[tehmilcho]

Hi,

installed the Update but now all Devices will not work anymore... the "echo" options in the Devices are gone.. and get from every device the Error:

error [pimatic]: Invalid config of device "kuche-firetv": Property "echo" is not a valid property
18:49:01error [pimatic]: Invalid config of device "tradfri_scene_131074": Property "echo" is not a valid property
18:49:01error [pimatic]: Invalid config of device "tradfri_scene_131073": Property "echo" is not a valid property
18:49:01error [pimatic]: Invalid config of device "tradfri_scene_131075": Property "echo" is not a valid property

I reseached for Devices, Alexa says "the Device will not response".

Reinstall of the Plugin without success, in the Pimatic "Device discovery" is Alexa also missing. In the Alexa Debug log is only: "info [pimatic-echo]: Starting pimatic-echo...".

"plugins": [
{
"plugin": "echo",
"active": true,
"debug": true
},

Hi, i'm getting the same error output and this additinal log message:

[pimatic-echo] info: Starting pimatic-echo...
[pimatic] error: Could not initialize the plugin "echo": ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/pimatic-app/echo-database/echoUsers'

Sorry i have the same Error "error [pimatic]: Could not initialize the plugin "echo": ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/pimatic-app/echo-database/echoUsers'" .. i got so many errors that i dont see this line...

the Folder "/home/pi/pimatic-app/echo-database/echoUsers" is empty... but i found the old "echoUsers" this file is the Root of the Raspbian installation:

i copied the old file in to the folder /home/pi/pimatic-app/echo-database/ now it works again

Damn, i'll fix this immediately. Until then, the workaround of @tehmilcho works, too

@thost96 do you have the stack trace after the error message? I can't reproduce this on my dev machine

Issue is fixed with 0.5.2. If you want to keep your devices without scanning again please use the existing echoUsers file from / and copy it to .../pimatic-app/echo-database/. Otherwise you need to rescan
