Last night for no apparent reason my voice activation’s of my lights through Alexa stopped working. I logged into my Amazon Alexa account and no longer see my switches, I tried to discover again but only see my wemo switches and my thermostat. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
are there errors in your logs? Have you reset your router?
This is what I found in the log related to the emulated_hue. I also deleted the emulated_hue_ids.json which was over flowing after a reboot the emulated_hue_ids.json was reestablished with my existing units included. Also I have not subscribe to the Home Assistant Cloud. Yes I have rebooted the router twice and Alexa still does not find any other units attach to my HA 0.97.2 Hassbian running on a PI 4
Thanks for your prompt response.

Some additional info. I signed into Home assistant cloud and now Alexa found my unit’s but they still won’t turn on or off with voice commands also the cloud shows disconnected. When I try to connect payment information is requested.
More information. Apparently the free use of Amazon Alexa communicating with HA has ceased as of last night. I established a new account at Home Assistant Cloud using the 1 month free option with a different email. I activated the the Home Assistant Skill at Amazon Alexa, did the discover and all of my components were found. Everything is now working like it should. Apparently we are being forced into paying a monthly fee.
I’m still using emulated hue without issues
