Hi,  
I installed the homey skill in Alexa app. I linked the acount successfully.  
Did discover. But no devices are found.

I’ll appreciate any help here.

( I also tried the opposite direction by installing the amazon app on homey. same results. I can’t see alexa connected devices in homey)

For anyone else finding this like I did when I had the same problem, I found that restarting the Alex app on Homey fixed the issue for me.

The Homey skill only “sees” favorite devices.  
Mark a device or flow as favorite, search in Alexa app for new devices.  
If the device is linked with Alexa, you can remove the device from favorites.

Favorites are used because else Alexa would discover ALL devices and flows and would spam your Alexa devices list.
