Whn you say it ‘stops’ do you mean that the text to speech stops working?

Does the weather continue to work?  
Can you create a flow whichwill tell you whether the app was disconnected and if so is triggered?

thanks

No, I hade the message the “app unespected stopep”  
I habe to restart it.  
This flow is working strange. Sometimes perfect, sometimes with delay between devices, sometimes only some devices. Probably I need to put some delay between the command…

Homey was restarted 16h ago and (before and after that restart) I noticed intermittent that TTS was not working (missed 2 or 3 messages of 15 or something) but in general it kept working. Only now it quit completely. After restarting of the app it’s back to working. I created a dev report just before restarting, hope it helps: 3d181007-a412-4162-a1cc-a456757a8fce. Let me know if you want me to try something else.  
Oh I have triggers setup for if the app wouldn’t be able to authenticate or lost connection but non of them triggered.

Hi @Jamie

Any luck with adding echo show 5? Looking forward to testing the app.

Cheers

@autolycos The code was added as a proof of concept several weeks ago, try adding a new ‘Alexa Show’ (original) - the 5 will show up.

As you can see from the status post I wrote, the app seems to have a bug where some people are disconnected daily, others are not. Until such time as that is fixed it will is simply not stable enough for beta.

I find it to much of a coincidence that it disconnects every 10,080.seconds
