thank you, find out that it was a stupid question given what you have done πŸ™‚ How can I become a beta tester, or is the application soon a release? Admire your work πŸ™‚ ---

Sounds like you are aiming for a high quality release before beta. Admirable. But beta testers are useful exactly for that mass testing. So open her up 😁. Can’t wait to give it a test, I can add an Orbi Voice as test device into the mix. ---

I have an app with over 300 beta users, I released an update - asked for feedback and didnt get a single reply. Beta users are not great testers πŸ˜› ---

Then you probably have to increase the number of beta testers, then there are also users in the feedback.😝 I would like to join. ---

I suspect the behaviour of @Marc_A relates to Homey system version 2.1.2. Which system version do you have? I am running on the experimental system version 2.1.2-rc3 and it behaves the same way as @The_Be reported. ---

Sorry for not getting back to you, in as much detail as usual. I’ve been on holidays. Currently if the app can not contact the server it thinks that it is disconnected and will destroy the session and ask for a new one. But there is another very obvious time when the app will not be able to communicate with the server, and that is if either you loose your Internet connection, or homeys wifi bugs out and looses connection. I am currently working on a way for the app to ignore loss of internet connection issues, but like all things in life everything is more complicated then you expect. I suspect your right @The_Be, and thank you very much for verifying this @mabe. @Marc_A rather then deleting and re-adding the devices, you can go to the More -\> Serttings -\> Apps -\> Amazon Alexa : and hit connect. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/1/1a7175af9d95472d1e7c3984771d0a598f1fe0bf.png) ---
