        @sdetweil OK back working now with that thanks! Although the conf for my pm2 seems to be not working anymore, I think I saw a similar issue somewhere in the comments here?

        Also I cant get the conf page anymore cause it can no longer get /modules/MMM-Config/review

        ?

          Although the conf for my pm2

          eh?? what conf for pm2? where?

          pm2 setup is done once at install (if you use my script and it just points to the ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

          Also I cant get the conf page anymore cause it can no longer get /modules/MMM-Config/review

          eh??

          http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Config/review

          (the MM config says localhost, SO the url MUST be localhost to match…

          anything else
          (ip or name)
          will fail

            @sdetweil Before I was able to connect my alexa as a smart device with pm2 but now its not showing at all on alexa is what i mean.

            Yep that the link I use but I get the the home page and its the same blank interface as before with no modules tab or anything? Like I just used it to make the latest conf file so I know it works some how haha

                @alyx i;m not sure what u mean by the alexaControl problem

                u set it up once and then do Alexa Discover Devices.

                they are there forever …(until u manually delete them)

                now… IF the machine IP changes (like across a reboot)

                then the ip address that alexa saved is no longer valid and alexa can’t find them
                it does NOT save dns NAME, only IP address.

                  Yes thats what I mean I haven’t changed anything like that although. I just used the script and the generated config file. It seems alexa can no longer find the devices and is displaying them as offline

                    @alyx the pi address changed (like powered off overnight and the ip lease expired

                    I set fixed (reservation) addresses for all my pi devices in my network router to avoid this problem

                    only way to fix is to delete and rediscover

                    alexa.amazon.com
                    smarthome tab
                    devices
                    at the bottom is forget all
                    (or u can delete them 1 by 1)

                        @alyx i delete, restart MM or reboot and then rediscover

                        its finicky for sure… and some newer alexa devices seem not to support the old wmeo plugs like they used to…

                        new show will not discover them, but older echo will

                            @alyx ok I found the issue, I commented out all the options in alexa and then ran them individually and etc.

                            Turns out the notification/ command and devices options werent configured correctly by the conf generator. after commenting those out I can now find them on alexa
