Getting HTTP 404 for download device list #75

Closed atomroflman closed 4 years ago

atomroflman commented 4 years ago

When I am opening the Node Red flow configuration of an instance of 'Alexa Home' I can sign into my account wich is marked as connected. Anyways the device list keeps empty. I can see the devices in the alexa app.

I tried: -rediscovering devices -restarting node red -reconnecting alexa account twice -recreating my account -recreating the flow

Url: http://{MyserverIP}:1880/alexa-home/devices/{MyUserID} accounts: atomroflman & greg-e

That implies that the Node has not been able to retrieve the live of devices from the backend.

Have you restarted Node-RED?

Also what version of Node-RED, NodeJS and the node are you running?

Also are you trying to use both usernames (atomroflman & greg-e) in the same Node-RED instance?

hardillb commented 4 years ago

The logs are showing 401 errors on the backend which implies a problem with your password. Does it by any chance include a @ symbol?

Also are you seeing anything in the Node-RED log that looks like:

Problem looking up [username]'s devices
hardillb commented 4 years ago

If not a @ how about a + in the password?

If you have either, logout of the website and use the lost password option to try a different password without either @ or +.

Hi Hardillb,

thank you for your response. I'm using node version 10.13 and node-red 1.0.2. The node red instance is integrated into an iobroker.

Other urls work fine, like "alexa-home/refresh/{MyUserID}" but /alexa-home/devices/{MyUserID} returns 404

Thank you

hardillb commented 4 years ago

refresh will, it doesn't actually wait for the get device call to finish.

As I said, this is most likely a problem with the password you are using

atomroflman commented 4 years ago

Ok you are right, I resettet the password to a simpler one and now it is working. Thank you 👍

Just to be clear I believe this to be a bug in the require library.
