problem with echo plugin if I use IP adress for one of my alexas

[blacktiger333]

If I use an ip address of the network interface to use for one of my alexas, than I cannot start pimatic (see attached error log). As far as I understood - if I use more than one alexa - I have to use an ip address if I want to discover new devices (with the alexa with this specified IP Address) - if I don't specify an ip address in the plugin - I can start pimatic without problems - is this a bug? pimatic-daemon.log

attached also my config file: config.txt

The ip address is just for people who are using more than one network interface on their pimatic host system (aka raspberry for most users). If you just use one interface (most probably eth0 or wlan0) youre find and don't need to configure this. It will be detected automatically.

@michbeck100 - If I don't specify an ip address - no devices are found if discover for devices with pimatic and alexa, so I still have the problem that it doesn't work for me. Can you see something what's wrong with the log file and config I sent?

[blacktiger333]

I will open a new issue.

[michbeck100]

We‘ll just open this one again

[michbeck100]

Please post the config containing the IP address. I couldn’t find it in the attached config.txt

[blacktiger333]

sorry - here it is: config.txt

As I wrote before you don’t need to set the up address.

Did you try the plugin without setting the ip address?

[blacktiger333]

Yes - I did so, same problem as before.

Are you using more than one pimatic instances with pimatic-echo installed?

[blacktiger333]

Yes – I’m using 3 raspis with pimatic-echo installed.

Are you using more than one pimatic instances with pimatic-echo installed?

Ok, pimatic-echo isn’t tested with multiple instances. I guess there are some uids in the code that have to be unique. You are invited to play with these. But to be sure, you should first disable all instances except one and retest

[michbeck100]

@blacktiger333 did you test with a single instance?

[michbeck100]

Is here any progress?
