That seems to have been the cause. I should have realized that as I do computer support. I unplugged the wired network cable Restarted Homey Went into App settings on the Amazon Alexa Homey app and was able to connect (still using MFA). Then I was able to add my Echo device Plugged the wired network cable back in Restarted Homey Fixed all of my flows using Alexa. Thanks for the knock upside my head to make me realize the dual network connect was causing this!

Skdev Are you by chance using BOTH wired and wireless network connections on Homey? If so, see my post above

Hey, No, I only have homey connected wirelessly.

Yep, same here a few days ago. I’d say something changed in the communication between homey and Alexa. Tried around 5 different accounts already. Logging in isn’t an issue but it won’t find any devices.

Hi everyone, I recently purchased an Echo Dot (Gen3) to use for all my voice messaging. The Echo Dot has also been added as the only device/speaker in the Alexa app, however I am unable to add the Echo Dot to my Homey Pro. My process: Connect Echo Dot (Gen3), then select the server (have tried all three variants) and press “click to Connect”, then the “Sign In” window appears where I enter my login data, I am sent a confirmation code which I enter there and unfortunately the same result always appears: sorry, we couldn’t find that page. Try searching or go to Amazon Home Page. But this is also not found in the open window. What am I doing wrong and can anyone give me any helpful tips? If I can’t add the Echo Dot to my Homey Pro, I will have to sell it again. Many thanks in advance…

[image] [APP][Pro] Amazon - Alexa Apps I had the same issue. Solution: you must go into your Amazon account via web browser and enable 2 factor authentication. I did this and ran it through my Google Authenticator and bam, problem solved. I was then able to integrate all my compatible Echo devices. Use the code that comes through the authenticator app, not the one that Amazon texts to you. Hope this helps.

Wow, thank you very much ZvFreak, that worked really well. Add device, log in, enter code and the device is added to Homey Pro :wink: Thank you

Hello, the sockets that were connected to Homey Pro via Alexa have no longer been active for a few days. However, only the sockets are affected for me. They are displayed in dark gray and there is a time out when selected. Restarting the app and maintenance/repair do not bring any improvement. Greetings Chris [Screenshot_20240618_143926_Homey]

I’m currently rebuilding everything and the Alexa app is being removed again - it’s just too unreliable.

Exactly the same here, all my device connected through Alexa are “Offline”, I can’t control them anymore. I have tried to repair several times, disconnect and reconnect, restart the Alexa App, restart Homey and nothing, but still kan control everything from The Alexa App in my mobile so something is wrong between Homey and Alexa Network.
