discovery problems #89

Hi,

i have some discovery problems, too. I actually use more then 40 alexa local nodes for avoiding cloud services for my IO-Broker. When i ran on raspberry until yesterday, i had 43 working nodes and one was not found. It was not a very impotend one. so i did not care. It was very strange because the node was not found when i change the name or when i delete and recreated it. I was also not found when i delete an other node. To find all the other devices with alexa i used the app. I needed more then 5 scans to find all the other devices.

Now my iobroker and node red runs on a windows plattform. It is more compfortable to me. First i did not recognized that any alexa local does not work. But some hours and restarts later, many devices are no longe available. When i ask alexa to switch them, it sais that the device is not reachable. When i delete the not workling device and make a new scan with echo dot, echo or alexa app i find no new devices. When i delete a workling device, it will be found again when i make a scan.

when i change the state of a device with alexa, the node gets a blue square with "on". When i make the scan, all workling nodes changes vom "discovery" to "/lights". All not working ohne stays in "discovey". Also some of working nodes keeps to stay in "discovery". After a while, all nodes are in "discovery" again but the working ones keeps workling. The most workling nodes are in the first half of the first chart. There i no not workling node. Behind that there a mixed workling and not workling nodes. Maybe it depends on the order how i created the nodes.

I use Win10 Pro node.js 10.15.1 npm 6.4.1 node-red 0.19.5

Who has some ideas to look for? My wife and my childs are actually not able to turn on the "cinema mode" :D.

i changed the order of my flow. And made a new deploy. Now the most devices are found again. But three devices are not workling. I copied them into a new extra flow. Did not help. One one the working devices did work before i changed the order of the flows. Very Strange...
