Describe the bug

Compiled and deployed FauxmoPhilipsLight_Basic.ino example to a bare PI PICO W, however Alexa cannot discover it

Expected Behavior

New device(s) detected

Steps To Reproduce

Compiled and deployed FauxmoPhilipsLight_Basic.ino to a bare PI PICO W
Confirmed device on network by seeing expected response from http://PI_IP_ADDRESS/api/user/lights
Searched for new devices both from device and Alexa app

Which device have you used?

• Raspberry Pi Pico W
• ESP8266
• ESP32 (This project hasn't been tested on ESP32)

Anything else?

No response

• What version did you use for the Arduino Pico and AsyncTCP_RP2040W?
• What is your Amazon Echo device generation?
• Did you use FauxmoPhilipsLight_Basic.ino with FauxmoPhilipsLight?

Hi, thanks for the message.

'First Release' for the examples code
PI PICO W, and arduino-pico version 3.0.0
AsyncTCP_RP2040W = 1.3.0
Echo Dot, generation 3
Yes: FauxmoPhilipsLight_Basic.ino with FauxmoPhilipsLight?

[MrGreensWorkshop]

Hi,
No problem, I hope you can figure it out.

As I explained in the Readme file, these are the versions that I tested.

• Arduino Pico v2.6.0
• AsyncTCP_RP2040W v1.1.0
• gen 1 and gen 2 devices.

I also mentioned that, since I only have first and second generation Amazon Echo devices, I didn't test with third generation devices.

All I can say is to try the same versions that I tested.

Understood, will give that a try.
When you were writing this, did you have any issues with state change commands being sent, your code responding to the change with success, the Alexa app showing a state change, and then shortly after showing "Device is unresponsive"? I'm writing a micropython port and can't get state changes to 'stay'

When using the Alexa app, please give it a little time. Sometimes exiting the menu and opening the device again helps refresh its state. As I demonstrate in the YouTube video, reading the status of lights works as expected.
