Listening node (alexa event - device activity) does not work with cakebaked. The node does not return any voice payloads. It worked with alexaremote2. It was very useful! Will it be restored? Thank you

I had mine start failing several days ago. I'm not sure if my issue is the same as yours... I had a custom voice trigger that checked for msg.payload.activityStatus = SUCCESS and then msg.payload.description.summary for my trigger word. Alexa started responding "I don't have a device named doors blahblah." In payload.activitystatus it was returning "FAULT."

So what I did was create a custom routine in the Alexa app that recognized the command "Alexa, check the doors" and the action is Wait 5 Seconds. It now recognizes the command, so activitystatus is SUCCESS, the voice message is still passed though, so I check it to trigger my flow, and all the wait action does is cause a chime to play. The trigger part of my flow is below. Hope that helps.
