pimatic-echo device with id XX not found

---

Hey there,
i have a strange behavior with my echo dot2, echo spot and pimatic-echo. A couple of days ago i changed some devices in my pimatic config. After that i wanted to recreate my Smarthome devices for my echos. So i deleted all Smarthome devices on the website of Alexa. After that i stopped pimatic, deleted the echo-database on my raspberry pi and restarted pimatic. To be sure that i don’t get my devices multiple times i switched off my echo spot and let only my echo dot gen2 search for new devices. Echo told me that it has found 25 devices. OK but when i check this online i can see 27 devices. Some devices are listed twice! Pimatic tells me in my log file “device with id 23 not found”.

Does anybody know how to solve this issue?

Regards daice

Hi,

I had the same problem.

You have to delete each device individually on the alexa website.

The function discard all devices does not always work.

It worked for me by deleting each device individually.

The reason for this is, that pimatic-echo assigns an unique index to every device. If you remove devices and restart pimatic, the indexes will be created again. Since Amazon uses the „old“ indexes, all devices with a missing index can’t be found anymore. I‘m planning to fix this soon, but haven’t found the right solution for this yet.
