18.2.1 Changes in ISY Optimized for Smart Home V3
• Proactive state update; this will allow to see the state of your devices on the echo
mobile app in real-time.
• A/V Support through State Variables and Network Resources
• Color bulb support (Aeotec, Fibaro) - REQUIRES FIRMWARE 5.0.11+
• Slow devices like lock will no longer return an error, unless it's very long.
• Locks will tell you if the lock is Jammed, or if the battery is low.
• NOTES:
o Thermostat behavior in Auto mode is completely different (see below)
o You may no longer be able to use multiple ISYs with one Echo Account
18.2.1.1Proactive State Update
• This will require the live update to be active. When you go to your Amazon Echo
device list, make sure to enable the Live Update -- NOTE: This may not be working
properly at this time
18.2.1.2Thermostat Auto mode behavior
• When in Auto mode and requesting a specific temp, the V2 skill attempted to change
the appropriate setpoint. Now, the V3 skill will change BOTH setpoints, one below
the requested temp, one above the requested temp.
• If in Fahrenheit, the dead band is 5 degrees, with heat being -2 and cool +3 from the
requested setpoint (Amazon's recommended numbers).
• Asking Alexa to increase or decrease temp by [##] degrees will increase or decrease
both setpoints (just like in V2).
