@Ian - I’ve had Hue Emulation working perfectly fine controlling 37 lights/switches for many years, and suddenly one of my lights stopped working via voice about a week ago. Everything else continued to function via voice commands. Removing and attempting rediscovery of just the one item didn’t work at all, so I went nuclear and removed every OpenHAB device in the Alexa App, changed the Hue Emulation bridge ID, and retried starting fresh. Currently experiencing the same issues as you described with ‘stacking’ of discovered items ever since. Alexa claims to have discovered only 4 out of the 37 in my case, but as you click into each item (i.e. a Light name in the App) the label changes to something different. Whenever I attempt deleting within the App and a new one immediately appears repeatedly, again with a different name, such as’ Kitchen Lights’, but when clicking on the item in the App it shows up as ‘Bedroom Lights’. I’ve never seen such behavior before, and I don’t believe you are doing anything wrong… Saw you chimed in here too:
In my case, the Amazon Echo after discovery reports 4 devices, but when I remove items from the App, I have to keep doing this loop of deleting stacked items 37 times to get everything removed.
@MikeJMajor - thanks again for helping me a long while back with other Hue Emulation related issues. It seems as though something has changed with how Alexa’s are conducting discovery recently, which clearly has broken integration/discovery with the v4.2.x Hue Emulation binding (can confirm the same behavior with v4.2.0 and the latest v4.2.2), and have had the exact same problems with both gen4 and gen5 Amazon Echos. If the OpenHAB devices were previously discovered, they continued to work with Alexa, but after starting fresh I can confirm rediscovery today is screwy to say the least. Will chime in on this thread too if I come across anything of significance.
Best regards,
