Emulate Hue not discovered by Alexa

Hello,

I know there has been a million and one posts about this, and I tried multiple work arounds, including buying a echo dot 2, but Im not able to discover the emulated hue with alexa, I even try the alexa v1 setup and still no go, not able to discover anything.

Interesting enough, on the same network but a different amazon account, I have dot 4 and initially it was able to discover devices(oh about 1 year ago, and god knows how many HA versions ago), and it still works, still able to control and I think finds new devices…
What can I possible do ? I dont want to expose my HA instance via port 443, and trying to avoid to pay for the cloud…

I think I even see it in mdns (altho it could be my v2 hub, not sure yet)

This is what Im currently on.

Is new setup for emulated_hue not possible at all now ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I was finally able to fix the issue, and it was due to multicast on the vm side + I did need dot 2 as well. But I got it sorted out now I think…
