For days, I have tried with Emulated Hue and Haaska. Any help is greately appreciated. I am very close to surrendering.
Haaska
I managed to see some devices in Alexa at one point. but I was never able to change the state of any devices in HA. As I looked through Alexa devices and scenes, the HA devices that did appear had notations saying something about the server being unresponsive.
Emulated Hue.
My understanding is that turning on Emulated Hue is simply a matter of adding lines to configuration.yaml and enabling Alexa’s Hue skill. Is that really all? Because when I try to do the troubleshooting steps from here I get a 404 error. (i.e. browse to http://10.0.0.36:80/description.xml or http://10.0.0.36:80/api/v2/lights)
