Button presses do not seem to be passed to Alexa - Routines do not run
-
@Emil In addition to my Flic buttons, I've personally tested the issue with Shelly Buttons, my Ring Doorbell, and Virtual Buttons. You can likely read about the issue on the Getting Started comments at www.virtualbuttons.com and elsewhere.
BTW, things appear to now be working again, at least in my corner of the US.
-
@randyth Have you seen issues with other services yourself or can this be read about somewhere online at other sources?
-
This is an Amazon issue and it's affecting many other services such as routines triggered by Shelly Buttons, Virtual Buttons, and Amazon's own Ring Doorbells.
I've sent a message about it to Amazon. Perhaps we all should?

@Emil Interesting, that is good to know.
Thanks
-
@spamoni4 That's the response HTTP status code they give us when we send an event to their API.
-
@Emil That sounds good. Please keep us informed.
How did you know it responded with a 202? The history in Alexa makes it appear that nothing happens.
Just curios
-
Same thing happened to me. Alexa responds successfully with 202 Accepted whenever we send in a button press event, but the routine does not trigger. I sent in a support ticket to Alexa Developer support. I hope they reply soon...

I woke up to the same problem. All of my smart home devices except Flic are working after the outage. I have the exact same problem/behavior as the original poster on this thread.

Yea, I am hoping that I will not have to set things up again, I am hoping it will just work once things are ironed out.
I did reboot my router as well, but nothing seems to work. I use the Wyze products and they do not have a button, but I am working on a 3D-Print model to convert a contact Sensor into a button. I am doing this because all of my Wyze Products seem to work still. The Flic Button was controlling Wyze Bulbs.
I also use Home Assistant and other devices there. Those seem to be working as well. Just trying not to add additional complexities.
I know, Hope is not a strategy, but it is all I have now. Maybe someone from Flic, if they frequent the forums can provide something.

@spamoni4 the same thing is happening to me. I tried a factory reset but it didn’t help - now I’m left with the task of setting up all 39 routines again once this is working. Ugh!
