Alexa can't find a specific device
fparrav opened this issue · comments
I have 2 instances of homebridge running on the same raspberry pi (ports 51826 and 51827) the Alexa plugin runs on instance 51827 and the instance filter is configured as "filter": "10.0.0.202:51827" (this being the ip from my raspberry), The problem is that I have a broadlink rm4 mini device that controls a TV but Alexa can't find it, strangely the learn code switches if it finds them. Apparently the Homebridge Accessory Dump does not expose this TV.
Homebridge Broadlink RM Pro config:

I understand, so the error is the homebridge-broadlink-rm ?. What is the requirement for a plugin to be exposed by homebridge to Alexa?
The tv is using a different port, so your filter setting is filtering it out
Thank you very much, indeed that was the problem, I changed the filter to deny the devices of the first instance and it could already detect TV in Alexa.
