Hue emulation works with Alexa but she says, "device is not responding"

[halpz]

the sonoff works as expected, for example when I say, "Alexa, lights on" the lights turn on, but Alexa goes on to say "Lights isn't responding" - I think this is because it takes a while for the 'ON' status to be delivered to the echo and alexa thinks there is a problem?

anyone else had / solved this issue?

Thanks

I use ha-bridge and have it configured to send mqtt commands to turn on/off things. I did this because I had a light that was not hue capable but did support mqtt (with another gateway). I have not tried the emulation with Tasmota.

Looks like issue 1429 is similar and there is a fix there. Or, you can use ha-bridge like I do.

Got the exact same issue with version 5.10.0c

[arendst]

Pls try again with 5.10.0d and report progress.

[halpz]

Hello, same problem Here... :(

Same issue on 5.11.1, the devices add no problem and Alexa app shows the status but when sending a command it says not responding.

Wemo emulation works fine but that doesn't work for multi channel devices

I have same issue. 5.11.1b. Alexa can discover and show the device in Alexa app but it cannot control it. Alexa says that the device does not respond and nothing happens when to try and turn on or off. The app shows the correct on or off state of the device so it seems that Tasmota ignores the commands from Alexa

Same symptoms as halpz in the original comment.
Using Hue Bridge emulation on 5.11.1 the sonoff basic works as it should for me with one exception:
When I say, "Alexa, light on" the light turns on but Alexa replies with "light isn't responding".

See my comment on what I think is a duplicate of this #1639

[OFreddy]

See my last comment in #1639, this might fix this issue also.

Heya @arendst ,

it seems like alex ais not sending args to the webserver anymore when changing the state.

i made some debug outputs in the code and received this:

21:33:37 HTP: Hue API (/api/dIUhc67uzIHamo5mYqfQVjkjgRMsvkXeZo4u4Fg/lights/1)
21:33:37 HTP: Hue POST args (NO ARGS)
21:33:37 HTP: Hue API (/api/dIUhc67uzIHamo5mYqfQVjkjgRMsvkXeZo4u4Fg/lights/1/state)
21:33:37 HTP: Hue POST args (NO ARGS)
21:33:37 HTP: Hue API E2 ()
21:33:39 HTP: Hue API (/api/dIUhc67uzIHamo5mYqfQVjkjgRMsvkXeZo4u4Fg/lights/1/state)

21:33:43 HTP: Hue POST args (NO ARGS)

this is state switch on/off from alexa app
/api/dIUhc67uzIHamo5mYqfQVjkjgRMsvkXeZo4u4Fg/lights/1/state

this is request state of device (repeated while device open in alexa app)
/api/dIUhc67uzIHamo5mYqfQVjkjgRMsvkXeZo4u4Fg/lights/1

E2

i could not find out why the args are missing.
