Hi Folks,

I was out of commission for the last year.  So i loaded alex10, ahp, java, ha bridge. Devices work fine but Alexa doesnt find them.  What am i missing?  Thxs Mike

Did you enable the Philips Hue Skill in the Alexa app? If not, do that and then tell Alexa to "discover devices."

Hi
When i try to enable Phillips hue it cant find a bridge?

Actually, I just checked my Alexa app and I don't actually have the Hue skill in there so I was wrong about that. Did you change the IP address in Alex10 Setup to match your PC's?

[mike1]

Yes, Alex10 triggers switches fine. But alexa will not find devices.

From T's site: Be sure your firewall is setup correctly for Java as that is the main reason Alexa doesn't discover devices. Also be sure your PC has a static IP.

Have a look at the info on Tuicemen's site here: http://forums.tuicemen.net/index.php?board=119.0

Glad that helped. I know that dimming is supposed to work but neither T nor I have played with it as we both don't use dimming.  In fact, I don't use Alexa for direct control of any X10 devices. I use X10 codes to trigger events/scenes in my Stargate which takes care of any dimming.
