I’m already on the US server but the routines don’t show for me at all, none of them, in homey I mean, they did before the 5.0 update but not anymore. And it doesn’t help to disconnect and reconnect sadly.
I had a few flows using routines and they worked fine still, till I just added another one, the new ones do not show up in the list and now the old flows are not working anymore either, seems we are now having the same issue… 
Still the same problem here to.
No more routines showing up in the flow cards.
Text to speech not working anymore.
When disconnected it is always “When we are unable to be authenticated by the Amazon Server any more.”
Still no support for echo 4th gen, echo show 10
The Homey Alexa integration works fine for starting homey favorite flows or controlling homey devices on a Alexa device.
Hoping on a fix soon because text to speech is used a lot here…

Hey everyone,
There are very clear instructions on what to do if you would like a new device added to this app.
If you have an issue with this app, letting me know what is going on in this thread is useful;
- What exactly is happening
- how often it is happening
- how long has it been occurring for
- what version of the app are you using
- why its a problem
- what devices do you have
- what country you live in
- what server are your alexa devices connected to
- what server are you connecting to using the app.
- Whats the diagnostic report num.
If you are experiencing the exact same issue as someone else - the like their pos so I can see it.
"its not working, is less then useful - it just a waste of time and space - I will be deleting posts like that going forward.
The code for this repo is currently private, but it is not a secret, happy to share with anyone who has the means and time to look deeper into the EU mystery, I estimated there is (for me) 40-80 hours of work required to look into it.

I have the exact same issue as @ZvFreak
i am in the netherlands, uk account, app connected to the EU servers.
disconnects are near instant.
i reauthenticate, use a weather report button one off the devices, that works a couple of times and then its unauthorized again.
i own 2xecho dot 3, 3x echo show 5, 1x echo dot 4 premium
worth noting is that we use household features so several of them tend to be switched to my wifes profile.
use case, i use it a lot for making homey talk to the household. so now we are living in a smart home thats mute.
app 3.5.101
homey 5.0.4
Hi Jamie,
Good to hear from you,
Same issue here, the app disconnects itself unable to be authenticated by the Amazon Server.
It typically happens two to three times a day but sometimes much more…
It started around mid-january this year
I use app Version 3.5.101 and homey version 5.0.4
It is really a problem because I use text to speech and when the app is disconnected it doesn’t work so the app can not be considered as reliable
My devices are 3 Echo dot 3, Sonos One and Sonos beam
I live in France and use the EU server.
Hope this will help you to fix this great app.
Don’t hesitate if you need further info

Hi, I have the same issue as the others but I’m on the US server although I live in Europe, Denmark.
Routines don’t show up in flows anymore after updating to Homey 5.0 and they are very essential to me, I use them a lot. This is the most important part which needs fixing in my opinion.
The Alexa app disconnects several times a day from the server.
I have a lot of echoes, 2 Echo Show first gen., 2 Echo Show second gen., 1 Echo Dot, 2 Echo Show 5. It’s the same on all of them.
Ps. If it’s possible, then I would be very grateful if you could add the Alexa Oral-b Guide as well. If you don’t know what it is, then it’s a toothbrush with an Alexa base attached to it 
Disconnecting issues, unable to be authenticated by the Amazon Server any more
Two people have stated that they are unable to be authenticated by the Amazon Server. - But also that they are disconnected from the Amazon server immediately?
How are both possible (they are very different) and when you say “immediately” do you mean it DOESN’T authenticate - or you only stay authenticated for seconds/minutes/hours?
Other people have stated they are disconnected several times a day - I am assuming that this means that you are experiencing a different problem?
Hi @Jamie hope you’re doing well,
I also face the disconnecting issue. I use the EU server.
The authentification works, but the thing is, if I “press” on a added device, I lost the connection immediatey.
Regards
So does it “stay connected” so long as you don’t try and do an action?
Can you give this a go - and let me know what happens (in full detail)

It stays connected but I cannot use any feature in a flow, even routines.
Some tests made with this version (more than hour left):
All Alexa commands → OK
Routines–> OK
And all devices are still connected to Amazon server. I’m using EU server.
Great job

Hi Jamie
Thanks for your effort
I‘ve added an echo dot 4 to homey
When I tip on the new Icon, I got a unknown error (invalid device)
Regards Daniel
After an additional restart, no reauthenticate required, and everything is working. Also my routines again.
i cant test the dot gen4 cause mine is the dot gen4 with premium sound. so it probably needs to be added separately.
great job, its good to hear Alexa talk to us again.
@Jamie
fyi, to know how valuable your work is: my daughter is mentally disabled, in order to give her freedom through the house i have sensors on doors and motion based. so using those events i get updates about her activities without running after her all day long. so piece of mind and freedom for her without being checked all day long. real added value for my household.
