Does Fauxmo work with non-Echo emulators like Alexa AVS or Echoism.io?

[MopheusDG]

• RPi3 - Pixel
• Python updated to 3.5.3
• Latest here using "pip3 install fauxmo"

I've been going crazy trying to make this work with Alexa AVS running on the same RPi that Fauxmo with no luck. Tried setting Fauxmo to use Wifi IP and Alexa on LAN IP but nothing.... Anyone has any idea if it's possible to get it working ? I don't have my Echo cause it's not available in my country yet but I thought this should work in the meantime.

Fauxmo seams to be running fine but can't find any smart devices.

Any ideas ? What to look for ? What can I be doing wrong ?

Thanks a lot !

Hello,

Sorry you're having trouble. Please include:

• Specific Fauxmo version (critical for future readers of the thread, when the "latest" version has changed)
• Your Fauxmo config
• Your debug log

A little information about AVS would be nice -- I'm not familiar with it or how it works.

Total speculation, but I bet there's a way to get this to work, but I also bet that you'll need to be familiar with some network capture tools (tshark, tcpdump) to figure out exactly what's going wrong.

I wonder if AVS ignores it because it has the same ip address? Have you considered binding the two services to different IPs?

Fauxmo not detectable by Echo simulator (reword), Amazon Alexa web site here as well as Raspberry Pi 3 with AVS installed. The Pi was tested with basic Alexa functions like time and weather as well as a TP-Link power plug. Likely the issue is b/c I am not using an actual Echo.

As stated before, I don't think Fauxmo works with non-echo devices. I'll try to test with Echoism, I don't have an AVS device to test with but other users have had similar reports. Anybody that gets it working with AVS is encouraged to chime in here.

Re-opened to remind me to test with Echoism, and add info to the README regarding not working with AVS / Echo emulators.

Does not seem to recognize Echoism at all.
