@sbrundage85 Hello, with my Mirror (2.8.0) an EchoDot 3rd Gen. I’m unable to discover devices, too. I try everything i know, but no solution. You found some solution?

I am running MM version 2.7.1 with the latest MMM-AlexaOnOff module. Below is my config.js details for this module. I get no errors when restarting MM and had no problem with Alexa discovering the devices listed in the module. I get confirmation feedback from Alexa when saying “Turn Magic Mirror Off”, but nothing happens. This used to work on an older build of MM but I wanted to start from scratch with the latest version and this has been the only Mod not working correctly. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

If the REMOTE_ACTION of MONITOROFF works from the remote UI then the notifications are sent and received and executed properly. Does anyone have any recommendations as to how I can test if the Notifications sent from my Alexa device to the module is received? Just trying to hash through this one. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

@SubLim3 open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, then select the console tab across the top.

U can add text to search the console in the filter field.

You should see all the notification events

for me the test device is working (Office lamp or fan) but can’t find my modules

[SubLim3]

@Stoffbeuteluwe Yeah, I have been reading that the 3rd Gen Alexa devices are not locating the modules. You might try discovery through the app or web browser http://alexa.amazon.com.

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@SubLim3 i tried the app but doesn’t work…no device found

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@MoreLinux I have MM running on Mac I think you have a RPI …maybe this can be my problem
