Im ab at a lost on this issue. I have the following pallet install on my node red node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel

I have removed and reinstall the Node-Red software. I have installed the following pallets

I'm running a window 10 system. I even change this  
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=80 listenaddress=192.168.2.29 connectport=6000 connectaddress=192.168.2.29”

But that cause me not to see any devices so I deleted.

I don't what else to try to see my Alexa Echo's, If you can give me assistance that would be wonderful, I'm a beginner when dealing with node-red.

Its still not clear what the problem is, what devices do you not see and where do you not see them 😉

Did you setup the Alexa Account node in applestrudel ?

What does the status indicator look like on your 'Alexa Initialise' node? It should look like this.  
 ![alexa_initialise](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/b/9/b91c18e92b96e8dc0f9dbad55f22652db1a3a03d.png)

What settings are you using on your 'Alexa Routine' node? This is what mine looks like.  
 ![alexa_speak](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/7/f/7ff62e9abccb7e6dd4e989724f78d21bd4f6765a.png)

Simple test message

You can also refer to an Alexa device using msg.xxxx e.g. msg.device  
You would need to set msg.device to the name of the Alexa device in your NR flow.

The account name is not important, its just what you called it when you set it up.  
I have a variety of devices including shows and it works OK for me, is it possible you have those devices setup on a different amazon account ?
