Alexa and Insteon
Posted: Tue Jan 21, 2020 4:27 pm
Has anyone else run into this? Using Alexa to turn on (and occasionally off) a device (lamp, etc.), "She" will most times here reply with "Sorry the Housebot device <whatever> is not responding. Please check its network connection and power supply." (It says something when I can type that from memory.) Delivery of that message just proceeds the device turning on normally! It would appear to be a timing issue. That is, HB and the Insteon PLM cannot respond fast enough to satisfy the request from/through the Alexa process... whatever that is. Obviously not a serious problem; just annoying.
