 0
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
