Anyone having issues with Alexa for controlling devices? seems there was an update recently and now I can't use it for stuff like smart plugs and cameras
I actually have to open each individual app to switch stuff on and off
I have real world problems here

I don’t have an Alexa, so fortunately I don’t have those problems. There are advantages in being a technophobe after all.

Hope your dishwasher and sandwich maker can't access this forum or it could cause you a whole lot more technical issues

WHAT? How can you function without an Alexa (other maker's sh*te is available)?
I wouldn't be able get up in the morning, listen to any music or know anything about anything without one.
I don't have one either BTW
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Thanks for that, yes it's the Smartlife plugs although one of them is working but the rest aren't responding through Alexa, no idea why. I've deleted and added the plugs to Alexa and renabled the skills but still no joy. Its not likeing my Ring and Neos cameras at the moment either Just says they're not responding.Stevo1987 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 10:22 pmSmartlife / Tuya went down the other day if you have their plugs or bulbs.TitanTim wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 7:28 pm Anyone having issues with Alexa for controlling devices? seems there was an update recently and now I can't use it for stuff like smart plugs and cameras

I had some like that but I unplugged them for a minute and plugged them back in and then they started working again with Alexa.TitanTim wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 10:31 pmThanks for that, yes it's the Smartlife plugs although one of them is working but the rest aren't responding through Alexa, no idea why.
