Reload button for Indigo Touch

I bought a few MagicLight wikibulbs on sale last week and am trying to integrate them into my lighting and light control system (which is, primarily, old X10 technology handled by Indigo). For the time being I’m using the Alexa Magic Home skill to manage the wikibulbs, and, currently, use Alexa to turn on/off/dim/schedule lights my X10 and MagicLight devices, and also use Indigo Touch form X10 devices.

I notice that whenever I add/edit a Magic Home device, all my Alexa devices go OFFLINE in Alexa | Smart Home | Devices and Alexa does not DISCOVER them, again, until I reload the Indigo Virtual Interface and Alexa-Hue Bridge plugin, which requires logging in remotely to my Indigo server.

Is or would it be possible to add an ONLINE button to Indigo Touch which would enable any Indigo Touch user to reload and ‘fix’ the OFFLINE problem whenever it happens? Or, is there an another, available solution for the non-tech Alexa and Indigo Touch user (e.g., the Mrs) to do this?

Thanks,

- Tom

I'm not following how the Virtual Devices Interface has anything to do with your issue. Can you more fully describe the setup?

“Alexa, turn [on|off] the evening lights.”
Alexa Group ‘Evening Lights’ → checked Devices in the group turn [on | off]

Sorry, still not seeing where the Virtual Devices interface is involved...

I notice that whenever I add/edit a Magic Home device, all my Alexa devices go OFFLINE in Alexa | Smart Home | Devices and Alexa does not DISCOVER them, again, until I reload the Indigo Virtual Interface and Alexa-Hue Bridge plugin, which requires logging in remotely to my Indigo server.

You are wanting a button to reload the plugin(s)? If so, you can possibly do that via an Action Group.

Under Indigo 7.2 (I think it was a new feature in 7.2), you can reload a plugin from Server Actions.
