Hue Emulate - Alexa says "device unresponsive"

Hi all,

Pretty much as the title says. Ive got Alexa to see my two switches and they can turn “on” but then become unresponsive afterwards.

http://192.168.XXX.XXX/api/v2/lights

Shows the devices in the JSON. I’ve enabled UPnP on my router, but still none the wiser on how to stop the devices from becoming unresponsive; anyone got any ideas on this? I’ve trawled the forums and reddit but most stuff seems to be back in 2019, so assuming an update has happened since then?

I set this up recently, and it requires http port 80 to be free/open. If there is a conflict with something else on port 80, the hue emulator won’t work right.

Most reverse proxies need port 80. I had to reconfigure my reverse proxy to use a different port (like 8080) and then update port forwarding settings on the router to resolve the conflict.

Otherwise I’d suspect some sort of network or firewall issue. I really wish it didn’t use port 80 but on Alexa that’s the only one that works
