Amazon Echo Hub, Amazon Echo Device on Home Assistant using Node Red (Devices Not Discovered)

[esovetsky]

SUMMARY

I am using Node-Red 14.0.0 with the Home Assistant 2022.12.8. I have placed the "Amazon Echo Hub" node on the page with default port 80 and device discovery checked. I placed "Amazon Echo Device" on the page and gave it a unique name. Then I placed a "Service Call" node and link all three together. I asked Alexa to discover, and nothing was discovered. The "Amazon Echo Device" shows a green dot below stating "online". I did hang a debug off the "Amazon Echo Hub" and no output is presented in the debug window. I confirmed both with wireless and wired via a browser that (http://192.168.10.175:80/api/description.xml) yields information. Home Assistant is running on a Dell computer (Home Assistant 2022.12.8, Supervisor 2022.12.1, Operating System 9.4, Frontend 20221213.1 - latest). Any help in resolving this issue is appreciated.

Not sure if it makes a difference, but I put the DEBUG after the light Also, have you enabled the Philips hue Integration on HA or do you already have it? (I think it uses that as a dummy interface!)

harvybob,

So, I tried added the Philips Hue Intergration and then tired to configure. I get the following:

Also, I did put the debug, but I don't get anything hitting the "Amazon Echo Hub"

I have a feeling it has to do with making Port 80 work. But just not sure.

The latest HA OS upgrade to 2023.1.2, this is now working.
