There is no such thing @Heszi I suspect there is a place in hell, where all they have you do is move house over and over. ---

Does the App support the Echo Pop? I can’t see it in the listed devices ---

Not sure how actively the app is currently being developed since the last version was quite some time ago, but would it be possible to add “WHEN” and “AND” cards for the “Do not disturb” mode? e.g. “WHEN Do Not Disturb turned on/off” and “AND Do Not Disturb is turned on/off”. **EDIT:** just saw your comment mentioning moving houses, so I guess there won’t be updates in the next time. Is there anything speaking against making the app open source (e.g. some api keys etc)? ---

No. I think it needs an app update to include the Echo Pop ---

@Adam_Hay @Sandro_Besana I haven’t tried with the Pop but another unsupported generation of the Echo Dot and had success by installing the test version of the app [Amazon Alexa App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.amazon.alexa/Amazon-Alexa/test) and adding the experimental device type. Has been working for me for a few months ---

Hi guys, First of, cheers for an awesome app and thanks for putting time and effort into maintaining it. In my current setup I have a Sonos one 2nd gen connected to this app. My main use case was that I wanted to automate a news flash when I wake up in the morning. This worked fine the first day but there seems to be a problem because sometimes the news flash doesn’t initiate after I hear Alexa say “here’s your news flash”. It seems to me right now that it is 50/50 whether the news starts or not. Does anyone have any pointers towards what might be wrong here? I’ve also tested to trigger the news flash in various ways from Homey, but it does not seem to be related to the triggering itself via homey as I can always hear Alexa say “here’s your news flash”. Also, when I go into the settings of Alexa in the mobile app and then go to news and try to change what the news flash should contain, it never seems to reflect what is actually played when the news flash does work (for example: I have the sport news as the first news flash but it always starts with another one regardless). Again, thanks for this app! All the best ---

Hi, trying to connect my Echo dot gen 2, but the app doesn’t find my device. Everything is on the same wifi network (2.4 Ghz), what else can I try with? ---

Really weird, but no matter what I’ve tried I can only get the Alexa app to see certain devices I have. What’s super weird is that I have six DOT4’s. All the exact same model and firmware. All linked in Alexa but Homey will only ever see 2 of them!!! I’ve no idea what’s happening? Anyone any ideas??? I’ve already tried taking the app off and on again. And also deleting the devices from my Alexa app and re-installing. ---

Today, all my Amazon devices are disconnected. Attempt to reconnect, but at point where app goes off to Amazon website, it produces ‘page not found’ error. Devices remain disconnected. Any ideas? I’ve sent a diagnostic report 06c34758-8832-41fa-a4c0-1778de8dbf63 Thanks ---

This is normal. Login time is 90 days i think. So just go to one of the Amazone items and choose repair. If that dont work, go to apps, amazone, log out and back in. This happens with updates sometimes and every 90 days for me. ---

Hello, when trying to connect (doesn’t matter which server) a new window opens to this address http://_IPaddress_:3086/ but I always get the error: Proxy-Error: Error: connect ETIMEDOUT So I’m unable to even get the screen to login to the amazon account. I’m on the same network and already tried by turning on/off IPv4 or IPv6 but no difference. Can someone help me out please? Thanks in advance! ---

I’ve been an advocate for this app but it has become unusable for me. A few weeks back all my Alexa devices became unusable from time to time. That issue was fixable by reconnecting the app so I created a flow that used the Reconnect card every three hours which kept things running. Since then. every 2.5 days I started getting ‘Unauthorised’ errors. There appears to be no way to overcome the issue manually. Instead I had to restart the app until the app settings showed it was not connected and then reconnect it. That was not tenable, so I switched to using ‘[Voice Monkey](https://console.voicemonkey.io/)’ to run Alexa routines and make announcements. You use a URL that Voice Monkey provides to start an action on an Alexa device. It takes a little longer but is reliable. Just one ‘gotcha’. Voice Monkey adds devices to Alexa that look like doorbells. You add a routine that runs when the ‘doorbell’ is pressed. Alexa automatically adds a doorbell press announcement which you probably don’t want - go to the device’s settings and switch off the announcement there. Andy ---

@Zakarias_Mortensen Sorry that sounds like some sort of issue with the alexa side of things, sounds like the command for news is being correctly sent - I’ve experience a similar issue from with in my car when I ask for a flash briefing and my internet isnt great, perhaps try looking into the connection? @Joseph_Rodriguez : its Highly dependent on how the creator of the fan created the alexa skill. I am only going off and finding all devices with an on/off or dim capability but if they did it a unique way then the app wont find it. @Andy_Henderson I am glad you found a work around to your issue - thank you for sharing it back to the community. ---
