"I'm not quite sure what went wrong".
The plugin is running and nothing appears in the Indigo log. When I issue the "Discover devices" command, the Indigo log shows the devices being discovered and they work in Indigo.
The echos also control other hubs in my home. Only this one part has failed but since this is my interface to Indigo, it is the bulk of my automation.
I would appreciate any assistance.
This has been happening to me too. I've found that restarting the plugin fixes it temporarily, but overall it's very unstable for me and stops working multiple times per day.
I know it's not the Hue Hub, as the Hue app works perfectly. I can also trigger the same actions manually that Alexa would be triggering, so I *know* it's not Indigo...
EDIT: This *may* be related to a problem with one of my Virtual Device Groups. I had to "reset" it by basically saving the devices' states again, otherwise I was getting some errors in the Event Log. Now that I reset it, things have been smooth sailing. Will keep an eye on it...
EDIT 2: Nope, still fails multiple times per day. Restarting the plugin fixes the problem, but it's SUPER annoying at best and down right infuriating at worst. Now that voice control has become the standard in my house to an extent, this problem is causing a lot of headaches.
EDIT 3: I figured out that some of the ports were in use so it was failing. Once I specified ports for each bridge, everything fell into place. I should have read the logs in more detail, but I had debugging turned on for another plugin, so the log was getting difficult to read pretty quickly and I missed the error. SORRY!
