not discovering

[jxer]

im using

https://www.ebay.com/itm/NodeMCU-V3-Lua-WIFI-Module-ESP8266-32M-Extra-Memory-Flash-USB-Serial-CH340G/222612803340?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

and im getting no where. everything seems to be working just no discovery by alexa

anywhere i can troubleshoot this?

i tried my normal wifi and a hotspot

all i get is

Connecting to WiFi Connecting .... Connected to VWifi IP address: 10.26.0.10 Ask Alexa to discover devices

Connecting to UDP Connection successful HTTP Server started ..

some more info, very confused, if i browse to the ip/setup.xml it comes right up, but neither the computer nor the phones /iphone/s7 can discover it in the app, nor do i see any response in the serial port

let me add something, i do not currently have any form of dot/echo etc. is that required before any device will show up? im not getting any error so i have no idea.

i have a firetv, not that its helping either

I'm experiencing the same problem. Don't own a dot yet either.

I'm being told that a dot/echo is required. as the discovery packet comes from the dot/echo, not the app. i wish someone could confirm
