Echo does not detect devices if the node ID have a dot.

[atika]

1. Unique device ID is generated with a dot for some devices and Echo does not detect them:

node-red-contrib-alexa-home/alexa/alexa-home.js

Lines 144 to 154 in 008baa9

	AlexaHomeNode.prototype.generateUniqueId = function(uuid) {
	let i = 9;
	const base = "00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77-88";
	const nodeid = uuid.split("");
	const uniqueid = base.replace(
	/\d/g,
	() => nodeid.shift() || Math.max(--i, 0),
	"g"
	);
	return uniqueid;
	};

The . should be deleted from the node ID.

   const nodeid = uuid.replace('.', '').split("");

Or filter to be sure to only have hexadecimals characters.

PS: Should be great to add a field to set this node ID to not loose all the routines on new installation.

2. Add 3 curly braces so mustache does not encode the URL:

node-red-contrib-alexa-home/alexa/templates/setup.xml

Line 7 in 008baa9

<URLBase>{{baseUrl}}</URLBase>

    <URLBase>{{{baseUrl}}}</URLBase>
    <device>
        <deviceType>urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:Basic:1</deviceType>
        <friendlyName>Amazon-Echo-NodeRed-Bridge {{{baseUrl}}}</friendlyName>

3. The bridge ID is not the same

In alexa-hub.js it ends with a 0 who is shown when scanning SSDP devices.

node-red-contrib-alexa-home/alexa/alexa-hub.js

Line 148 in 3c1c8e8

const hueuuid = node.controller.formatHueBridgeUUID(node.id);

In the setup XML displayed it ends with the controller ID.

node-red-contrib-alexa-home/alexa/alexa-home-controller.js

Line 318 in 3c1c8e8

uuid: node.formatHueBridgeUUID(node.id),

But I don't know If this could be an issue. As we can only have one on port 80, In alexa-hub.js I replaced node.id with node.controller.id

The nodeId is stored in a configuration file on disk, so this should not be lost anyway
