Alexa Player Verifiedhomebridge-alexa-player | Partly works | Show Playing/Paused; Home app controls very limited without AirPlay 2Saved copyIt seems that none of my Echo devices are working. They add to my Home app and display 'Playing/Paused/Stopped' but there is no ability to control any of my alexa devices as you can see here: Debugged Homebridge logs just outputs a json log for the devices on the account - i.e. _Creating accessory for device: {"accountName":"Double Room Echo"_ There are no errors or output even when trying to interact with the speakers in the home app. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | Cloud | Issue #75 · 2020-12 |
Alexa Player Verifiedhomebridge-alexa-player | Not working | Previously removed speakers do not reappear in Home appSaved copyHi, same problem for me. Tried this plugin last year on a couple of echos but removed them, now wanting to try the plugin again with the same echos. They appear as above in the homebridge UI but do not appear in the home app. Only the echos I didn't use last time are appearing. Assume this is a persist/accessory issue in the homebridge folder but have too many other accessories to work out which persist to delete! Any other ideas? Many thanks Andy Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | Cloud | Issue #209 · 2021-05 |
Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
