Alexa couldn't discover emulated wemo devices anymore?

I don't own any echo devices, but I have an Alexa enabled fire TV. So I tried to discover my fauxmoESP_Basic example flashed esp8266 using fire TV, Alexa app and even echosim (echosim.io). None of these methods could find the device. I am pretty sure the fauxmoESP_Basic example was running correctly.

Did I miss anything? Do I really need an echo to play with fauxmoESP? Or should I enable any smart home skills first?

Please help, Thank you!

The wemos support is built-in in the Echo or Dot device. It's not a "cloud feature" that could be used by any Alexa powered device. I'm not sure it would work with any devices. I know, for instance, that it doesn't work with an AlexaPi device because it's only using the cloud features and has no built-in support for wemos.

I just bought an Echo. And I tried it out successfully. Yes, any Echo devices is a must. Thank you.
