I had been using the Alexa Plugin for a while and had just got it to a good place when it stopped working due to the issues detailed in the Plugin Forum about newer devices not working with the discovery process.
I wanted a solution to be able to use my Amazon Echos to turn on/off the lights which are all ZWave. And I think I have found a suitable solution. I have been playing around with Node-Red for a little, and found it quite useful, using for a few MQTT things and bridging a few other things. Then I found an Indigo Node which would interface directly with Indigo to control devices. I have now just found an Alexa Node which works with the latest devices over port 80, so plugging all of this together gives Alexa control of Indigo devices with very little (if any) delay at all. I have following in Node-Red:
https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-indigo
https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red ... mazon-echo
I have Node-Red installed on the same machine as Indigo and it seems fine. Discovery of the published devices worked fine, and as mentioned I have control over my lights via Amazon Echos.
So I thought I would share this solution until the Indigo plugin is back up and running.
