Hi Folks  
Anyone experienced this error recently whilst using the Smarthome node to operate Smart devices via Alexa routines. Just started happening last week whilst I was away from home. I tested it pretty thoroughly before I left and seemed to be working reliably then.

Thanks

Yes, same here. First noticed when nodered didnt trigger amazon devices via flows as previously worked flawlessly. Troubleshooting sees a mix of this error (error response: Too many requests. Try again in some time.) and not devices showing in smarthome node when looking to query

I hope someone will be able to shed some light on this issue as I've put a lot of hours into these flows and routines. I wonder if Amazon have changed anything at their end which could be causing this.

Thanks for the link ciachoo. I found that upgrading my alexa-remote2-applestrudel node to 5.0.11 seems to have solved the issue for now. Will monitor the situation and report back if it starts "playing up" again.

If upgrading yours alexa-remote don't help you please change user-agent settings 😉
