What problems do you mean?  
If you restart Node-RED is there anything written in the messages?

General problems (discovery, activation, etc. with different nodes (alexa-home, alexa local, etc.).

> With listen\_port: 80 my alexa - HA connection is not broken. It works but like you said, Alexa is not seeing devices properly (“Deivce seems to malfunction”). So I got everything working when I added the listen\_port: 80 but Alexa is just saying...

Seems that esspecially the echo dot v2 does not work anymore.
