Hi @Petediscrete. Strangely this error repeated infinitely is also present with HGEB deactivated.
As you advised me I will try further port numbers. (I tried with ports from 8085 to 8089).
“If you can open the HG api without having to sign in the HGEB service should connect to HA without a problem.”
Please, could you kindly describe the procedure?
That is correct. The username and password in HG should be blank so it is not requiring sign in credentials from HGEB.
Read back on this topic to find out how people got it to work.
Hello
What type of amazon device are you using to connect to HGEB?
IanR
Roberto, could you upload your systemconfig.xml file?
Hi Bounz, here the systemconfig.xml file From my RPI2 and RPI3:

Hello @IanR, ECHO Input.
The problem is that the HGEB icon remains Dark Gray …
UPNP Emulator recognizes devices, so I think HGEB should recognize them as well. (The problem with UPNP Emulator is that at every RPI restart, the devices stop working, so you need to delete and search again for new devices).
Excuse me @Petedescrete, I think I did not correctly interpret your previous message. I did not intend to ask you the procedure to install HGHB of which I have already read several times the many explanations in previous posts.
In reference to the Username, I do not know what the reason is, but, also after the new installation, it is automatically set to “Admin”. I tried to remove it from the “Maintenance” menu, but I could not.
Thanks again for all your suggestions.
Check your /systemconfig.xml file to see what credentials if any are set for admin
Hi @petediscrete, As I said, even after the new installation the user name has been automatically set to “admin”. I tried to disable it via the “maintenance” menu, but I could not remove it.
Do you know a method to remove it by editing a file?
(I had also tried to modify the file “Systemconfing.xml” replacing “Admin” with “”. But the “Admin” user is reproposed immediately afterwards).
Try changing admin to something else, save it and restart HomeGenie. If that new user name holds try deleting it and then try installing HGEB and configuring it and enabling it before you restart HG again. This will mean that when you install, enable HGEB and start the discovery service there will be no user name or password present in HG.
@Petediscrete. I believe a step forward has been made. I managed to delete the admin user by changing it to another name before deleting it. Thank you.
The problem is that the icon is still dark gray and I have no more ideas on what tests I can do. I have also tried to changed many settings on the router, but nothing.
I think the problem lies in the error that is repeated to infinity “HTTP binding failed” that I can not understand what it depends on. I changed all the possible ports, and I get the error in both raspberry, even with HGEB disabled.
These are the errors from the log after the last configurations, please, maybe you have some ideas?:

@roberto1979 the answer is in the log. You are trying to connect to a port that is already in use.
Configure HG to use a port that is not already in use by some other service on your LAN. Then configure HGEB to use the same number you used in HG.
Now that you have figured how to clear the user name and password in HG I suggest that you start with a fresh install of HG. Then clear the user name and password and from there follow the procedure to install HGEB.
@Petediscrete, thank you for your kindness to always answer the questions.
The truthfulness of your answer is indeed obvious. However, having tested many ports, I can not explain how all the ports can already be used, and from which services. I will try immediately with additional ports, but in your opinion there is perhaps the possibility that the ports are not in use but perhaps somehow blocked by the router, by the Nat, or for some other reason on the lan? Would you like to tell me kindly if there is a way to check from the terminal the ports in use (or those not used) in the lan? (Similar to “netstat -lnptu/-lt” but doing a search across the entire Lan?
Try sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN
@Petediscrete,
thank you. Unfortunately, the lsof command is not recognized by raspbian.Anyway, after other tests, I’m almost sure that “the address already in use” reported in the log does not derive from the port already used. In fact, I tried with at least 15 other ports that gave me the same error. Finally, I also tried with port 1083. Using port 1083 with MQTT I have no connection problem, while disabling MQTT and enabling port 1083 for HGHB I also get the same error with this one.
I have lost all hope of being able to identify and solve this problem, and I am almost convinced that maybe it could depend on my network.
Do you have any other services running on your Raspberry Pi other than HG. Is HG binding to its configured port before you install HGEB. Disable HGEB for the moment. What does the log tell you now.
No other service besides HG on Raspberry.
Disabling HGEB the log is almost identical, same error “HTTP bining failed” and same all other errors … Missing only MIG HGEB error above:

Hello
This may be a stupid question but have you tried using port 80?
As when looking at the original HAbridge forum it has been reported that most new Alexa only work on port 80.
I can confirm I have only got my echo to work on port 80.

Sounds like your routers firewall is blocking the HG service if it’s not binding to any port.
Check your routers rules and ensure it allows the HG connect.
If you haven’t already done so, I’d start again with a fresh install of Raspbian Lite and HG. Maybe something has crept into your system that is preventing HG from connecting after making all the changes.
You now understand what you need to do to install HGEB into HG so as soon as you have completed a fresh install it should be quite straightforward getting HGEB to work.
