Alexa having trouble talking to emulated_hue / input_boolean

Hi,

I’m using emulated_hue to be able to control some HA entities with Alexa.
Among other things, I’m exposing a few input_boolean switches.

Since a few weeks now, I experience a strange behavior with a particular input_boolean switch:

When turning it on (“Alexa, turn on xyz”), Alexa always responds with “the device xyz is not responding…” (rough translation; being German, I have Alexa set to German language as well).
The switch is activated instantly, though every time.

Turning off the same switch (“Alexa, turn off xyz”) always results in an “OK” response from Alexa and the switch being turned off instantly.

I can turn on/off other switches using Alexa and always get the expected “OK” response.
The issue is just with this one particular switch.

Does anyone have an idea what makes Alexa claim that the device is not responding?
I’ve updated and restarted HA multiple times in the meantime but the issue persists.
