Doorbell isn't being triggered

[GrumpyGoslin]

Hi,

I have setup my nest hello (wired) doorbell to alert when someone press the button through homebridge-google-nest-sdm and this is happening successfully, with a notification appearing on multiple apple devices

I want to then get Alexa to notify everyone that this has happened as well. However it doesn't seem to trigger at all.

Alexa App can see a Device as a "Front Doorbell" through homebridge-alexa and I have enabled it in the app.

Is there something I am missing? Here is the config

  {
            "name": "Alexa",
            "username": "xxxxx",
            "password": "xxxxx",
            "pin": "same-as-homebridge",
            "routines": true,
            "blind": false,
            "door": false,
            "debug": false,
            "deviceListHandling": "allow",
            "platform": "Alexa"
        },

A few questions

1 - what is your account status on homebridge.ca? Can you share a screen shot of the status.

2 - Any log messages in the homebridge console

Thanks for getting back so fast

I do get some messages about Duplicates which I am not sure I can do anything about....

Just an update on this, I can create a routine that works with the motion detection and announces itself, so just seems to be the doorbell trigger that isn't being processed

[NorthernMan54]

The warnings are just a warning and not an issue

this is concerning, as the message is only triggered when no devices are being passed to Alexa

ERROR: HAP Discovery failed, please review config

and I’m wondering if this is blocking something, "deviceListHandling": "allow", without a device list

also item 6 on the status updates for each doorbell or sensor message, so it should update for a doorbell press.

So after I wired up the motions events it's started to work which I find probably a coincidence.

There is a 10 second delay however so I am now investigating the root behind it. It is probably related to 458 so will try narrowing the deviceListHandling as suggested.

Great plugin though. So great to be able to wire up my Nest doorbell to Alexa where most sites say it can't be done.

Thanks

Tks for the update
