Hi,
Big mistake...I went on holiday about a month ago, for three weeks. When I returned, Alexa would not recognise a single device. "Not recognised" was the message. I could claim that I changed nothing...true...but of course, the entire system could have changed around me.

So, I upgraded HAB to the latest version. It appears to work. I can control all my devices from the Bridge Devices page. But the process which builds the devices to allow Alexa to discover them just does not work. Alexa finds a lot of devices...all now marked as Hue type, but none of them work from the Alexa voice control or the Alexa app.
Habridge Devices continues to work, all devices can be fired on and off from the on-screen buttons, so something is failing between HAbridge and he Alexa discovery.
So given that I have definitely NOT changed anything on my side (other than the upgrade of HaBridge) can anyone indicate where I should start looking for the fix?

<< I should add that I also followed the advice and changed the Habridge Web Server port to 80 via the config file. However, it still shows as 8080 in the Bridge Control..perhaps not working either.

Thanks for the help

Recompiling with Port 80 fixed most of the problems...so the port parameter does not work without hard embedding.

This has resulted in Devices being found at least twice....once as Philips Hue White Light and secondly, as Royal Philips Electronics smart device.

In general, it seems that most devices with dimmers are not working. Also, Alexa voice recognistion seems to have taken a backward step as many device names which were recognised are no longer.

Have you been nice to her? Its a women... So bring some flowers / Chocolat / women stuff and make her happy.
You are trying to solve it in a technical way.. perhaps try the flower approach ?

I know that Alexa "learns" your voice and thinks if you do not complain ( so accepted the response ) she thinks she done well.
There is a setting on the website where you can clear the "brains" of Alexa and start a new relationship with her. Perhaps that
might help with the commands she doesn't respond to anymore?
See if you are running the latest version of Alexa?

All those things..... succes !!! Frank
