The power cycle seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the tip.

You can control any Alexa connected device with voiceCmdAsText() in Echo Speaks. You just send any echo device the command that you would normally use to control the glow via speaking to an echo device.
You could make a virtual button or switch and use it in rules that send the voice command you wish to send when the button is pressed or the switch changes. You can make a switch for on and off commands, and use buttons for any other functions like color.
You can even make a virtual dimmer and build a custom string in a rule that includes the dim level in the command, so a virtual dimmer can directly control the dim level of the Glow, and on and off.
I would use Webcore, since it is easy to build strings. Not sure how easy that is in RM since I don't really use it.
Virtual dimmer changes to 50% -> Use the incoming level to build a string that says ("set Echo glow to "level) and send it with the voiceCmdAsText command.
Edit: If interested, I was using an app I wrote to connect an Alexa Dimmer to a Virtual Dimmer so no rules are needed. You can have as many app instances as needed, and you can change the name of the app at the top to describe the device it controls.
