Amazon Alexa Smart Home : Unable to discover device



I am having an issue in Discovery.



when I discover devices, it does not appear to be calling the Lambda function that I have defined. The Lambda function is configured on the Skill and the event source is configured on the Lambda function.



I have check from monitoring logs that lambda function is not getting called when I try to discover devices from Alexa interface.



If I try to test same using lambda test interface it gives me the response.



Sample request being made from lambda test interface



"header":
"messageId": "6d6d6e14-8aee-473e-8c24-0d31ff9c17a2",
"name": "DiscoverAppliancesRequest",
"namespace": "Alexa.ConnectedHome.Discovery",
"payloadVersion": "2"
,
"payload":
"accessToken": "some string"




Response I got from my API endpoint is as below



"header":
"messageId": "6d6d6e14-8aee-473e-8c24-0d31ff9c17a2",
"name": "DiscoverAppliancesResponse",

If the Lambda function itself is never being called, there is a problem with your configuration. Ensure everything is setup correctly, perhaps start over and follow the set up step by step making sure everything is right. Is your lambda event handler set up right? Does your Handler match up with your exports.handler function in the Lambda config?

I just had the same same issue. No discover requests were sent to my lambda function. The error was that I've entered an invalid application id for the Trigger > Smart Home Trigger.



This needs to be the same value as your skill application id.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas...

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right.

Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS I'm trying to create a top 10 leaderboard, for now, I've only implemented 3 players, but I'm coming across an issue. My script doesn't seem to be outputting anything on webpage. The purpose of the script is to compare 3 arrays, player1,player2,and player3 solely based off of score. Which is the 2nd index of each array. I want the script to list the players in order of highest score. This method doesn't really seem to be efficient, especially when I'll have to add 7 more players. Could someone suggest perhaps an easier approach, as well as show me why my script wont output the info. Here's the JS function leaderboard() { var player1 = name:"Thomas",date:"01/23/18",score:"201"; var player2 = name:"Michael",date:"03/24/17",score:"943"; var player3 = Name:"Lisa",date:"06/04/18",Score:"79"; if(player1[2]...
