Alexa not discovering

Hi Jay

I had this working initially but then noticed that new devices were not discovering and existing ones stopped responding.
I've revoked access from indigo, disabled the app and then started again but it still doesn't work.
Any ideas how o can see what is going wrong?
Cheers

Re: Alexa not discovering

I've turned on detailed debugging and I can see records such as below when Alexa discovering is enabled,

Code: Select all
   Alexa                           ...'Kitchen Table Spots' - Type: DimmerDevice - Subtype: Dimmer
   Alexa Debug                     IndigoDeviceEndpoint.__init__ called with device: 307688025 (Bedroom Pendant)
   Alexalib Debug                  CapabilityInterface.__init__ called...
   Alexalib Debug                    created the default Alexa interface
   Alexalib Debug                  EndpointHealth.__init__ called...
   Alexalib Debug                  CapabilityInterface.__init__ called...
   Alexalib Debug                    created the default Alexa interface
   Alexalib Debug                  BrightnessController.__init__ called...
   Alexalib Debug                  CapabilityInterface.__init__ called...
   Alexalib Debug                    created the default Alexa interface
   Alexalib Debug                  PowerController.__init__ called...
   Alexalib Debug                  CapabilityInterface.__init__ called...
   Alexalib Debug                    created the default Alexa interface


and then this below, but Alexa doesnt actually find the new devices (I have deleted all the Indigo devices out of Alexa to start again).
Any ideas about why this isnt working?

Thanks
Simon.

Re: Alexa not discovering

Cheers. Right at the end was this key bit of info.

Code: Select all
 The v2021.1.0 version of the skill has an issue when a device contains an empty string “” as the device's address. If you look at the device's Address column in the device list and see nothing, that's an indication that it likely will cause a discovery failure (of all devices, not just the one with the bad address).

Re: Alexa not discovering

That’s fixed in v2021.1.1…

It’s always best to keep up with the latest bug fix release.
