Alexa and strange behaviour

Third party integrations
1

Hi guys,

i’m succesful using my HA instance with Alexa and HA Cloud. But i’ve a strange behaviour using a Philips HUE led strip (exposed to Alexa via HA and not via HUE Bridge).

Essentialy on first power on of the strip, if i’m asking this sentece “Alexa power on bed white”, Alexa don’t give me any “error feedback”. Asking again to “Alexa set bed blue” and no error… but when i’m asking “Alexa set bed white”, it set the LED in white color but then give me a feedback error like “There was an error in setting… blabla”.

Do you know how I can debug this strange issue?

Thanks!

i’ve done some debugging… put Cloud components in debug there are the messages:
