Alexa 'On Device Activity' not working

General
21

Same here - Thailand

22

same problem from italy, for a few days now, no longer receiving voice commands. Thank you for reporting the anomaly I didn't understand if the problem was on my node-red.

24

Same problem with me, listener not reacting but speech fine. Glad i saw this as I have already spent a few hours faulting

25

We just need to hope someone comes up with a solution/fix.

26

Just found this after looking for a few days and trying reported fix's with no success.
following for new updates.

27

in the logs I found that it redirects the service to a new domain, does this seem normal to you ?Authentication checked: true 8 Sep 12:19:29 - [debug] [alexa-remote-account:opt] Alexa-Remote: Sending Request with {"host":"alexa.amazon.it","path":"/api/endpoints","method":"GET","timeout":10000,"headers":{}} 8 Sep 12:19:29 - [debug] [alexa-remote-account:opt] Alexa-Remote: Response: {"alexaApiUrl":"https://api.eu.amazonalexa.com","awsRegion":"eu-west-1","retailDomain":"amazon.it","retailUrl":"https://www.amazon.it","skillsStoreUrl":"https://skills-store-eu.amazon.it","websiteApiUrl":"https://eu-api-alexa.amazon.it","websiteUrl":"https://alexa.amazon.it"} 8 Sep 12:19:29 - [debug] [alexa-remote-account:opt] Alexa-Remote: Change Base URL for API calls to eu-api-alexa.amazon.it 8 Sep 12:19:29 - [debug] [alexa-remote-account:opt] Alexa-Remote: Initialize WS-MQTT Push Connection
I am trying with wireshark to capture alexa-remote traffic but cannot decode the TLS data

28

I think a fix is coming but not quite here yet.

Patience people :slight_smile:

29

Seems to be fixed now with new version -

30

I can confirm this

31

Better still audio player state change is now working again, so my music player flow is back in action :smiley:

32

I can confirm that v5.0.40 works for me.
Glad to report... 'onDeviceActivity' is working again.
HUGE thanks to whoever fixed the issue. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Note:
I found on my system, I needed node v16 or greater for this update to install.
(I'm actually using v18.16.0)

33

now works again ,

  • In the Alexa account node you have to activate Events because by default it is switched off.

  • There must have been some problem with the type of events as the selection box has disappeared in the new version.

34

Unfortunately for me, V5.0.40 is not showing in my palette

I tried it last night and it wasn't there but after all of you saying you've got it - I'm suprised I can't see it

Did you install via palette or command line?

And yes- I've tried switching off/on and clearing cache :slight_smile:

35

I went to 'Manage palette' and clicked the Install button then entered "alexa" as the node name.
Then scrolled down and selected version 5.0.40

Must be a local issue then - I'll just have to type it out on the command line!

This is NOT what I pay the big bucks for :slight_smile:

37

Have you tried just entering 'alexa' (without the quotes) in the search box?
It should bring-up all the alexa nodes including v 5.0.40

38

:slight_smile:
I could see the node - it just wasn't the right version :slight_smile:

All OK once I used npm install from command line

39

I'm noticing some unreliability - I seem to be having to re-initialise often to keep things working

Haven't managed to come up a repeatable sequence of events - all a bit random at the moment

I'm on v5.0.41

Update - redoing cookie seems to have sorted it

40

I've just update my version of Node-RED (running on a RPi-4B) and noticed that the issue with 'On Device Activity' not firing has returned. Can I ask what settings people as using - this is my old/current setting.
