I have always used the flows created in homey-pro and saved in the favourites with scenarios from Alexa. For the past week, if I call up the scenario from Alexa, I get the reply ‘ok’ but the flow does not start. If instead I launch the  
Flow by hand from the homey app everything works. Know what has happened? Can you tell me how to solve this problem that makes using homey useless for me?

Which Alexa app are you using?

Or do you use the Alexa integration?

I guess he is refering to the integration. The same thing happens to me, devices works through alexa but not flows. They’ve stopped working on my routines for the last days…

Same thing happened to me as well. I had my favorite flows in Homey (all starting with Start) and then I embedded them into an Alexa routine. As of yesterday, When I call up the flow via Alexa command I get the Alexa OK abut nothing happens. The devices are working fine (even when commanded through Alexa), the flows are working if initiated via Homey app. I have tried to disable and re-enable the routine in Alexa but issue did not fix. I also deleted the routine completely and did it again from scratch still no fix. I ended up creating a routine without the flow but simply with multiple devices and this one worked…so the issues seem to be the favorite flows that do not run anymore via Alexa routines and voice commands, help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

@Francesco_Angelone what is the current software version of your homey? Are you updated to the latest version?

My Homey are up to date with the newest software, but it still doesn’t work.
