Alexa not discovering ESP8266

Hi,

I am having trouble connecting Alexa to my ESP8266. The ESP8266 is connected to my wifi and I can ping it with no problems. when I try to discover the ESP on Alexa it cant discover it. Is anyone else having this problem? It's an Alexa 3rd Gen. When I ask Alexa to search for new devices the blue LED on the ESP flashes for a split second.

Thanks,
Mike.

// Assign the LED pins.
// LED's show debugging for program state.
const int GreenLED = 5; //Connected to pin D1.
const int RedLED = 4;   //Connected to pin D2.

// prototypes.
boolean connectWifi();

// On/Off callbacks.
void ChristmasLightsOn();
void ChristmasLightOff();

// WiFi Network credentials.
char ssid[] = "MY SSID";   // Network SSID.
char password[] = "MY PASSWORD";  // Network Password.

WemoManager wemoManager;
WemoSwitch *ChristmasLights = NULL;
RCSwitch mySwitch = RCSwitch();

void setup() {

  // Setup pins as outputs.
  pinMode (GreenLED, OUTPUT);
  pinMode (RedLED, OUTPUT);

  // Setup Baud rate.
  Serial.begin(115200);

  // Set WiFi to station mode and disconnect from an access point if it was previously connected.
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
  WiFi.disconnect();
  delay(100);

  // Attempt to connect to Wifi network.
  Serial.print("Connecting Wifi: ");
  Serial.println(ssid);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.print(".");
    delay(500);
  }
  Serial.println("");
  Serial.println("WiFi connected");
  Serial.println("IP address: ");
  IPAddress ip = WiFi.localIP();
  Serial.println(ip);

  wemoManager.begin();
  
  // Format: Alexa invocation name, local port no, ON callback, OFF callback.
  ChristmasLights = new WemoSwitch("Christmas Lights", 80, ChristmasLightsOn, ChristmasLightsOff);
  wemoManager.addDevice(*ChristmasLights);

  delay(10);

  //Setup 433mhz Transmitter.
  mySwitch.enableTransmit(16); // Transmitter DATA Pin is connected to Pin D0.
  mySwitch.setProtocol(1); // Set protocol.
  mySwitch.setPulseLength(165); // Set pulse length.
  mySwitch.setRepeatTransmit(15); // Set number of transmission repetitions.


}

void loop() {

  wemoManager.serverLoop();
}

void ChristmasLightsOn() {
  Serial.println("Christmas Lights switched ON ...");
  digitalWrite(GreenLED, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(RedLED, LOW);
  mySwitch.send("000001000101010100110011");

}

void ChristmasLightsOff() {
  Serial.println("Christmas Lights switched OFF ...");
  digitalWrite(RedLED, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(GreenLED, LOW);
  mySwitch.send("000001000101010100111100");

}

It's ok, it is now working.

Could you let me know what it was that fixed this issue?
I'm having the same problem with a mkr wifi 1010, and I wonder if something that you did could help me.

(see Alexa fails to discover mkr1010 on wifi )

Thanks!
