What is currently best way to use Amazon Echo/Alexa

Configuration
21

you have a hardware hue hub??

22

this is the log

16-11-25 23:03:30 homeassistant.components.emulated_hue: Listen IP address not specified, auto-detected address is 192.168.1.12

the correct IP address of the HA server

23

My items that show in Alexa from HA show up as “dimmable light” instead of Lightify or Wink.

24

I have a real hub and an emulated hue. The output that I gave the link to is your emulated hue.

25

Yes the IP I gave is of the HA server

26

I have HA on Windows 10, it can be the cause of failure?

Anyway I ordered a Pi

27

today this

500 Internal Server Error

Server got itself in trouble

28

I also ran into an Emulated Hue / Real Hue issue. My router would only see the Emulated Hue, with the real Hue hub no longer showing up on the Almond+'s hue list.
Not sure if there is a way to differentiate them in HASS…

29

Stupid question… They have different IP addresses. Right?

30

yes
HA 192.168.1.12
Hue Bridge 192.168.1.80

31

I have all static IP assigned to MAC addresses (almost all of them). FOr sure HA server and Hue bridge are assigned

32

The above error went away now, now it shows correctly only the switche. Is it correct that they have assigned DIMMABLE LIGHT type?

{“switch.p11_asus”: {“modelid”: “HASS123”, “name”: “Asus Ufficio”, “state”: {“bri”: 255, “on”: true, “reachable”: true}, “swversion”: “123”, “type”: “Dimmable light”, “uniqueid”: “switch.p11_asus”}, “switch.p12_hue”: {“modelid”: “HASS123”, “name”: “Hue hub e Extender P12”, “state”: {“bri”: 255, “on”: true, “reachable”: true}, “swversion”: “123”, “type”: “Dimmable light”, “uniqueid”: “switch.p12_hue”}, “switch.p13_projector”: {“modelid”: “HASS123”, “name”: “Living Projector P13”, “state”: {“bri”: 255, “on”: true, “reachable”: true}, “swversion”: “123”, “type”: “Dimmable light”, “uniqueid”: “switch.p13_projector”}, “switch.samsung_blu_ray”: {“modelid”: “HASS123”, “name”: “Samsung Blu Ray”, “state”: {“bri”: 0, “on”: false, “reachable”: true}, “swversion”: “123”, “type”: “Dimmable light”, “uniqueid”: “switch.samsung_blu_ray”}, “switch.tv”: {“modelid”: “HASS123”, “name”: “Panasonic TV”, “state”: {“bri”: 0, “on”: false, “reachable”: true}, “swversion”: “123”, “type”: “Dimmable light”, “uniqueid”: “switch.tv”}}

33

Same here. I try to keep everything that is home automation-related locked into a specific IP either statically at client where possible or via static/reserved leases at the router end.

34

all of mine coming from HA show as dimmable light.

35

With the latest update, it became much easier to use the emulated hue bridge component, without the ha-bridge.

see my example config here:
