First I want to mention: This is a great Projekt! I use it since a week and everything worked fine with alexa. But I suddenly got this error:

[19/12/2020, 21:26:49] [Alexandra] ERROR: ( homebridge-alexa) You have an issue with your installation, please review the README. 2020-12-19T21:26:49.698Z alexaLocal ERROR: connect ECONNREFUSED 35.169.132.61:1883 -> ECONNREFUSED 2020-12-19T21:26:54.700Z alexaLocal reconnect 2020-12-19T21:26:54.801Z alexaLocal ERROR: connect ECONNREFUSED 35.169.132.61:1883 -> ECONNREFUSED 2020-12-19T21:26:59.801Z alexaLocal reconnect 2020-12-19T21:26:59.915Z alexaLocal ERROR: connect ECONNREFUSED 35.169.132.61:1883 -> ECONNREFUSED 2020-12-19T21:27:04.916Z alexaLocal reconnect 2020-12-19T21:27:05.017Z alexaLocal ERROR: connect ECONNREFUSED 35.169.132.61:1883 -> ECONNREFUSED

I reinstalled the plugin at the Alexa App and on the homebridge. Nothing changed. After some reboots I made a new account and still get this error. Any Ideas? I thougt it could have to do something with the name so i named it Alexandra. I also tried deleting all Homebridge devices in the Alexa App.

It seems like the Plugin called the Website once:

Looks like you tripped the DOS protection on the cloud services. Stop the plugin for 5 minutes and try again. If you restart too many times in a minute it will trip the DOS protection, and to reset it you need a few minutes with no connection attempts.

Okay, this worked. I did this before but turned off the whole Server. After a reboot some Services Like an API didn't finished and the Homebridge rebooted. I think this triggered the DOS Protektion after some restarts. I just stopped and started the Homebridge and everything worked. Thank You!

Hi Same problem after rebooting homebridge, how do I stop the plugin alone without uninstalling it. thanks

For me:

sudo service homebridge stop

worked. After 5 Minutes (I waited longer):

sudo service homebridge start
