Broadlink RM Pro for X10 with Alexa (Device is unresponsive)

(1/2) > >>

OLDX10er:
I successfully set up the Broadlink RM Pro to control my X10 devices earlier this year and had it integrated with Alexa.  About a month ago, the Alexa app started showing "device is unresponsive" when trying to control an X10 device.  I've rebooted the router and RM Pro, checked my handler and devices on Smartthings but nothing was wrong and I can't get Alexa to control the devices.  e-control and IHC both work fine and the RM Bridge is still running.  Has anyone else had this problem or more importantly solved it?

Tuicemen:
I had similar issues using the HA-Bridge to send Boadlink commands and found setting up an IP reservation in my router for the Broadlink solved this.

OLDX10er:
If you mean setting a static IP address for the RM Pro I've done that already.

Tuicemen:
if you have the IP for the Broadlink set in your router then restart the rm bridge  make sure what ever the Rm bridge is running on also has its IP reserved.
I stopped using RM bridge as soon as HA-Bridge added support for the Broadlink (one fewer hardware things to get messed up) if an IP or port has changed you smartthings devices handler will not work until the correct IP & port are added to it.
If your router is cappable of loopback you cah manualy try to send a command to the broadlink using the ip& port in your devicehandler.

OLDX10er:
I have static addresses for both the RM Bridge device and the RM Pro.  Smartthings is logging the Alexa requests but the RM Pro doesn't seem to be getting them.  I did find that my externally accessible IPV4 address had changed but correcting it did not solve the problem.

Something odd is happening at Smartthings.  I edited my handler this morning but when I just logged in again i had no handlers and no devices.  I logged out and back in and my handler was back but no devices.  I really don't want to recreate all of my devices do I'll wait awhile and see what happens.
