Alexa: Device doesn't support requested value #192

I am using fauxmoESP library version 3.4.0 with NodeMCU Alexa shows the following issue. The devices' commands work fine. But this randomly appears in the app.

Same thing here with the Alexa app. I'm using an esp8266 12E, Arduino core 2.42, Fauxmo 3.4. LwIP Variant set to "v1.4 Higher Bandwidth. Alexa voice commands work great. I also randomly get Device is unresponsive. If I zoom in on the Light and turn it on or off or adjust the brightness it works and clears the error for a very short time.

I have noticed on esp32 that, after setting brightness, on echo or alexa app the error disappears until next esp32 reboot.

+1, I am interested in debugging this too. Is it related to not using the setstate method? Library code link here Gonna try it asap.

Any luck on this?

This issue doesn't seem to cause any behavioral issues with switching on and off, is it an issue with Alexa?

momja commented 10 months ago

I've observed that setting the brightness on the devices seems to resolve the issue, but I'm not sure why.

Just to clarify, "devices" here refers to the mobile app?

I meant to say that, from the mobile app, when I set the brightness for each of the configured "lights" it seems to resolve the issue.

Honestly, I'm not sure I'm able to reproduce that behavior though. Last night when I was testing, I still encountered this error message ("Device doesn't support requested value") in the Alexa app even after adjusting brightness.

it worked with me and also did not say "device is unresponsive" after adjusting the brightness value that the device(ESP8266) sends to alexa:

if the state is off, bri = 1 -> this is 0% brightness on Alexa if the state is on, bri = 254 -> this is 100% brightness on Alexa

so do not let the brightness 255 or 0, just make it 1:254
