Up to date OH5, RPi4, amazon.de

Hi,

I noticed in my logs for a while now the following error message. It happens hourly or if I disable and re-enable the amazon account thing

I tried logging out of amazon and reregistering. TFA is used. Didn’t help.

Anyone else or just me?

Yes.

3

I’ll wait then

4

See the same messages, especially today.

Have 5 Echos and after a couple of years i conclude: its nice if it works out, but its of a complexity in the meantime, that always something different isn’t working out for unknown reason :winking_face_with_tongue: .

5

I have currently10 active echo’s, 5 offline/spare(Some guests do not like them ‘listening’). Mostly the binding works for me since upgrading to OH5 and ‘last voice command’ was fixed. I use them a lot for voice commands, commands with room awareness and text to speech info and alerts from openHAB rules.

I miss the voice info badly when it is not working.

I forgot to say … The bug I reported here does not seem to affect the binding from working for me.

6

Same here, I can see the messages, when an announcement is send to my echos. But At the moment everything is working fine.

7

is there anything I can do for this warning : 2026-06-29 12:22:47.767 [WARN ] [ntrol.internal.connection.Connection] - Failed to get notifications: https://eu-api-alexa.amazon.com/api/notifications failed with code 400: Bad Request . I have not found any solution at all :frowning: OH Version 5.2.0M6

8

Same here, some Message in the logfile, but without any Impact on the Features I use….

9

Am I now the only one, where the notifications on the echos aren’t working.

10

I have one of those messages coming up once every hour, but all notifications work nevertheless.

[WARN ] [ntrol.internal.connection.Connection] - Failed to get notifications: https://alexa.amazon.de/api/notifications failed with code 400: Bad Request
11

I also get this message, frequently every 30 minutes on OH 5.1.4 and also on OH 5.2.0 RC2:

[WARN ] [ntrol.internal.connection.Connection] - Failed to get notifications: https://alexa.amazon.de/api/notifications failed with code 400: Bad Request

TTS Output on Echos is working

12

I have also these message every hours :

\[WARN \] \[ntrol.internal.connection.Connection\] - \[OH-thingHandler-386\] - Failed to get notifications: https://eu-api-alexa.amazon.com/api/notifications failed with code 400: Bad Request
13

I created a GitHub issue, let’s see if someone finds out, what’s the problem.

14

Hi, I also get this message, on OH 5.1.4, every time I start a timer from one echo.

[WARN ] [ntrol.internal.connection.Connection] - Failed to get notifications: https://eu-api-alexa.amazon.com/api/notifications failed with code 400: Bad Request

TTS Output on Echos is working, but the “next*” triggers are no longer fired.
