5 years ago You mention lighttpd a few times -- is this running your CGI script?
Please include your verbose Fauxmo log output.
Should state checks even be performed as part of the simplehttpplugin?
You're right, interestingly the docs don't seem to have updated: https://fauxmo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fauxmo.plugins.html#module-fauxmo.plugins.simplehttpplugin . Would you mind making an issue so I don't forget to investigate this?
Your Echo does the state checks (and will try to confirm that the state changed after a command was given, or respond that it is "not responding"). I can't stop it from doing so, I can only allow users to configure Fauxmo to reflect these state changes. If your CGI script can reflect the state of the device, you can probably configure it so this will work. If it can't, then you might not be able to get rid of these messages, since this is Echo behavior that I can't change.

fauxmo --version): 0.4.9My Issue
Appears to be the same issue another user was having back in May, though there was no resolution in that case, due to lack of response from the user.
I'm using simplehttpplugin in my config.json:
{ "FAUXMO": { "ip_address": "auto" }, "PLUGINS": { "SimpleHTTPPlugin": { "DEVICES": [ { "port": 12340, "on_cmd": "http://192.168.2.106/cgi-bin/light_on.cgi", "off_cmd": "http://192.168.2.106/cgi-bin/light_off.cgi", "method": "GET", "name": "my call light" } ] } } }
When I ask Alexa to turn my call light on, she responds with "my light isn't responding" When I ask Alexa to turn my call light off, she responds with "ok".
Entries in lighttpd's access log, show both requests are processed:
192.168.2.106 192.168.2.106 - [08/Sep/2019:08:59:41 -0500] "GET /cgi-bin/light_on.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200 3 "-" "Python-urllib/3.7" 192.168.2.106 192.168.2.106 - [08/Sep/2019:08:59:53 -0500] "GET /cgi-bin/light_off.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200 3 "-" "Python-urllib/3.7"
Curl shows both requests give 200:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ curl -v http://192.168.2.106/cgi-bin/test.cgi
Here's where it gets kinda funky... I tried the same experiment as the user back in May, by modifying config.json with state parameters as follows:
When I did that, I received "ok" to my 'on' request, but then my 'off' request would result in a 'not responding' condition.
lighttpd shows the following activity:
192.168.2.106 192.168.2.106 - [08/Sep/2019:09:33:38 -0500] "GET /cgi-bin/light_on.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200 3 "-" "Python-urllib/3.7" 192.168.2.106 192.168.2.106 - [08/Sep/2019:09:33:38 -0500] "GET /cgi-bin/light_state.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200 3 "-" "Python-urllib/3.7" 192.168.2.106 192.168.2.106 - [08/Sep/2019:09:33:47 -0500] "GET /cgi-bin/light_off.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200 3 "-" "Python-urllib/3.7" 192.168.2.106 192.168.2.106 - [08/Sep/2019:09:33:47 -0500] "GET /cgi-bin/light_state.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200 3 "-" "Python-urllib/3.7" 192.168.2.106 192.168.2.106 - [08/Sep/2019:09:33:48 -0500] "GET /cgi-bin/light_state.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200 3 "-" "Python-urllib/3.7" 192.168.2.106 192.168.2.106 - [08/Sep/2019:09:33:49 -0500] "GET /cgi-bin/light_state.cgi HTTP/1.1" 200 3 "-" "Python-urllib/3.7"
It gets even more peculiar... then I modified config.json by modifying "state_response_off": "OFF", to "state_response_off": "OK".
Then behavior flipped again - turning the light on was again giving 'not responding' from Alexa, and the off command was yeilding 'ok' from Alexa.
In both cases, the cgi was executed, and the response code appears to be 200, though notice that the cases where Alexa gives me a 'not responding', you see multiple attempts by fauxmo, to retrieve state information, even though these config values (presumably) should be ignored in simplehttpplugin:

Should state checks even be performed as part of the simplehttpplugin? (shouldn't these only occur if I'm using the REST plugin?)
