Anyone else with Alexa / HA Bridge oddity
-
100% sure this is an Alexa issue, but just wanted to see if anyone else has it:
Alexa, turn $device on
$device turns on
'$device is not responding. Check its power supply and network connection'Alexa, turn $device off
$device turns off.
'OK'This happens with Alexa groups as well as HA Bridge devices.....

I have seen that before. I run my own Hue Bridge Emulator within a docker and I believe the issue was narrowed down to having multiple generations of Echo devices on my network. This would cause my $device to appear multiple times within the Alexa app. Amazon had a sale on echo dots, and also gave trade in credits, so I was able to take advantage of that and upgrade my Gen 1 and Gen 2 dots to Gen 3 at about $10 each. Once all my generations were the same, I cleaned up the known devices and initiated a discovery again. Every once in a while I get something similar to below, but it doesn't happen very often.
Alexa, turn $device on
$device does not turn on
'$device is not responding. Check its power supply and network connection'Alexa, turn $device on
$device turns on
'OK'
