I've successfully set up my devices in the Tapo app and I want to control them using my Amazon Echo device. Even after adding the Tapo skill in the Alexa app and linking my TP-Link account, Alexa still cannot discover any of the existing devices in my Tapo app/account.

But if I add a new device via the Tapo app after linking to Alexa, the new device will then automatically show up in the Alexa app. This is a problem because I don't want to remove and re-add all my Tapo devices just so they'll appear in Alexa as a workaround. I have over 30 devices and some are in difficult to reach places so re-adding them won't be easy.

Is there a server issue that's why Alexa can't discover existing devices or is the Tapo skill broken? Or is there a way to force the "adding of device" event without actually removing a device and re-pairing just so that Alexa will think there are new Tapo devices.

I tried it on both iOS and Android and it's still the same. Just to add, all Tapo devices can be discovered using SmartThings and Google Home.
