fauxmo with alexa-avs on Raspberry Pi

[Nishad009]

Hi, I have setup alexa on Raspberry Pi using the steps mentioned in https://github.com/alexa/alexa-avs-sample-app/wiki/Setting-up-the-Raspberry-Pi and able to execute basic alexa skills like "what is the weather".

Now I am trying to add basic home skills to Raspberry-Pi like "turn on kitchen light". I have tried to run fauxmo.py in same Raspberry-Pi. But the dummy devices are not listed while searching devices through "Discover device" option (tried with both web interface & alexa Android app). Is it possible to use "fauxmo.py" on same Pi3 device to setup dummy devices?

Anyone have an answer to this?

I am trying something very similar. My RPi3-with-AVS not detecting the Fauxmo (on my linux box for testing for now) also, and the UPnP is not blocked on my router. I am not sure is the fireware on the real Echo is different than the java client sample app.

Same problem. I'm trying to run it with the AVS Device SDK on the same RPi3. No devices are detected. So far sadly I haven't found any proof that this could/should work. I just wanted to be able to trigger simple commands/scripts on the same RPi3 where Alexa is running.

Anyone know of any other options? Ha-bridge also supports only the physical echo devices.

I am also trying the same thing (AVS and Fauxmo inside RPi). I was able to make it work by adding first the device (fauxmo) using an Echo device. It is not working with Alexa app only. Then I turned off my Echo device, test it using AVS in Raspberry PI.
