How does Ha-Bridge process commands and responses #1337

Hi.

When alexa requests to control a device through ha-bridge, does ha-bridge then take the response from the device and pass it back to alexa?

I'm talking Json commands.

I have some virtual devices controlled using json, but Alexa works fine turning off the device but complains when turning on the device. I suspect the problem is with the json response back to ha-bridge.

Anyone know how it works?

The ha-bridge creates the hue response as defined in the hue documentation.
