  1. Why do you consider that a risk and not a feature?
  2. Select each device in the scene one-by-one and ensure that both the on-level and ramp rate are correct.
  3. Either the SH Hub or a version of 5+.
  4. There's no way to prevent a scene from turning off, but the 2844-222 does have an On only option.
  5. If Control MS is set ON will execute Then and Control MS is not set Off will execute Else
  6. Plugging a device such as a TV into a filter will accomplish nothing unless you can show that the TV is causing a problem. That's easy. Unplug the TV. It must be unplugged, just turning it off is inadequate. If a particular communication problem is cured, then a filter is called for. Otherwise, not. But also check separately the soundbar and other peripherals. None of my Fire TVs are a problem. Also, I've been running a Grunfos recirculator pump without a filter for years with no problems.
  7. No, Else will not run because there is no condition that will execute it. In fact, not even Then will execute because a scene has no state.
  8. Select a brief program. Disable it. Recreate the program form scratch, Do not copy. That's the reason for starting with a brief program. Execute "Run Then." Any success? If so, trigger the program. What's the result?
  9. Ha, I completely missed that one. There are three logins for Amazon, the sales web site, the computer app and the one you came up against, the smartphone app which I didn't describe. For that, tap on the menu bars (top, left), select Settings. Scroll to the bottom and tap on SIGN OUT.
  10. Amazon will always default to the last account that you logged into. That doesn't matter is you logged in at the website or the Alexa app. If your last login was at Amazon.com, then click on Account for current_account_name and select, Switch Accounts (top, right, below your name). OTOH, if you were logged on to the Alexa app last, then select, Not your_login_name (bottom of left side panel).
  11. Info only: whether a plug (or receptacle) is 2-prong or 3-prong is independent of the voltage or amperage. A 2-prong device has two conductors, line and neutral. A 3-prong device adds a ground wire. Although it's true that 3-prong devices are usually used on devices that have a higher ampere rating, the only purpose of the ground is safety. The suggestion by lilyoyo1 to use a 3-prong power strip is a practical and easy solution.
  12. There is nothing about your query that's in any way inconvenient for me. The fact that you were successful makes the time I spent very worthwhile. Fun, too
  13. I'm not sure why you need closure for both the NO and NC contacts on the I/O Linc. Won't activating the C-1 relay contacts cause the I/O Linc to complete the circuit between NO and COM which, in turn, turns on the LEDs? And if closing the relay on the I/O Linc turns on the LEDs, then why do you need a program for that?
  14. Adding a device to the portal and adding a device to the Alex app are entirely different. In particular, Alexa can't discover a device that's not added to the portal first. So, which is actually the problem you are experiencing, adding the device to the portal or adding it to the Alexa app? And which Alexa app, the one for a computer or the smartphone app?
  15. In virtually any installation, communication is not constant. Often a particular time frame is less reliable than other times. Changing the On and/or Off times helps detect such instances. Changing the trigger time for everything is often a time saver. If you can get reliable performance at any other time then the times you are using now, then it's a communication problem, not the PLM not the ISY. What you do next depends on if you can achieve reliable performance at any particular time.
