Third party integrations

Hi All,

I got HA Yellow last month Feb 2025 (moved on from Samsung ST), updated the core and all up to date.
Spent a lot of hours configuring through HA forum on added Emulated HUE and updated Config file. Tested that entities are exposed, however, no matter what I tried, Alexa does never pick it up, never able to discover devices.

PLs let me know if i am missing anything:
below is the config file updated
It works and give me exposed entities when i ping - http:///api/v2/lights
Tried then discovery on Alexa device and app. no success.

please help, appreciate it.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
emulated_hue:
  host_ip: <IP ADD>
  listen_port: 80
  off_maps_to_on_domains:
    - script
    - scene
  expose_by_default: false
  entities:
    switch.in_wall_outlet_tr_500s_7:
     name: “right stand“
     hidden: false
    switch.in_wall_outlet_tr_500s_5:
     name: “left stand“
     hidden: false

those are invalid quote characters. Just remove them, they aren’t needed anyways.

“25”: {
“state”: {
“on”: false,
“reachable”: true,
“mode”: “homeautomation”
},
“name”: “right stand”,
“uniqueid”: “00:cc:46:62:56:58:ff:21-12”,
“manufacturername”: “Home Assistant”,
“swversion”: “123”,
“type”: “On/Off light”,
“productname”: “On/Off light”,
