ESP8266 Community Forum

- Mon Jan 14, 2019 5:01 pm #80064 Hi all, this is my first post so I'll give you quick background as to how I ended up here.
Over the last month or so I have had a bit of a thing for home automation and voice control. While I'm not completely computer illiterate I have very little experience with coding of any sort.

I came across some code for an ESP8266 get devices to work with Alexa I flashed this to a nodemcu and it worked fine, however it was only to control 2 devices i edited the code to control 4 devices the issue I have is Alexa will only discover 3 devices.

The code I used is below. Any advice as to why it wont discover the 4th device would be appreciated

- Wed Mar 24, 2021 12:10 pm #90915 I notice that where your line reads:

#define LAMP_1 "lamp one"
#define LAMP_2 "lamp two"
#define LAMP_3 "lamp three"
#define LAMP_2 "lamp four"
the last line should say
#define LAMP_4 "lamp four"

I put your code into Arduino and Arduino told me that Lamp_4 was not declared in scope. This should take car of your problem.
