@Bounz followed your link to download EchoBridge zip. Installed it and in the drop down configuration the only option box available IPAddress which defaults to not used.
Where’s the option to change port
Hello
@Petediscrete
The port change is in EchoBridge under the IP address.
@Bounz
Yes I have changed the IP and the port number to that used by HG e.g. 192.168.1.2 and 8080
The server that HG is on has another program that serves UPnP will this affect the bridge/Alexa?
IanR
@IanR a little confusing for some setting a port number in a box with a title IPAddress. What version of HG are you using. There’s Bounz fork and Genes latest version which now includes an UPnP library which may cause problems with EchoBridge.
@Bounz would it be possible to update the EchoBridge MIG 1.2 version to reflect that it’s actually the port number that can be changed and not the IPAddress.
@IanR AFAIK there should be no problem with other UPnP servers/programs.
@Petediscrete I can’t check it right now, but as I remember there should be two inputs (one for IP address and other for port number) with correlated titles. I will check this as soon as I’ll be at home.
@Petediscrete
Sorry for confutation there are two boxes one IP and bellow that Port.

Versions:
HG BE = 1.1.15
Bridge = from link above

@IanR downloaded EchoBridge as per Bounz link. In the configuration section drop down box there’s only one option IPAddress to select. There’s no option to configure Port.
@Bounz any idea why the option to select port is missing on the EchoBridge MIG. I downloaded the latest version as per your link
Yes, I have an idea)
- Disable EchoBridge interface in UI
- Restart HG service
- Make sure that EchoBridge is still disabled
- Repeat interface installation procedure: upload zip file and install it in UI
Tried that. It made no difference. You made a change to give an option to set a port for HG. What version did you commit that change too.
It’s there in the last release of EchoBridge, available at GitHub. You can verify this by extracting archive somewhere and looking at configlet.html file: there will be input for the port number.
If it’s possible - you can PM me logs of your HG after installation of EchoBridge interface, maybe there will be something useful.
Tried this download link 404 error https://github.com/davidwallis3101/HomegenieEchoBridge/tree/master/MIG-Interface/Output
Has David changed something I wonder
Hello
The link I used was https://github.com/davidwallis3101/HomegenieEchoBridge/releases/tag/HomegenieEchoBridge-v1.0.21
I have tried the reinstallations as @Bounz instructions but still no devises found by Alexa.
Are there any particular programs that need to be on. I have all programs disabled.

@Bounz I uninstalled HG and reinstalled it again. I installed EchoBridge again and the two options are showing now. All I need to do now is get it working. Thanks Bounz.
@IanR not sure but I have a version 1.2 installed. You may be having a problem with the Mono version you have installed.
IanR - edit the systemconfig.xml file and remove the reference to the hgechobridge interface…
install the new one and then post up the HG log.
It’s ok, 1.2 is a “version” written down in readme file while 1.0.21 - is a build number and it’s the latest build.
No, all files are there, the problem is that some variable has null value while it’s expected to have a reference to a real object. Please, try to perform actions, suggested by David.
Might be worth having a read of this GitHub. All is not equal in the Alexa device world it appears. Factors like what Alexa device you own, what generation it is and what country you purchased it in seems to make a difference on your rate of success getting it to work https://github.com/NorthernMan54/homebridge-alexa/issues/32

I cant even find the file Interfaces.List within the homegenie directory’s. to check it…
It looks to be resaving the request from Alexa.
I am using an Amazon Echo (2nd Gen) - Smart speaker with Alexa.
IanR
So what exactly have you got installed. Are you saying you have HG, EchoBridge and HA Bridge installed on the same unit.
