Re: [mh] Help for Alexa Integration - Hue Emulation

Gianni

I am also running on a Raspberry PI , I don't believe there is a 
firewall, I certainly haven't set anything up.
I have a mixture of alexas 4th gen, 3rd gen dot and 2nd gen dot. I 
usually turn all off bar one when discovering and use the 2nd gen or 4th 
gen, it doesn't seem to make any difference which.
I'm sure someone else on the list will be able to interpret your logs, 
its a bit beyond me.
