Hi Jamie, Thanks for this great app. I would like to ask you the possibility of integrating support for the following devices: 1. TCL TS8011 Soundbar ([https://www.amazon.co.uk/tcl-ts8011-soundbar-with-built-in-subwoofer-fire-tv-edition/dp/B07WDHX4PG/](https://www.amazon.co.uk/tcl-ts8011-soundbar-with-built-in-subwoofer-fire-tv-edition/dp/B07WDHX4PG/)) 2. Echo Input ([https://www.amazon.co.uk/Echo-Input-White-audio-input-Bluetooth/dp/B07C7MSKPD/](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Echo-Input-White-audio-input-Bluetooth/dp/B07C7MSKPD/)) Thank you very much in advance! ---

Hi Jamie, thank you for your reply. Concerning the first device I will try to found all the necessary information as soon as possible. Regarding echo input, I refer to what you find circled in the picture that you have published among compatible devices but I cannot find it among the devices proposed by your app when adding a new device. Let me know if you need anything for this too. No problem for me to test your developments. Thank you! ![EWC_COMPATIBILITY_CHART_LINEUP_1500x300_.CB459506241](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/6/4647c75384cb6f6f1f82f25cbb157895977666e4.jpeg) ---

Thank @Jamie, this update works with the echo devices. But my other devices added to Alexa always gets timed out why trying to re add them to homey. I have quite a bit of devices within Alexa so I’m wondering if it’s the timeout causing the issue? Previously I could add them with an earlier version of your app. ---

Hi Jamie, I’m trying to trigger an Alexa routine from Homey. But no routines show up in the list. Did I miss something? In the FAQ I only found the hint that routines need to be named in order to show up. My 20+ Alexa routines are all have a name. But the list poping up when “trigger routine” is chosen in a homey flow stays empty. I’m using the testing version of your app (due to the latest problems connecting to Amazon discussed here). Thanks for help, Sven ---

hey Vix it shouldn’t be related to timeouts, but I’ve never tested it with lots and lots of devices, Or When you say “other devices’ do you mean ‘other smart devices’? Are these devices you have previously added to Homey? Hey Sven, have you typed the name of the routine into the screen which pops up? It will remain empty until you type. ---

Alexa mostly is crowded with Hue (and some irritating philips hue duplicates that get added without any skill which amazon CS still cant solve for me) The particular item I’m trying to add is a sonoff POWR2, which is linked to alexa via the ewelink skill. I’ve previously added it to Homey via your app and works great. Now that I’ve reinstalled the app, attempting to add that devices. Tried all possible options, Smart Lights, plugs and other. All returned a timed out after 30000ms although the elapsed time is less than that. The amount of device in alexa is the same then and now so not sure why this would be so. ---

Hi @Jamie, I have no problems connecting with the latest test version, but i have to manually connect to the North American service every day. This was not the case, do you know what/if something has changed? Thanks, Ron ---

Hi Jamie, Yes i am sure using the right server. What i mean is that the app is disconnecting every day (red exclamation marks near Alexa devices), and have to press connect + password at least once each day to make it work again. This is behaviour i did not see before the “Cooky problems” started. Thanks. ---

When you press connection once a day, you then have to re-enter your password or not? Do you have a flow which restarts Homey nightly? Or one which restarts the app nightly? ---

Yes, i have to re-enter my password. No, homey and/or the alexa app do not restart nightly. Only manual when needed. Just now i had to re-enter my password after approx. 1 hour again. I just updated to the latest test version, let me see if this helps. ---

I think this might be a localised problem Ron, if you every notice that it has gone offline with in the last 5 minutes (there should be a flow action for it) please immediately send me a diagnostic report. I need to figure out if it is your wifi, homey, internet or alexa device which is disconnecting. Thanks @azid@Moussa_BA@viix - I really do appreciate you taking the time and risk to test these changes for everyone! ---
