Bride Duplicate Devices #1288

Open slottedpig opened 3 years ago

slottedpig commented 3 years ago

Hi all,

Ive been searching these forums and the broader internet for a solution to this but I cant seem to find one that works. I know other people have problems with this and some have been resolved and some havent so I am wondering at this point if its my setup. Here is the rundown, my server runs on a static IP address on port 80. I have 6 echo devices on the same network as the bridge plus the alexa apps on the phone/ipad. Everytime I discover devices i get duplicates and then everything stops working. IT is even finding devices that have long been deleted or names changed etc. Here is what I have already tried, renumbering the devices in the bridge, deleting everything out of the smart home and rediscovering. Still get three duplicates. I upgraded to the newest bridge 5.4.0. Ive re-seeded and then renumbered and tried to discover again with no devices. At this point I am completely at a loss on what to do next. Please help.

I am experiencing duplicate discovered devices on the 5.4.0 release as well. only have 23 devices, but seeing more turned up in the discovery as duplicates. Thought this was fixed in 5.4.0

It’s actually weird I redid it again and got my normal 35 devices. Then even though no other discovery was run, the devices duplicate on their own. Not sure why.

Unfortunately, this has to do with multiple things from amazon. First is caching of IDs and the second is, when deleting items from the alexa it will take many hours for it to be removed from the cache.

I had this problem a couple of weeks ago. The Alexa Support adviced mo to to as follows:

This worked for me. However, currently there is another open issue Alexa cannot discover devices which used to work. #1293, i.e. discovering devices currently works only with a workaround described there.
