@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'));

@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.

@Michael-Schw I just added another system the other day without any issue.
I do have an original echo, a number of echo dots and one echo show.

but did the discovery from the Alexa app on my phone.

Michael Schw.

@sdetweil i tried it with the app on my fire tablet, the echo plus 2nd gen and the echo dot 3rd gen. The first gen echos are still working but the newer ones dont wanna work. So maybe we can figure something out or plan b would be a sonoff switch for the tv display . But maybe there is a way without the switch. Witch gen are your echos?
