Try out 1.4.0 and see if this error persists please.

Hi,
Not sure if adding to a closed issue is acceptable...

(Each HA startup puts about 200 lines into the log, but I think I read you are still working other issues with .97.)

If there's anything I can add to this, please advise.

Pi: hassbian 4.19.58-v7+
python_version: 3.7.3
HA version: 0.97.1
alexa_media: version = '1.4.1'

[alandtse]

I'll see if additional checks are needed for this.

[genem2]

I was wondering if there was something I could provide you to help with this. Am I the only one still getting all these?
I have a log file create with:

custom_components.media_player.alexa: debug
alexapy: debug

Truth be told, I'm not sure if posting the log here discloses acct-specific info.
From what I can see in that log, nothing strange appears before the std complaints logged at eact start:

Pi 3, Hassbian,

[alandtse]

@genem2 Are you still on 1.4.x? We actually did some changes when we went to 2.x that should stop this from happening. The logs you posted don't have anything private but we probably need to understand what happened before this snippet

Was there any other errors like a reconnect or disconnect?

(edit for grammar).

[genem2]

No, no. I check on this after each HACS update.
Today I'm at: version = '2.0.1'

any other errors like a reconnect or disconnect?

No, just the expected:

One of these for each of my two accounts.

[alandtse]

Oh wait. Do the two accounts share echo devices? We may not have a check for that.

[genem2]

They do not.

[alandtse]

@genem2 can you try the fix I just staged? You'll need to replace 4 files. No worries if you can't, I'll just stage it in the next release so hopefully I'll finally resolve this old bug.

[genem2]

So, in .homeassistant\custom_components\alexa_media
I updated:

• alarm_control_panel.py
• media_player.py
• switch.py

And added:

• helpers.py

Also removed the earlier pycache (not sure if that would trip us up.)
See attached log.
NewLog.txt

[alandtse]

Your debug logging setting is wrong. Please see here.

Specifically,

custom_components.media_player.alexa: debug
Is the wrong line for the latest version.

Can you please fix the line and reattach?

[genem2]

So sorry. Corrected; new log attached.
190901-1914-log.txt

[alandtse]

@genem2 another version for you to try. I think the issue is coming from the fact you have multiple accounts. Some wires are getting crossed so I need to add additional checks.

[genem2]

I'm not finding the thread at the moment, but I comment in another (pre 2.0?)
It was issue #180 that I mentioned I was not having the ID's report unless I used my second acct. I only have that other one to support an Echo installed remotely in a somewhat public area. I don't have to worry about my Amazon acct, and have HA visibility to that, allows me to stop anyone playing music late night.

So, updated: __init__.py
alarm_control_panel.py
helpers.py

Here are some logs:
190902-0912-Both Accts.txt
190902-0909-Just Main Acct.txt
190902-0911-Just Secondary Acct.txt

[alandtse]

@genem2 ok, i refactored the way we load devices. Can you try the latest version in #324 please? Thanks again for all your help in testing.

[genem2]

Awesome. Many thanks, @alandtse and @niemyjski for spending time on this work. Resolved!
Greatly appreciated.
