sdetweil

@dave_ and while MM was running you were supposed to do the netstat -a -p commands to see if the process blocking port 1900 is inside MM…

There u go

sdetweil

@dave_ but you were supposed to have AlexaControl disabled… but do not
please post your config.js (in code block please)

dave_

@sdetweil with that disabled it doesn’t seem to work

sdetweil

@dave_ it won’t work, we are debugging… trying to find what process has port 1900 , which alexacontrol needs, but was blocked from using…

dave_

@sdetweil so the alexa module is disabled and again like before when i do that sudo netstat command nothing shows up

sdetweil

@dave_ so, something doesn’t make sense… please show me your config.js

dave_

This post is deleted!

sdetweil

@dave_ weird… ok, re-enable AlexaControl (change to disabled: false, ) then restart MM and show me the messages again

sdetweil

sdetweil

@dave_ ok, as expected… the extra image u posted this morning was from some other time

now, if you do alexa discover devices (phone app is more (bottom right), other, discover devices)

dave_

@sdetweil tried that still no luck

sdetweil

@dave_ ok, need to edit a file to turn on some debugging

nano ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-AlexaControl/node_modules/node-fauxmo/src/SSDPService.js

change lines 92-94, the console.log lines below
change from

	udpServer.on('message', (msg, rinfo) => {
		//debug(`<< server got: ${msg} from ${rinfo.address}:${rinfo.port}`);
		//console.log('Search request from ' + util.inspect(rinfo));
		//console.log(getMask(rinfo.address, '255.255.255.0'));

to

	udpServer.on('message', (msg, rinfo) => {
		console.log(`<< server got: ${msg} from ${rinfo.address}:${rinfo.port}`);       
		console.log('Search request from ' + util.inspect(rinfo));
		console.log(getMask(rinfo.address, '255.255.255.0'));

dave_

@sdetweil my internet went of for a bit I’ll do this asap and let you know!

sdetweil

@dave_ I also added another line of debug

let response = function(ipaddr) {
	let deviceresp = [];
	let responses = [];
	for(let i = 0; i < = devices.length - 1; i++) {
		console.log('responding for port='+devices[i].port)   // this line

and I see this output from the MM console , from alexa discover devices

Hey…
I have the same Issue and i will do every step i found here tomorrow.
I tried everything i found on the Internet but i still couldnt make it work.
You have any new knowledge here? I even heard somewhere that the fauxmo code wont work anymore because Alexa cant find the emulated Wemo Devices anymore. Btw Alexa Controll starts at port 11000 but when i set it to 1900 it still doesnt work.

I am currently at the step with disabling Spotify which didnt solve my Problem. So tomorrow i will try to make my Config.js file readable (because it looks terrible at the moment) and then i will post it here.

All i wanna do is to toggle my Display with Alexa…i dont need to switch Pages or hide modules. I just wanna turn it on and off. I found every Solution for every Problem i had myself except for this Problem.
