Alexa can't find anything, says I need a Bridge/Hub. #223

What's the current state of this library? I try to get the Alexa app to discover Philips Hue devices and it asks what bridge version I have, neither of which work, or if I select "I don't have a hub" it tells me I need either a Philips Hue Bridge or an Echo Plus.

Can this library be used without a Bridge or a Echo Plus?

@FrankHovis The library currently is functioning well.

To answer your query, please use "other devices" and not Phillips Hue on the Alexa app when discovering the lights.

Phillips Hue bridge is not required,

As far as my experience with this library goes, a physical alexa device (Atleast an echo dot) is necessary for discovering devices.

@pvint I can add this info in the readme and push a PR if needed?
