Sonoff devices work with eWeLink app but won't respond to Alexa

[Donny Bahama]

Things were working fine until a couple days ago, but now when I try to turn any of my Sonoff devices on or off, Alexa says, "[Device] isn't responding." If I open the eWeLink app, I can switch things on/off with no problem, so obviously the wifi is good and the devices are responsive; the issue seems to be specific to the Alexa/skill. One of my Sonoff devices is inline on an extension cord. I unplugged it to reboot it but it didn't help. (The other is in a wall box behind a light switch so it wouldn't be trivial to reboot it -- but since rebooting didn't help the other one anyway...)

Anyone have any insight on what the problem might be? Or how to resolve it?

are you in the right section of the forums?

anyway do check if you've accidentally switched to another family member's profile

I had the same problem yesterday, until the evening. Even now, it takes longer than usual for commands to execute. In my case, however, I was using my google home mini, not my echo. Sounds like a problem on the sonoff servers.
