Ok. So you mean when you control the switches from Alexa, their item state gets auto updated in Openhab?
Ok. I’ll try that and come back.
At moment all for my usage in combination with Alexa work:
Usage: I have several skills in Alexa, e.g. “What is the weather situation in the garden”
If this spoken text is noticed from Alexa, the OH binding changes to the status from the last spoken text channel in OH to: “What is the weather situation in the garden”
This is recognized from OH, and the rule start and tell me with my Echo the values which are already in OH available, like:
“In the garden we have at the moment 20 degrees and 40% Humidity”
→ Spoken voice to Echo
→ Alexa Skill recognize the spoken text
→ send back to OH to the channel
→ changes in the channel are notified from the rule
→ OH rule start and give predefined text as output via Echo.
→ Echo tells me e.g. the weather situation in the garden.
Works very well since the last big problem around start of the new year…
Then it seems some issue with my specific setup. Will remove and reinstall the binding to see if it helps.
Hi all,
I uninstalled the Amazon Echo Binding. Restarted OpenHAB service , reinstalled the binding and it started working.
Thanking all of you for your valuable inputs.
I really appreciate 
Hi,
my Amazon Echo binding worked fine for weeks.
Until last week I encounter that it is offline very often.
But I have special configuration.
I use two different Amazon accounts.
Even it was working for a long time, to have 2 differnt accounts online a long time, I have now the situation, that either Account Markus is online or Account Siegfried is online.
I tried to delete all json files in /var/lib/openhab/jsondb and /var/lib/openhab/jsondb/backup
Then I authorized account 2 after an reboot, account 2 was online.
Without reboot I authorized account 1, was also online. A few seconds later account 2 was offline.
Are there any ideas, is there an increased loglevel to get some additional infos?
Regards, Markus
you can set the log level to DEBUG or TRACE (=maximum) to increase logging. It’s under settings - add-on settings - Amazon echo
I tried in the mean time different things, at last resort I asked Gemini AI.
Gemini said, my accounts have no direct separation, so because of cookies Amazon thought 2 different accounts on one device, which is not possible.
what was my solution:
- delete according json files for account settings in jsondb and backup directory
- reboot openhab
- give each account in the thing file an unique identification e.g. Bridge amazonechocontrol:account:account1 “Amazon Account Markus” @ “Accounts” [ clientSerialNumber=“OH5_Markus_App_2026” ]
- login to account 1 http://:8080/amazonechocontrol/account1 using 2FA
- close the tab for login
- open an incognito tab in the browser
- login to account 2 http://:8080/amazonechocontrol/account2 using 2FA
with this setting both accounts stay active (I hope for long time)
