Nothing even appeared in the event log. What could I be missing ?

Also, When adding a new alexa hue bridge device what is the difference between Amazon Echo Device and Emulated Hue Bridge (alexa devices) ?
Have you checked out this post:
Current state of this plugin (as of October 2019)It describes in some detail the requirements for specific generation of Amazon Echo devices. This may give some clue as to why it isn't working and things you can try.
An Emulated Hue Bridge is the device that you setup in Indigo to communicate with real physical Amazon Echos scattered round the home. An Indigo Amazon Echo device is defined for each real Amazon Echo you have. However
you don't have to do this and in retrospect it is probably simpler not to. The important thing is to make sure that the Plugin Config field
Non-Echo Filter is not checked / ticked. There is quite good help text associated with the filed in the plugin Config dialogue.
Hope this helps but if not post back to this thread.
