Hi All.

I've setup a physical insteon switch to trigger a state variable change.

I've then exposed that variable to alexa

Activating the switch successfully changes the state variable, and will sometimes run the alexa routine.

It's very inconsistent and I can't quite tell where the failure is.

Is this just a very slow configuration or should i be expecting a quick enough of a response such that switch is activated and light comes on?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I have had that problem as well.. usually it works itself out with 24-48 hours.

Currently all of mine are working well, but I do know when I set one up, it can be fluky for a while.

I have had problems on and off with Alexa routines triggering also.

This has happened a few times over the years. Alexa app shows the input points changing , the routines fully working when triggered manually but they just wouldn't trigger.

After complaining each time, and Amazon denying any problems, and advising to contact your app writer, it would suddenly start working again, once after about a month.
