Re: [mh] Alexa bridge suddenly stopped working

Paul,

 

Perhaps my setup is a bit different.   I am using bwssystem’s  ha-bridge Java program to provide the bridge emulation :

 

 <https://github.com/armzilla/amazon-echo-ha-bridge> https://github.com/armzilla/amazon-echo-ha-bridge  

 

It has an habridge.config file that stores the bridge configuration including the Port.  It can also be changed from the habridge web interface.

 

You may be using a different bridge emulator, but I’ll bet the issue is the same.   I am running an old version of mh and have my echo integration running outside of misterhouse.

I hope that helps!

 

Ron

Ron,

What did you have to do to configure for port 80? I have included 

 

mh.private.ini:alexaHttpPort = 80  

 

in my mh.private.ini but still see 

 

09/20/19 10:42:34 AM [Alexa] Debug: Configured for port 8080

 

during startup and am still unable to discover any devices.

 

Thanks

Paul

Dan,   I had the same issue.   I think Amazon may have pushed changed out to the Echo devices.   It would appear that they require the bridge to be on port 80.   I had mh on 80 and the bridge on 8080.   I started seeing unusually request in the mh http server log that I think were meant for the bridge.  The quick fix for me was to put mh on 8080 and the bridge on 80.     Hopefully Amazon will correct this and I can go back to my default configuration.   

 

Hope this helps.

Subject: [mh] Alexa bridge suddenly stopped working

 

Been using the Alexa bridge to MH for well over a year without issues.  It was the last piece I needed to complete

my HA integration. 

 

Tuesday of last week, 9/10, it suddenly stopped working.  A request is answered with "Devicename is not responding, please check

its network connection..."  I tried debugging, but so far have not found a reason.  

It seems like Echo/Alexa does not even attempt to connect the the bridge.  I did add a  bogus device and asked 

Echo to discover devices, I do see traffic to MH at that point, but Echo comes back with"No new devices".

 

Alexa app on my Android phone shows "Server is unresponsive".

 

Has anyone else experienced this?  

 

Thanks

Dan
