Can you show when it says to reconnect in the app settings, and the not found part please.
As you can see in the last picture Iâm supposedly connected but when I go back to Homey, Alexa is still disconnected.
Sometimes it would just reply âImpossible to connectâ.
Hi Jamie!
I am new to the app. I tried to search in this thread but didnât find an answer, so excuse me if I missed it.
Is it possible to activate a group / multi room speaker?
Thank you!
Yes and No, not with the available cards in homey, but you could launch a custom routine for that.
Create a custom routine in the alexa app, then you will be able to find it in homey using the âyour alexa device will trigger the âname of the routineâ routineâ. So yes, but you have to look into it a bit.
Thats all correct there is also the command flow - which allows you to just type what you would like it to do - this supports groups.
âPlay music on the downstair groupâ
Hi Jamie,
is it somehow possible to get an answer from Alexa to Homey? Like:
- let Alexa say âDo you want toâŚ?â
- wait for answer
- return answer to Homey (yes/noâŚ)
Something similar like push notifications with yes/no result, but via voice/Alexa.
Technically it is possible for homey to listen to both what alexa hears and says - then set it up so that if it hears something specific then listen to the answer.
But its not something I have the time to implement; you might be better off using a routine have having alexa listen to a specific item to then fire a custom flow. As that is possible right now.
You mean the scene trigger starting favorite flows in Homey? Yes, that Iâm using currently.
Amazon Alexa Routine trigger based on something you say
- which can either start a favourite flow, or turn on a virtual device in homey - which triggers a flow.
I seem to be suffering from the same behavior. Nothing changed in the app recently. But since last week i cant keep it authenticated any more. I authorize, get the token received message, devices turn without error, but after first use or automatic validation it unauthorized. Every time.
I will try to look into this asap.

What commands can I use in this card. Are there some examples?
All commands you can say to your echo.
So imagine the voice commands you normally use, and type them in 
âturn off the lights in the bedroomâ

It is basically a direct translation where you type something you can say to Alexa, so you can go a lot deeper then turning devices on/off.
âAlexa open sleep sounds app and play rain on a tin roofâ
âAlexa whats the animal of the dayâ
âAlexa order me a USB stickâ
âAlexa call John Smith on Lounge Echoâ
etc.

No change here, itâs been weeks since I cannot connect anymore (or that when I succeed, Iâm immediately disconnected)⌠
Very sad because I have many flows using Alexaâs voice to confirm this, tell me that⌠(Garage door is open for more than X minutes, fridge is open for more than 2 minutes, etc.)
There is a newer version which I hope will fix this issue, I am currently testing it and cleaning it up - as it is also compatible with the new HomeyPro there has been more work required then your average update.

Just a general update on the status of the latest version of this app :
For context this release required 4120 lines of code and is about 75% complete, developers with a homey pro 2023 are able to install and test with it.

will this app work with the Amazon Echo Show 8 2nd gen
Hi @Jamie
Would it be possible to read the next alarm from an Echo5 and provide this as capability (text would be ok as Homey has no date/time capabilities).
Now I use the HomeAssistant integration to get the values but if it would be easy to add to your app it would be a nice addition for Echos used as alarm clock.
