alexa not responding

Hello, I have all my KNX devices at home connected via BOS to Alexa - about 70 devices. All worked well, until suddenly Alexa stopped responding to all devices. i.e. - When I ask Alexa to 'turn on' a device, it says that the device is not responding - this is the same situation with all my KNX devices. To clarify, BOS works well from the app and also Alexa works well with other devices not connected via BOS. Any idea?

Digging up this old post. As my Alexa is saying that my devices are not responding for two days now, server reload does nothing and alexa skill is enabled. Is it just me or has anyone else problems with alexa right now?

Hi Jürgen,

All good here.

I mostly use Alexa just for running scenes. Today I updated some of my scenes, and reloaded the Alexa skill, everything is ok and responding to things like "Alexa, turn on sun protection".

The only thing that happens, and I believe it's Amazon problem, is that when the skill discovers the devices, it doesn't delete the old devices. I had to manually delete them inside Alexa app.

Other than that, all good here.

Best regards

For me, lights and thermostats are not responding in alexa, they are fine in bOS. Also alexa does not find any new devices(i made a new test device) and sonos is working fine. I restarted alexa too this morning and bOS services. 

Will dig deeper later.

Hello,

try and disable Alexa skill and Enable it back again and see if the devices respond.

Best regards.
