Empty Message from Alexa

[flowerbob]

Hello everyone,

I was running this contribution for quite some time. About 2 years. Always worked great. I ask Alexa to turn on any light and Alexa sends the message to turn on light XXX. Now the message from Alexa only contains the "on" part without the specification of the light. The setup didn´t change at all. Did anyone experiance this behavior?

SUMMARY

Alexa Message only states "on".

ECHO DEVICES

Echo Dot 2nd generation

MODULE VERSION

0.1.10
Alexa: 7685028996
