echo show not working with cameras
-
I have 2 Echo Show 8 (1st generation)
Both are using Software Fire OS 6.5.6.5 (NS6565/5565).One is still working great receiving all my Unifi cameras. The other Echo Show works for a few hours then “Camera not reponding”
If deregister that Echo Show and reregister it, It will start working again for 4 to 24 hours… ish.
Getting tired of de and registration it!!
-
I gave up. Not to disparage our host but this isn’t the first round of “working / not working.”
I ended up setting up Scrypted in a docker container on a Proxmox VM and it was VERY straightforward and worked within minutes. I’m sure there are downsides there but the WAF (wife acceptance factor) of “just make it work” won out over loyalty.

I was following this thread since several days, suffering exactly the same problem from one day to another, touching 1000 of things, and finally I’ve managed to solve this, restoring to “factory defaults” my Echo Show 8.
For some reason before restoring it, the Echo won’t connect through IP/UDP with my Monocle Gateway and once restored everything started working.
I hope this can be useful your someone.
Cheers,
Ramiro. -
@sabueso
thank you for sharing with us.
You are right, Echo Show reset and new setup in Alexa app solved the problem for now.Best

@sabueso Tried a factory reset echo show 10 2nd generation. I am NOT using the gateway. Did not work for me Graham

@sabueso I just signed up to thank you! It worked like a charm. I was facing the same issue for the last days and it started to make me crazy.

Can you show some more light on how you set this up? do you still need to use monocle?
-
@Toto Same here. Worked only for a couple of hours. I haven’t checked, but apparently factory reset restores the original firmware which works with Monocle and then the device updates to the new one which doesn’t work
-
@themlruts - no you don’t use Monocle at all.
I probably shouldn’t have even brought it up here since it is sort of a competing product.
-
I’m experiencing the same problems as everyone else. “cameras not responding”. Only temporary fix is to factory reset the echos, but hours or days later it happens again. After not seeing any response from @Monocle, I tested Scrypted. It works and doesn’t appear to have the 4 second lag that Monocle had. The only issues I have with Scrypted is that the camera only runs for a few hours before the echo goes back to the home screen. Have you, or anyone else, ran into this and know of a work around?
I’m using Unifi cameras with Echo as a baby monitor. Worked great with Monocle until recently. I’d like to use Scrypted, but the feed shuts down after a few hours for whatever reason and I haven’t been able to figure out why.

Hey Robert, your attention is really appreciated, but a short reply for our echo problem is welcome, even when a fix will need some time. Best Toto

@themlruts Did you have to purchase a license for Scrypted??? We also use our Echo devices as baby monitors and would like these to start working again. Thank You
