Amazon echo is working perfectly for me

I had same problems for a few days with the echo app…

But somehow one day it stayed stable 🤔

I heard that maybe the WLAN / LAN Adapter could be part of the problem.

Few people have no problems with the Alexa app, using just WiFi

Hi Toby, good point on the network adapter, could be an issue. I am on the Lan directly into my second hub that works as a AP, then wired to the main router. I am also running the stock Homey firmware 12.8.2, I switched off experimental stuff!

This is my situation with the Echo app since this morning

! I reinstalled it yesterday and it worked fine. I’ll try disabling LAN. Thanks.

Unfortunately there are significant differences in capability between the two apps that some/many of us have come to rely on, especially when you consider it’s an integration to one of the larger solution providers out there with at least half a billion devices sold. That installed base has a much broader integration reach and with a still somewhat nascent integration effort natively in Homey, the broken community app is how many of us access those devices. How they could reply with “nothing planned” indicates either planning malfeasance or willful neglect.

Toby I use the Homey ethernet adapter but tried disconnecting and rolling to Wi-Fi. Wish I had better news to report, at least for me it immediately crashes, same as on wired ethernet.

Since Amazon does not provide official ways to integrate its more or less a hack to do it. For a company to build this and support it would be a continuous battle to keep it stable and suffer complaints of users that expect a stable connection for an official solution. Not to mention that Amazon might consider it violation and might send their lawyers.

I am sure that if they could get a proper partnership with Amazon they would have. The fact that Amazon clearly doesn’t care themselves, bad matter support, lack of development effort etc in their own devices doesn’t help the situation. Amazon clearly decided to turn their attention elsewhere.

Today i tried again and now it seems to be possible.

Earlier i could not so anything with the Echo Dot app because i don’t have devices iny Alexa app.

Now i did recover some devices and am able to use routines/scenario’s.

My Amazon Alexa app keeps crashing all of a sudden. Restarted it manually several times.

Restarted Homey Pro also several times. Who can help me out?

I also updated but I still don’t get the login request from [amazon.de](http://amazon.de) but always: Error: error is not defined. And it makes no difference if I activate or deactivate 2FA on Amazon.

It has unfortunately stopped working for me as well. I think that the only resort is to switch to the Echo app. I am certain @Jamie has done all he can do. Perhaps something fundamental has changed.

I switched my echo devices to the echo app and it works like a charm.

Just sad that I can not add those Alexa devices which that echo app.

We will survive 🎉

Don’t believe this is a Homey issue. I am having the same issues with the Alexa integration in Home Assistant.
