how to setDeviceUniqueId with an example #232

Closed mjtrini closed 1 year ago

Hello,

I have multiple ESP8266 devices with fauxmo voice control. At times the voice command from my Gen 4 Echo Dot activates the wrong device on the wrong ESP8266. All my devices across the ESP8266s have unique names. Is there a way to manually set a unique ID in the sketch for each ESP8266? Can you provide an example sketch?

Much thanks, Michael.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. The unique id length is apparently 11 characters and not 12. The below compiles for me const char UniqueId[FAUXMO_DEVICE_UNIQUE_ID_LENGTH] = "12345678901";

I will do some further verification and let you know.

Hi friends, I don't know if this can help you, but I had a problem that Alexa did not find all the devices even verifying that the uniqueId was different in each one and in each ESP8266. The only solution was to add two characters from the mac to the name so that the probability of having the same names is low and it worked perfectly. I did a lot of research on the subject, and all the numbers in each JSON and the XML and they were perfect. Only the name matched, and the change solved my problem.

Then from the Alexa app, I change the name and that's it.

I hope it works for somebody!

OK I tested. Let me state that whoever you are, you need to stop replying to issues. This library is good but the support for issues is completely non existent. Your completely useless and corrupt response is not helping anyone of this site.
