21 Dec 12:00:24 - [info] Node-RED version: v0.17.5 21 Dec 12:00:24 - [info] Node.js version: v8.9.3 21 Dec 12:00:24 - [info] Linux 4.10.0-42-generic x64 LE

Running on ubuntu 16.04 LTS desktop

1) flow created - simple alexa-local node output to debug - deploys ok 2) alexa, discover devices 3) node status changes to discovey 4) node-red console outputs message says

3ee08a4ec4bdb6 Paul GET /upnp/amazon-ha-bridge/setup.xml ::ffff:192.168.0.67 Sending setup.xml to ::ffff:192.168.0.67

"Paul" is the node name, 192.168.0.67 is alexa ip address

5) alexa completes discovery, says @no new smart home devices" 6) node status stays in "discovery"

Alexa unit in this case is a echo plus - but I have also tried from alexa app on phone - can retry with a dot if we think that is a contributing factor

There's an unconfirmed issue with Echo Plus not discovering devices. Please try on Echo Dot. Virtual Alexa on app, FireTV Stick do not have discovery capability. This is confirmed.

thats it - restarted node red and switched to DOT discovery and control look to working OK - i can help with debug on the plus if required.
