And Alexa is still speaking via homey I assume? ---

Good question, it did before i created this flow 🙂 So let me test that, just to be sure. No apparently not anymore, let me reconnect and test it again Now getting messages instantly, and lots of them, not just every 15 minutes but multiple every minute (i do have 3 devices connected, so that might be why i get 3 mesages a minute) ![Amazon](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/3/93732add9739a94e6cce09463c6780c5bee97d1e.jpeg) ---

Thanks again for you effort, so it seems to be the normal behavior at the moment. And in my case it triggers also in sec not min. You can type on “a few seconds ago” in the timeline to see the date/timestamp in detail. The question @Jamie : shows the card real reconnections or is it a loop in the code? đŸ€” ---

Same problem at 3.5.101. My solution: Sending “DND off” every hour to the devices. Hope that works further on. 🙂 ---

Good idea, but sadly didn’t work for me. I test it with an interval of 1 hour. Alexa is still connected but didn’t work anymore. The known response problem. The only thing which works in my environment to keep up the connection a view days is this automatic flow: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/b/fb03156f87c692e69ae71e61d75781ba6b87b036.png) Not bullet proved but it works until Alexa is disconnected completely. Then it works again with the reconnect button at once. ---

That’s weird, I can add both of mine and click on them and use them and everything without problems. Maybe it’s the different version, they made a big version and a small not to mention those with clock displays. Mine are the ones which are small and without clocks, if that helps. ---

@OWA My dot 4 that is an invalid device as well without clock. Maybe it’s a matter of country settings, could you post you 3 alexa country settings right of the app settings? ---

From memory I was only able to backwards engineer on/off and dim (and change to a specific colour, though I never added that as it didnt work with the athom colour picker). But like Homey Alexa also has ‘devices’. So Switches and Lights 
 but I created ‘other’ which would ignore the device type and look for items with on/off or dim 
 when the device uses just the generic way of going about it. ie. My Tuya diffuser has the on/off capability but is not a switch. My guess is anything as complex as a aircon would not be using default capabilities. ---

I have the same problem. Too bad I read this too late, after I deleted everything and re-added 🙂 Sadly enough restarting the app and disconnecting/reconnecting doesn’t even work â˜č [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-alexa-control-your-amazon-devices-from-homey/8356.md?page=57) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-alexa-control-your-amazon-devices-from-homey/8356.md?page=59)
