Echo Dot responds with "I don't know what went wrong" when trying to control device, although flow works flawless

SUMMARY

I created a flow to allow turning my Yamaha amplifier on/off through Alexa:

I'm using iptables to get around the port 80 / admin issue: *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [19503:5794156] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [16918:3841349] COMMIT *nat :PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0] :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0] -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 10080 -A PREROUTING -p udp -m udp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 10080 COMMIT

(only the relevant part is pasted)

CONSOLE OUTPUT

No entries in node-red-log during execution

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Set up flow
Call Alexa turn on Yamaha

EXPECTED RESULTS

Flow should deliver the "on" command
Alexa should return or positive response

ACTUAL RESULTS

Flow delivers the expected "on" command
Alexa tells me: "I don't know what went wrong"

Looks similar to #100

@TheLongAndOnly Have you checked the network interfaces and restart of Echo devices?

Troubleshooting page

Alexa: "I am not quite sure what went wrong"

Check that your Node-Red instance is not running on multiple network interfaces from the same network. For example, your Node-Red may be listening on ethernet and WiFi interfaces. Issue #77
Restart your Alexa devices. Issue #81
