Summary, before you read all detail below: Alexa reports "Discovery failed" and no devices are shown.
I am at a loss, don't know what else to try... would love any tips from people who have had the same issue and maybe tried something I haven't...
At the moment I am only trying to use Alexa from my iPhone until I see it works, and then start purchasing echo, dots, etc.
Steps / things I have done:
Would appreciate any tips you may have...
Cheers!

At the moment I am only trying to use Alexa from my iPhone until I see it works, and then start purchasing echo, dots, etc.
Steps / things I have done:
- As a non-US user, I have had to create a myUS postal address, a US Amazon account and a US iTunes account just in order to get the Alexa app on my iPhone (surreal, of course nothing to do with HS, just an anecdote...)
- Installed Alexa on my iPhone
- Created a myHS account and verified it works correctly (tried remote access a few times and all is fine)
- Upgraded HS to v. 3.0.0.409
- Added the "HomeSeer Smarthome" skill to Alexa and linked correctly to myHS account
- Tried to discover devices --> "discovery failed"
- Did all of the following, with no change in result, always "discovery failed":
- Made sure at least a few devices (simple on/off lights) had voice commands activated
- Created a user in HS to match the credentials used for myHS and made this an "admin" - not sure if this is required, or if I need a user to match the Amazon Alexa credentials?
- Made sure control via JSON is active
- Restarted HS
- Restarted the computer hosting HS
- Logged in and out of Alexa
- Closed and reopened Alexa on iPhone
Cheers!
