Continuing the discussion from [Deleted WLED from Alexa, can't get it back](https://wled.discourse.group/t/deleted-wled-from-alexa-cant-get-it-back/2649/2): Just hit the same snag. WLED no longer being picked up by Alexa. Used to show up as Royal Phillips. Now nothing ☹ Just wondering if others are experiencing this and if there is any solution. Using latest WLED V 0.14.0-b3 with ESP8266. Many thanks for any help and great software. Was really happy with Alexa 😟 😟 till Amazon decided to play around with things. A number of routines, sensors etc have stopped working recently although I changed nothing. Think it might be something to do with introduction of Matter/Thread etc. ---

On esp32 using latest i can see that working correctly and wled main light is seen by Alexa and also the presets i selected are showed as separate lights . If you could confirm with esp32 else i will also try on 8266 ---

Hi ALDIY Have cleared out the Alexa cache and the WLED cache on the mobile device. Also completely turned off the Alexa device and did a fresh search when it came back on for the WLED. Still no luck. Tried half a dozen times. Arghhhh . 🙂 The good thing to know is that its just my setup and not affecting everyone. So many thanks for confirming that. Will keep on trying and if I find a way to make it work will post. Used to be fine so not sure what changed. O the wonders of home automation. 🙂 ---

Sorry ALDIY didn’t read your first post. Yes its a ESP32. Many thanks for your help and comments on this. I am a newbie to this so still a lot to learn. ---

Well. Managed to get it working again. Gave the lights a static IP address and did a couple of more device discovery and it found them. Maybe I didn’t notice it before but manged to find them. Many thanks for confirming it was still working. Gave me the confidence to keep trying. 🙂 😀 ---
