Alexa is loosing connection to virtual Devices #123

Hello,

i am using this Node and at the last 2 weeks i have the following Problem. Alexa is loosing the Virtual devices every 2 Days. It does not bring anything to restart NodeRed or the Skill, only a reboot from my Echo Dot 3 helps. Between the 2 Days i can find new devices, after the two days it does not work.

Some in the ioBroker Community have the Same issue. I do not know if Amazon change something in his code.

Normal use: 5815E5B6-3DD7-484D-B37F-AEFC0DF6EBD8

After 2 Days: A7C113BB-B177-42FC-B09B-ACFE3DF42813

Same problem here: node-red-contrib-amazon-echo 0.1.10 Node-RED version: v1.0.6 Node.js version: v10.20.1 Linux 4.19.66+ arm LE

Only option to restore connections is to reboot all Alexa HW.

same problem here. Even new devices loses connection immediately (they are discovered, but not usable). I have no clue why. Restarting/resetting Amazon Hardware doesn't solves the problem. Sometimes, a new device works, but only when it's the only virtual device configured in the flow.

No system changes made since last working state.
