Echo not recognising devices I have added via the configurator page

[litfoo]

I have managed to add a device on the Hue Bridge emulator configurator page and it has been assigned with an ID, has a name and is labelled as a Switch

However, when I ask Alexa to discover my devices, it does not pick it up. - Says it can't find any devices

Anyone have any ideas as to why it is not picking it up?

thanks,

litfoo

I had the same issue until I started it with --upnp.config.address= pointing to the server on which I was running the jar.

Thanks for this paul - excuse my ignorance

on the box (xxx.xxx.x.80) i have the jar on , i am currently entering C:\echo>java -jar amazon-echo-bridge-o.2.1.jar to get the bridge running

where would I run/start with --upnp.config.address= exactly?

[paulwakeford]

C:\echo>java -jar amazon-echo-bridge-o.2.1.jar --upnp.config.address=xxx.xxx.x.80

For example I run mine on a server with IP 192.168.1.150 so I use

java -jar amazon-echo-bridge-o.2.1.jar --upnp.config.address=192.168.1.150

excellent news - used the command as you described paul and it found the device i had created

thanks again!

how would one create a custom script/bat file for this command line to auto execute on startup of a PC? java -jar amazon-echo-bridge-o.2.1.jar --upnp.config.address=192.168.1.150

can it be entered as is or what would need in order to be able to auto-execute that command above?

thanks, litfoo

litfoo, Here is what I use in a *.bat file that I run from the Task Scheduler:

cd C: javaw -Xmx200m -jar -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true amazon-echo-bridge-0.2.1.jar --upnp.config.address=

Cheers

thanks for this - my path is echo - so am wondering if i created a .bat file with:

cd C:\echo\ java -jar amazon-echo-bridge-o.2.1.jar --upnp.config.address=192.168.1.150

would that work?

or do I need to specify the additional info you have mentioned?

thanks, litfoo

[litfoo]

not having much luck with the batch file - getting error: The system cannot find the path specified

my exact path that works from command line is:

C:\echo>java -jar amazon-echo-bridge-0.2.1.jar --upnp.config.address=192.168.1.124 --server.port=8082

have tried the below in bat file but it does not execute-

cd c:\echo\ java -jar amazon-echo-bridge-0.2.1.jar --upnp.config.address=192.168.1.124 --server.port=8082

any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

thanks, litfoo

Just google 'batch file start up Windows' and follow one of the guides.

trust me.. i have been googling that all day

[litfoo]

can anyone offer any more advice? I have been looking online but am still not getting very far

Try connecting your server directly to the access point serving the Echo and then see if Discovery works.

thanks for the comment ifuchs - that problem is fixed now - Echo can discover my devices

the outstanding issue is the correct content for my .bat file

[paulwakeford]

cd c:\echo\ java -jar amazon-echo-bridge-0.2.1.jar --upnp.config.address=192.168.1.124 --server.port=8082

This should be over two lines in your batch file.

cd c:\echo\

java -jar amazon-echo-bridge-0.2.1.jar --upnp.config.address=192.168.1.124 --server.port=8082

Thanks again Paul. works like a charm
