Had to reset my echo plus to fix another issue.
The echo plus has a built in bridge so I don't want to buy the Philips bridge.
Afterwards I couldn't add my Philips hue bulbs back, very annoying.
You need to reset the bulbs first.
1 Get the serial from the bulb.
2 Make sure its on, only reset one bulb at a time.
3 With the amazon alexa app on the phone, there is one master user. This is usually the phone/account that originally setup the echo. You need to use that smart phone.
4 Reset the bulb in the app
Start the alexa app on the smartphone
Go to devices in the bottom right
Tap the "plus" symbol in the top right
Add device
Tab "Light"
Scroll down to "Other"
Make sure the light is on
Tab "Discover devices"
This will fail, just wait for it
Now tap "Get help connecting"
Scroll down and tab "RESET PHILIPS HUE LIGHT"
Enter the serial number we took off the bulb earlier
Tap "Continue"
The echo should reset the bulb it should flash. Alexa should automatically discover it afterwards but if it doesn't try ask alexa to "discover my devices" again
Hope that helps.
