I'm having an issue with Node-Red that it will not see any of my Alexa Echo Devices. I have the latest node-red-contrib-alexa-home 2.0.2 install but it still will not see my Alexa Echo Devices

I've never been able to make these nodes work as there is so little documentation on them

And I've not seen any discussion on them for years

As far as I can tell this node emulates a smart bulb, so it has to be detected by the echo device not the other way around.

Also did you make the changes required - **ALEXA\_PORT and running as root**

I know it does not answer the question but try using `node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel` instead

I must not be doing it correctly. How do I make the change **ALEXA\_PORT and running as root** I keep not putting in correctly, I'm using a windows10
