Having issues running 2.1.0 trying to communicate with Vera about amazon-echo-ha-bridge HOT 9 OPEN

It might also help to know that my Green Test buttons in the bottom of the configurator work, while the blue test buttons next to the current devices in configurator don't work...

makes me think this is a problem with the url you are trying to hit.
can you provide the result of a GET on http://:8080/api/devices ?

@mfiumano I am by no means proposing a solution to your problem, but I wanted to mention that I have found the Echo responds and works better when I name my devices without the word 'Light'. You used "Family Room Light", I'd suggest "Family Room" instead. The word 'Light' is a trigger word for the Echo.

Ok, thank you, i don't think that is the problem in this case, since my logs scroll on the RPi Hue Bridge and look like Echo 'got it' and is sending the right thing to the RPi, although the Bridge doesn't seem to be sending the right thing out to the Vera. Missing a 'Target Host' or something or other.... But it is definitely something to consider moving forward to make sure that Echo 'gets it' consistently. I was thinking that having three words might be too much for it anyway..... 'Living + Room + Light'.

@mfiumano You mentioned the Green Test buttons work, while the Blue Buttons do not. Have you tried the Green Test buttons when you "Edit" one of your existing devices?

There's a good chance I'm just an idiot. Not sure, but when i got home it was working.....sigh.

At least it's working! That's the ultimate goal.

@audiofreak9 I dont seem to have an issue with naming anything with lights. Occasionally I get the there is more than one device with the name light. I think if Alexa hears your wording clearly she does the command more often than not without the more than one device prompt. If this happens more than a few times I generally just clear and rediscover. I have only had to do this once though. Just speak clearly and more slowly. Not deep down south slow, but slow enough after the Alexa prompt. Also training Alexa may help. I have only done this in my bedroom because I tend to speak more softly in there so I dont wake my significant other.
