Alexa Discovery Request

About once a day I get the following in the log

Code: Select all
15 Aug 2021 at 12:42:32
   Alexa                           Alexa discovery request received, assembling reply...
   Alexa                           ...'Dining Room Light' - Type: DimmerDevice - Subtype: Dimmer
   Alexa                           ...'Bathroom Light' - Type: DimmerDevice - Subtype: Dimmer
   Alexa                           ...'Fan Slow' ('Fan Slow Virtual') - Type: RelayDevice - Subtype: Switch

Is this Alexa Discovery built into Indigo as I am not instigating it and it can start at 9 in the morning one day and 10 at night the next?

Re: Alexa Discovery Request

Discovery requests always come from Amazon, so it's the Alexa service which is requesting the discovery. Not sure why it would do that unsolicited though.

Re: Alexa Discovery Request

Thanks Jay, does not surprising that Amazon are the cause, I will just ignore it now I know it is not something I have done.
