Having trouble again with alexa

(1/2) > >>

bobbyds1:
I am again having trouble with alexa controlling devices it tells me to check the internet connection every time. from within ha-bridge i can turn on and off all devices. but from my tablet running the alexa app when i try to access any of my devices to try to turn them on i get a logo of phillips hue scrolling for a while then under each device it says device is unresponsive. I tried deleteing each device one at a time reboot pi then have alexa discover new devices after it discovers them there all doubled. and alexa still is not able to turn them on.  any ideas.

brobin:
When you tire of the frustration of using HA-Bridge >*< for Alexa control install a dedicated and skill supported Alexa bridge to work with HG or any other controller.

bobbyds1:
do you have any suggestions?

For the last couple of years I've been using the Smartenit Harmony P2 as an Alexa Bridge.  It can operate as a stand alone controller or with any other controller.  I guess I was the first to bring it up on the forum and a number of others are using it now.  If you search for Smartenit there are a number of threads here.  The P2 and the required 2412U PLM are bundled for $59.99 and can be found at:

https://smartenit.com/shop/zigbee-insteon-x10-multi-protocol-gateway-hub/

To order, select "Add Insteon/X10 with powerline only PLM" for the bundled price as shown below.

do you need to run raspberry pi with this.
