Me too. It happens every 2-3 weeks silently. And in comparison to the older version no workaround like enable/disable or restart or reconnect works anymore after the silent disconnection. I have to go throw the whole login process.
Works like a charm for months here.
No disconnects, triggering routines via flows, Activating and desactivating devices,Text to speech. No complaints.
Thx for the hard work!
Lets still hope the app will be updated to SDK3
Hi @Marc_Jurriens thank you for both your feedback here and also for leaving the 1 star reviews.
As I have mentioned else where - 1 star reviews are useful as the help me to determine when something is no longer worth maintaining and where I should focus my limited efforts.
This app works like a charm,no disconnect anymore and all features works!
Sometimes indeed i lost the app connection but only when i restart my wifi so it’s not Jamie’s fault!
5 stars😁
I can also confirme that the App is now rock solid here, no more disconnects and working very well.
thank you @Jamie for your hard work, is is very much appriciated here in Copenhagen. Kind regards RepairGuyDK - Demarks biggest Tech Youtuber
@Marc_Jurriens thank you for explaining how complaining is actually beneficial to the entire community. It always eluded me why people do that, so thank you. While others waste hours and hours building stuff for everyone to enjoy, or help by testing and creating bug reports, requesting new features they came up with, they could have been contributing with one star reviews.
Your motivation, to help direct focus elsewhere is only just short of trolling. Thanks by all the people who are relying and loving this app.
Since me and Jamie asked for error reports if people still suffered from disconnects i assume we can locate many created by you… cause I need new error reports to find the remaining disconnects.
All working here @Jamie! So glad you managed to pull it off and well done, thankless task I know. One thing I would say in terms of feedback is please open source your code and you maybe will get people like me who could help fix issues This will help reduce workload and help the app get better!
Does anyone here know how to handle a response from an alexa device used in a flow?
Is it supported?
The reason I am asking is that I am asked a code from my car when I want to turn on the heater. It would be very useful just to be able to wait for a response from an alexa device and then just to send a payload.
Hello Jamie,
I don’t find something about echo dot gen5, sorry if I missed…
I have a Homey Pro early 2023, and I’ve bought today an echo dot gen5, I read just now that it’s not compatible
As we are finishing year 2022, I didn’t suppose that…
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll try that. I’ll report my progress back. I was considering doing “dead reckoning” just as you suggest, but I thought that it might not work.
I tried it, with different delays. Sadly, it does not work.
It would be really nifty if there was some card that “interepted feedback” from Alexa and then issued a reply.
My guess is that internally in the API “send command” and “respond to question from alexa” are not one and the same.
Question is if there even is a “text-API” call to issue a response, or if Amazon has decided that it should be voice only… Hmm Hold on… I could try and do this with the prompt in the Alexa app…
I’ll try that out the next time I need to start the heater in the car and get back to you…
The app doesn’t work anymore, Echo shows now as “disconnected” in Homey.
It says to reconnect in the app settings, which I do, it searches forever then says “not found”…
