Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Why doesn’t alexa voice work?
You are connected to the wrong ‘server’, you can go to the settings, disconnect and try one of the other servers (US,EU,AU). Just because you live in a geo location, doesn’t mean that where you first signed up your devices. (Originally only the US server existed).
Can I add a new alexa device?
Most devices will automatically be supported when they are released, not all devices which show up will work. Let me know if I device doesnt work and ill block it so others dont get confused.
Will there be support for X?

Can you add feature X or Y
Long Answer : If you cant do it through the alexa website alexa.amazon.com or worse case the alexa phone app. Then no I can not add it. If you can do it through the app, check out whether its in “whats next” list above. If its not, the I doubt it, but you can ask.
Short Answer : I Doubt it.
Why don’t my routines show in the flow action
For a routine to show, it must be given a name with in the alexa app.
Why does the app stop working?
There could be a couple of reasons for this, the most common is that you have set homey to restart nightly/weekly and this is causing the app to not reconnect.
