Alexa: all Devices "not responding"


Recommended Posts

Out of nowhere, I woke up this morning to find that every voice command to Alexa results in "x-device is not responding."  Everything was fine yesterday.  No other network or connectivity problems present.  4Sight is active, and confirmed to be active when I log into 'customer.control4.com'.  Other non-Control4 voice commands to Alexa seem to be working fine (what time is it and so forth).  Control4 works fine via SR260, Android App, etc.

I rebooted both devices - no change.

I re-discovered devices - no change.

I disabled the Control4 Skill within the Alexa App, and tried to re-enable it, receiving this error message:

"We were unable to link Control4 at this time.
Please try again later."

I checked status.control4.com and no problems are currently identified there.

Is anyone else experiencing problems?  Any suggestions on what else I can try?  Or is it just a matter of there being a glitch somewhere and I have to wait it out?

Thanks.

This problem recurred this morning.  I've seen it from time to time in the past.  Usually I unlink the accounts, reboot the controller, and then re-link the accounts.  This time, it's not working, even after 2 controller reboots, and multiple attempts.  It's been more than an hour now.

I'm still getting:

"We were unable to link Control4 at this time.
Please try again later."

Anybody else seeing this today, or it just a local quirk in my system?

Still unable to re-link.

And now the Google Voice connection is also indicating it can't reach Control4.  Seems like it has to be on the Control4 side of things.

I checked the Control4 Status page, and no outages are currently reported.

Nobody else?

The behavior here is a bit different. If idle for a while having not issued any commands through Alexa to the C4 skill, the first reply is “not responding.” When I ask immediately afterwards, it works properly. It will work properly for hours. And once idle again for a while, it will fail the same way. All non C4 commands succeed. It seems to me likely a bug in the skill. It’s incredibly annoying and completely predictable.
