Dear Christian,

From today morning i am not able to use alexa to communicate with my devices in esp8266 using espalexa, I have 4 esp8266, all stopped working at same time since today morning. I checked the serial monitor, the esp8266 gets connected to wifi and tries to communicate with alexa, but when i try giving voice command to turn on or off any device , alexa says that the device is unresponsive. Also tried turning On and OFF through alexa APP, still it show unresponsive under devices. I think alexa has updated itself and blocked the SSDP pls help. My email is samrat.narvekar@gmail.com . Also would like to know when is the new espalexa update become available?

Best Regards

Samrat

Hello all,

I have the exact same issue. I removed the device from Alexa, but when i now want to add a new device, no device is found.
Now all my DIY-Lights are not working anymore :(

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

Tobias

Hi again :)

I think i fixed it. I deleted the Espalexa folder in libraries and redownloaded the master. Then i reopened Arduino and uploaded the code. Now my Light is working again :D

Hope it fixes it for you, too.

Cheers

Update: It worked!!! Thanks, 20pyro00.

steps that I followed:

  1. As suggested by 20pyro00, removed the old Espalexa folder and replaced it with the latest library folder from the master branch.
  2. Closed Arduino and re-opened Arduino with my project.
  3. Compiled/Build and flashed my device.
  4. Rebooted Echo Dot (3rd Gen). - waited for some time to restart the device.
  5. Searched new devices (removed older discovered device), and it got added!

It works fine!

Cheers!!!

Hi @20pyro00, can you please explain the steps? it didn't work for me that way!

Even my issue has resolved, but a miracle, it got resolved on its own, i have 4 esp8266, 1 esp32, with 28 devices. All have stopped together and now all started on its own, this was an alexa issue for sure and they resolved it, because i didnt do much r&d
