Same issue here unfortunately

Also same here unfortunately.
Worked for quite some time now, but yesterday stopped working with same error, Amazon must have changed something apparently.:pensive:

Hi,

Does this work with the Echo Flex?

Version 3.3.4 has been released to the test channel

It has been updated to :

  • support the latest changes by Amazon
  • Adds support for the Echo Flex
  • Adds support for the Echo Studio
  • All new (style) icons.

Please note that this will be the last feature release for Homey v4.

Hi Jamie,

how I can access the test channel? Where can I find the new version 3.3.4

The official app shows 3.1.203 with the authentication bug

Thanks
Ingmar

Thanks @Jamie

For any app in beta, you just have to put a ā€œ/testā€ in the address bar.

Hi @Jamie,
Thanks for fixing the Amazon bug, its working again :pray:
Although you did not mention the echo show 8 as supported, i am able to choose/add it. Only it has very limited functionality. (eg. No alexa says, reports, etcā€¦).

Just thought i should mention it :wink:

Thanks again.

Hey @Ron_van_Muilekom, this is why we have a test channel :slight_smile:

Thank you for your feedback, ill have a look and see if I can figure out whats going on, it hopefully wont take long.

Version 3.3.6 has been released.

It should add the ability to access flows for the new devices. Show5, Show8, Flex and Studio.

It also allows ā€˜Otherā€™ Smart devices to be added to home with an on/off capability

Please let me know if there are any issues with any of the flows.

Hi @Jamie,

This new version now disconnects within a couple of seconds instead of minutes.

I really want to use your app: itā€™s capabilities look really awesomeā€¦

Another thing I find really strange, is that the app doesnā€™t connect to amazon after a restart or after a homey reboot. Only when I go through the ā€˜Configure appā€™ wizard it connects to amazon. Previous version then remained connected for several minutes and I was able to configure devices and even have my echo speak to me through an action card. So I know it can work.

Still have no idea where to start troubleshooting this problem. Any suggestions?

Sorry to hear that you have problems with the app.
I can only tell you that the new version is working great for me, restarting app, restarting Homey, both give me no problems and alexa app keeps on working.

Hi Jamie,

Thx for the quick update, for as far as i can see most features on the show 8 work fine.
What does not work (all devices) : play a sound, reports (good night + good news stories)
Could be more, but no time to test this :neutral_face:

Working now. Thank you very much. Now I have to test everything. Play music does not seem to work. Could be my fault. First time Iā€™m using the app.

Is anyone else having the same issue as @Stanley_Merkx ?

@Ron_van_Muilekom when you say that it doesnā€™t work (all devices) do you mean devices other than the Show 8?
