Alexa Home stopped working #105

Closed tvan0076 closed 3 years ago

tvan0076 commented 3 years ago

All, I have been using the service for about 3 months, and it has been awesome! I had to reconfigure some settings and it stopped working. So, Here is what I have tried: removed the Alexa Skill removed the scenes in smart home deleted all nodes deleted node red configuration node with account information

Started from scratch with a new username and password on hardillb and set everything back up. Now I just get "Ok" from Alexa and nothing triggers. Everything shows connected but nothing works :-( Any ideas??

I'm going to need a lot more information before I can start to help.

As a test start simple:

  1. remove all devices from the service
  2. remove all the device nodes from Node-RED (you can leave the config node)
  3. ask "alexa, discover devices (to clear out any old devices)
  4. add a single simple device (e.g. a light with just on/off) on the website
  5. add an alexa-in node and click the refresh button before selecting the new test device
  6. attach a debug node to the test device node
  7. deploy changes to flow
  8. wait for constant connected green dot
  9. ask "alexa, discover devices"
  10. ask "alexa, turn on test device"

Do you get any output in the debug node?

All, I think I have it figure out. Before changing my settings I could just tell Alexa an activity "Alexa, Wake up" and she did it. Now looks like I have to also tell her to turn on an activity "Alexa, turn on wake up". Not sure what has changed, but this is working. I wish that wasn't the case, but for now, I have a way forward.

  • What are both the old and new username on the site?
  • Do you get a consistent green connected dot under the alexa-in node?
  • What happens if you connect a debug node to the alexa-in node?
  • Are you using the alexa-response node?
  • Did you remember to ask "alexa, discover devices" after you removed and re-added everything?

OK, so it sounds like all my stuff is working. I'll close this issue for now.
