[SOLVED] Unable to expose new items with tags for Alexa, Exception thrown

@idkpmiller

so please can someone point me to the post chain that assists me with solving my issue

[Hue Emulation] Items with Switchable tag are not discovered

Amazon is slowly fading out local Hue support apparently (and especially now as they have Echo Plus etc). Some devices can still recognise Osram Plugs, others can’t. There is no pattern. Workaround is of course to change the tag for Switchables to “Lighting”.

or use this as a workaround:

[Hue Emulation] Items with Switchable tag are not discovered

This hadn’t worked for me, so I’d changed ‘Switch item tags’ from Switchable to Lighting. After seeing your post, I tried again and it still didn’t work. Then I noticed you didn’t have a space separating them, and it worked. So for others using this workaround, don’t put a space between the tags!
