This appears to indicate that your Alexa devices aren't owned by you, but are connected through Amazon Family.
217-
This setup isn't supported by the Alexa Mobile app, so it's not supported by this integration.

Move the devices to your primary account.
243+
This is down to rate limits applied by Amazon. We are looking to reduce these errors but if they are causing you an issue you can disable polling for the integration which will stop these errors, this will however stop DND, sensors and connectivity from being updated but speech, announcements and text commands will continue to work.
