Alexa App always shows old devices #391

Hi, I played around with virtual devices during the initial setup of the Homebridge Alexa plugin.

The connection between my Homebridge instance and the Alexa device with installed skill works perfectly.

Old devices that no longer exist in config.json are still displayed after disabling the skill and re-enabling it with subsequent device discovery mode and do not disappear.

I assume that they are cached somewhere? What I would like to avoid is to empty the cache of the whole homebridge instance, because I would have to reconfigure all my devices.

Thanks for any kind of help.

Homebridge-Alexa only caches in memory and restarting the plugin will clear it.

Uninstall and Reinstall the skill from the Alexa device several times Restart Homebridge service on RaspberryPi Deleted the configuration from the config.json file — You are receiving this because you commented. Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.
