You can verify that the `emulated_hue` integration has been loaded and is responding by pointing a local browser to the following URL:
- `http://<HA IP Address>:8300/description.xml` - This URL should return a descriptor file in the form of an XML file.
- `http://<HA IP Address>:8300/api/pi/lights` - This will return a list of devices, lights, scenes, groups, etc.. that `emulated_hue` is exposing to Alexa.
- `http://<HA IP Address>:8300/description.xml` - This URL should return a descriptor file in the form of an XML file.
- `http://<HA IP Address>:8300/api/pi/lights` - This will return a list of devices, lights, scenes, groups, etc.. that `emulated_hue` is exposing to Alexa.
For Google Home, verify that the URLs above are using port 80, rather than port 8300 (i.e. `http://<HA IP Address>:80/description.xml`).
For Amazon Alexa/Echo, verify that the URLs above are using port 80, rather than port 8300 (i.e. `http://<HA IP Address>:80/description.xml`). Since 2019-08 Amazon Echo firmware, Alexa no longer works with port 8300.
An additional step is required to run Home Assistant as a non-root user and use port 80 when using the AiO script. Execute the following command to allow `emulated_hue` to use port 80 as a non-root user.
```bash
sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /srv/homeassistant/homeassistant_venv/bin/python3
```
Please note that your path may be different depending on your installation method. For example, if you followed the [Virtualenv instructions](/docs/installation/virtualenv/), your path will be `/srv/homeassistant/bin/python3`.
