No connection (no JSON)

[wxym5nnh6h-prog]

The app can’t connect to Amazon. Error is:
Error in validating authentication, no JSON.
After resetting the app, I get through the login process (“successfully authorised, you may close this window”), but the app is still not connected.
See attachments for screenshots.

When I reinstall the app, it stays on version 1.1, while the app page shows a 1.2 update (API correction) from sept. 5. Maybe you need to publish it?
You’re the only app that supports the echo hub screen.

Hope this helps.

I'm running into the same issue, I assume that either there is a general problem on Amazons side or that they changed their API. I will try to look into it over the weekend. But since this is an open source project anybody is welcome to investigate themselves.

Changelog of alexa-remote2 npm-package

(@Apollon77) Adjusts Authentication check to recent Amazon changes

Rebuilding the app seems to fix the problem.

@bischowski thanks for checking this out. I have pushed a new version 1.1.3. Let me know if it works, I'm currently not in my home network so I can't try to reconnect right now.

@stefan-schweiger updated to 1.1.3, re-connected and started a routine. works!

Hi. I have problem after every power off. I must then reset the connection to Amazon and make a new one. Is this normal?
