Indigo Domotics

Yea, I think some of those devices may have gotten removed while I've been transitioning from HBB to HKB now that I look at the ID's a bit more.

I think there are actually two different problems evident in your log. One of which is missing device ids and the other is non-thread-safe code.

Some of the code (in the HttpRequestHandler) isn't thread-safe. I think this explains why once I filtered out non-Echo network traffic, the plugin became more reliable. I have got some Yamaha Musiccast speakers which output a lot of uPnP traffic which the plugin was picking up. So I think what was happening, was that a request from Alexa would arrive and then get "nuked" by other uPnP traffic. This would result in the "device is not responding" messages.

Currently working on 3.0.27 in an effort to fix it.

Version 3.0.27 now available - see announcement

Hi,

All of these changes to support Indigo actions have been working great for months.

But with the upgrade to Indigo 7.2 and the change by Amazon in the devices and routines UI I'm suddenly getting this error repeating many times in my log.
Interestingly, the Alexa routines and associated actions continue to work in spite of the error messages. The Alexa app now shows a red dot and the phrase "there was a problem" on every "device" and their is a ret dot also with the device/action command associated with each routine.

Not sure if Ive done something wrong or this relates to the above updates.

any help is appreciated.

Thx

Never mind--
sorry for the necessary post. I solved the problem.

Thx

Hi Mike

How did you solve the problem, I am getting the same errors.
Any help is appreciated

Turns out I haven't fully resolved the issue. But I was able to stop the error messages from flooding my log.

That solution was discovering that I needed to delete the actions from Hue-Bridge that were causing the errors and recreate those actions. In the Alexa app I also deleted those commands from Devices and re-discovered them. Those actions now work properly without error messages.

However, in the app every Hue "Light" command says still says "there is a problem". I have no idea what the app doesn't like about the actions. Especially since the actions seem to work.
