Troubleshooting

If Alexa replies properly to a response but Axial Server doesn't activate the light or device, make sure your copy of Axial Server is registered with the cloud using the same username and password as your plugin purchase. You can find this by going to Tools/Cloud Registration from Axial Server.

If you are still having problems, examine your logfile.txt to see if you have any log entries similar to this: Device family room not found. If you see that, Axial Server was not able to located a device by that name. Double check that your device is spelled exactly as you see it noted in the logfile.

If your scene, device or room name contain special characters or punctuation, Alexa will be unable to activate it.
