ISY Skill outdated?

[MikeB]

Just received this via email:


We're reaching out to let you know about changes to how Alexa works with Universal Devices, Inc. devices that connect to Alexa using the ISY Optimized for Smart Home V2 Skill. The ISY Optimized for Smart Home V2 Skill uses an outdated integration that hasn't been updated by its developer to support all of Alexa’s existing and new functionality.

As a result, the Universal Devices, Inc. devices you have connected using their Alexa Skill will stop working with Alexa on November 1, 2025. This means the devices will no longer work with Alexa voice requests, Routines, or the Alexa app at that time.

While no immediate action is required, we want to alert you to this upcoming change. We know how important it is to have a reliable smart home experience. Works with Alexa certified devices are designed to support Alexa's latest features and deliver the best voice control.

Thank you for making Alexa part of your home.

Thanks,
Alexa Customer Service

This skill is definitely outdated.

Please use "ISY Optimized for Smart Home V3".

Never had much luck with Alexa and ISY automation. Hit and miss.

Has been working well for me for years, I definitely control my lights with Alexa more than with paddles at this point.
