On Device Activity not working?

[expertsonline]

Just checking if others are having similar issues? It has stopped working for me for the last few hours. I mainly use this to see which device /room the event is triggered from...

[jasazick]

Also having that same issue - everything else seems to be working

[CobraVmax]

I have the same problem since updating & rebooting

[St4tikk]

Same issue here. I rebooted the box node-red is on after some maintenance and now on device activity is dead.

[obaldius]

Me too

[Cjkeenan]

https://github.com/Apollon77/alexa-remote/issues/132#issue-1011417647 looks like it is a bigger issue than we thought.

[vbenhur]

Same issue here.

[mnbahena]

It also stopped working for me, I've looked it up in several places, but I haven't found anything yet :(

[Cjkeenan]

Working for me again. Make sure you refresh your cookie and restart all of your flows.

[obaldius]

It's been coming and going over the last few days. Let's see what happens when it settles

[drvirtue]

Same here. Stopped working about a week ago. Haven't found a workaround that is successful for me yet.

[Cjkeenan]

Still working for me (US). Did you try manually refreshing your cookie?

[drvirtue]

Ah - I did not realize there was a difference between just reinitializing (from the Proxy), and dropping/recreating the proxy file. I did that, and now that I have reestablished my Amazon logon/pw, the Device Activity node appears to be working... sometimes. I'm not convinced it is consistently working like it was. But at least now I have had some successes. I will continue to monitor. Thanks for the insights. Hopefully a permanent fix will resolve the underlying issue.

It's working intermittently this morning. It seems to work once and then become unresponsive for some period of time. There is a significant delay between the Alexa routine firing and the Device Activity response if it fires.

[iceFbr]

Refresh the cookies did not worked for me...

[pmendiuk]

@Cjkeenan Is it still working for you? It was working this morning until I redeployed the flow.

[Cjkeenan]

Yes it is, but I have not redeployed or refreshed my cookie since the outage, so I rather not test my luck. I hope you can understand 😄

[drvirtue]

Mine worked for a few days after a cookie refresh. But, now it has stopped hearing Device Activity again - even after refreshing.

[expertsonline]

Same ... been down for me as well.

[Cjkeenan]

Down for me now as well. Not a great couple weeks for big tech...

[hannoverRed]

can it be that it doesn't work again?

[obaldius]

Down again and for a long time. It seems it has settled

[Apollon77]

New version available @cakebake see https://github.com/Apollon77/alexa-remote/issues/132#issuecomment-939825864 for more infos.

You CAN NOT simply copy over files because of the needed changes

[obaldius]

Hi @cakebake , are you planning on updating your fork? Many thanks for everyhing you've done..

[Varguit]

Migrating to Appelstrudel fork as @cakebake hasn't updated and my whole home automation depends on device activity functionality https://github.com/bbindreiter/node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel

Mine has come back to live again but who knows for how long. Anyways, can you please share how you migrated please? thanks in advanced

[Cjkeenan]

There are a couple of ways to migrate, but this is by far the easiest and it does not disturb your flows: https://tech.scargill.net/node-red-contrib-alexa-cakebaked/

[obaldius]

Surprisingly, it's been working for 8 days now.

[sicampbell82]

Has anyone else started having issues again, mine stopped working some time today after working fine since the fix

[obaldius]

@sicampbell82 yep, it crapped out today. What fix did you apply?

[sicampbell82]

I haven't found any yet, restarted everything and all Auth/cookies seem fine

I'm uk using cakebake

[bwims]

I just migrated to AppleStrudel and it works fine there. I have used it before so I have to ask - what do people use it for?

Incidentally for those of us who use Dietpi, the location of the node red modules is here...

/mnt/dietpi_userdata/node-red/node_modules

and the way to migrate is as Pete Scargill says:

npm remove node-red-contrib-alexa-remote npm remove node-red-contrib-alexa-cakebaked npm install node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel dietpi-services restart node-red

B.

[obaldius]

and the way to migrate is as Pete Scargill says:

npm remove node-red-contrib-alexa-remote npm remove node-red-contrib-alexa-cakebaked npm install node-red-contrib-alexa-remote2-applestrudel dietpi-services restart node-red

B.

Sorry for the newbie question but, regarding this npm install thing. Can this be done whithin a Hassio install? How? Terminal & SSH maybe?

thanks in advanced

[bwims]

Can't help there, don't use Hassio, sorry.

@cakebake is this repo still being maintained? IE are you going to update it or should we switch to AppleStrudel?

Thanks for the work.

I made the same question a couple of weeks ago and got no answer... Yesterday I moved to applestrudel.

[elgerg]

@obaldius I guess you are right.. Time to move...
