I can't use your Alexa skill for this project. When I ask Alexa to discover I get the following.

Exception (28)
Don't know how to solve this without more info
Have you changed the stock code? except for the wifi name and password
does your esp boot normally and discover the devices?
is it only when you ask her to change state of the switches it crashes?
Exception 28 is an illegal stack call or invalid pointer address, you could be changing something while stuck in a loop

some people have said they get exception 28 on the esp8266 and with the same code runs fine on an esp32, others connecting to home wifi it crashes but on the office wifi it's ok, losing internet connection and sending a request seems to be the most common cause, there is a tool called GDB https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/GDBStub never used it but it can track and trace all the calls in your program and show you where the error comes from.

 I code change except WiFi etc, I will try a ESP32 when it comes, as I thought I’d try that anyway Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Monday, February 10, 2020, 8:25 pm, PetRatty <[email protected]> wrote: Exception (28) Don't know how to solve this without more info Have you changed the stock code? except for the wifi name and password does your esp boot normally and discover the devices? is it only when you ask her to change state of the switches it crashes?

Thank you for the reply It does boot normally and connects to WiFi too, that exception only happens the instant I ask Alexa to discover new device Regards, Kevin Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Monday, February 10, 2020, 8:25 pm, PetRatty <[email protected]> wrote: Exception (28) Don't know how to solve this without more info Have you changed the stock code? except for the wifi name and password does your esp boot normally and discover the devices? is it only when you ask her to change state of the switches it crashes?

I have this issue

[simmtek]

I fixed this by changing char packetBuffer[512]; to char packetBuffer[1024];
at around line 5 in WemoManager.cpp
