I think something has changed on the Alexa side which is causing problems.

I’ve found a thread which seems to be discussing a similar problem with ha-bridge, but there doesn’t seem to be a solution yet.

Alexa cannot discover devices which used to work.

question

I apologize if this should have been a reply to another issue, but I have been r…eading quite a few threads on discovery issues and none of them seem to explain what is happening. I had been using HA Bridge for quite a few years, most recently version 5.3, with a couple of devices on a Raspberry Pi 3 B. The day before yesterday, Alexa on my Echo Dot started reporting that the devices were not responding. I started digging into this, and confirmed that the devices still responded through the HA Bridge web interface. So, I deleted the devices from the Alexa app and tried to rediscover them. Initially, it looked like this wasn't working because because of a warning about the UPNP IP address about matching a known address on the host, but I was able to fix that by removing a Wi-Fi dongle from the Pi that I didn't need anyway, and resetting the hostname. I also upgraded the bridge to version 5.4. However, the discovery will still not work. I believe I have tried everything in the troubleshooting page at least once. In particular, I have verified that my Netgear Nighthawk X6 router has UPNP enabled, and the bridge is using a static IP. The logs are interesting. In this case, the Pi running the bridge is IP address 192.168.1.110, the Echo is .14, and my Synology NAS is .12. You can see that the Echo does request a list of the lights, but I don't see a response.

My friend was over trying to help me with this issue yesterday and he tried to see if we could discover the devices with the Anymote app on his cell phone connected to my network. He was able to, but I wasn't able to do that later. Any help would be most appreciated.
