Yeah as for me, the Echo Gen.4 is succesfully added but does not work, an error message is displayed saying āinvalid\_deviceā when we try to do something with, for instance to increase the volume.

Hi Jamie
When I touch once (shortly) the device Echo Dot 4 Gen in the Screen devices
Iāve deleted the device, and tried to create it again. Now Iāve got a timeout (30000ms). Itās not possible to create the device again.
I think in 3.7.101 Echo Gen 4 is new? Iāve not seen it in 3.7.100, perhaps my mistake.
Iāve created 3 new devices Echo 4 Gen without problems.
Short touch of Icon without error message
I hope it helps
Daniel

Iāve created a new flow for Echo 4 Gen
When flows run, alexa says
It runs for V3.7.101, no problem
Also to change volume, no problem
Only problems (cannot create device - timeout) with Echo Dot 4 Gen

Update:
Now itās possible to create new device with Echo Dot 4 Gen.
But thereās still the error message āinvalid deviceā when changing volume (or touch once the Icon of the device)
Pls tell me, when I should test again
Thx

Hello @Jamie
Just installed the test version. Will keep you up to date for this.
But can you just tell us what is the difference between the connect button and the new one āreconnectā that you added?
Thx for your investigation.

Hi @Jamie
First impression after installing the test app:
- What exactly is happening: Still Disconnecting issues, unable to be authenticated by the Amazon Server any more. I use this flow that triggers me a push notification so i am aware of the disconnection. [Gedeelde Flow | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-be/flow/HB_2Kz/) Alexa Routines not showing anymore in homey flow cards after disconnection. Tts not working anymore. Devices not availeble as the app is not connected to Amazon anymore
When reconnecting, everything works again.
The connection stayed up for a few hours.
- how often it is happening: Since installing the test app around 17h, once. A few hours later it was disconnected. Connected it again this morning. Will post again when a new disconnect comes up.
- how long has it been occurring for: Since version 3.5.100. Posted on 22 Jan for that problem.
- what version of the app are you using: Your test app Version 3.7.101 and homey version 5.0.4
- why its a problem: Mentioned above.
- what devices do you have: 3x Echo dot gen 3. 1x Echo plus gen 2. 1x Echo flex gen 1. 1x Echo show 8.
- what country you live in: Belgium.
- what server are your alexa devices connected to: EU Server.
- what server are you connecting to using the app. EU Server.
- Whats the diagnostic report num. App diagnostic: dbc69dd7-98d6-4e2b-bd3c-d8bda0eb691b
More people having a disconnection after installing the test version?

Hi,
I installed this version yesterday, but still now I did not notice any disconnection. All my devices (Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Show) are on line and work without issues. Only my Echo Dot GEN.4 does not work, the error āinvalid\_deviceā still occurs.
Regards,
Moussa.

Flows, Alexa routines and tts works.
Flow cards works.
App still connected.
Will keep you updated.

Hi all
@Jamie
Same here
No problems with connection
No problems with echo 4 Gen, and all other older echos
invalid device with echo **dot** 4 Gen
That sounds good
I hope you can fix the issue with echo dot 4 Gen
And if you have too much time, I would like to have Sonos Arc š thx
