when i restart the homebridge raspberry i get an error message about needing a cookie. in your documentation it says to logon to my browser to get the cookie but it does not say which device's browser to use (windows, my raspberry, my phone...)

Doesn’t matter, any device that you already use to login to the Homebridge config UI

You have to log into your Homebridge, but on the port you put in the config file for the plugin under "Proxy Port." So, something like: http://homebridge.local:2345

This will present an Alexa authentication screen, and the end result of this will be that the plugin will have an authentication token to use to communicate with your Alexa account.
