Alexa keeps forgetting HA Bridge #97

Open wiiNinja opened 7 years ago

wiiNinja commented 7 years ago

I've been using this for a while but only recently does Alexa keep forgetting the devices and I would have to tell Alexa to go "discover devices" again. This happens every day, and sometimes twice in a day. I am not certain which side is the culprit (Alexa or bridge), but posting this here hoping that someone may have seen this issue and have a solution for it. I'm running version .4 with a first generation Echo. Any hint would be appreciated.

This may have something to do with version .4, as I went back to version 0.2.1 and the problem seems to have gone away.

.4 is buggy especially when it comes to ports. I think it has to do with the not being able to manipulate the starting port number. Go into the configuration URL and see if the devices are still there after it "forgets" and you'll have the answer.

This seems to happen to me as well a few times. Maybe it's on alexas side. However it hasn't happened in about 10 days. I will report when it happens again.
