I have several ways to handle Alexa X10 devices. When one fails like the smartenit servers I have a fall back in place. However if the Alexa servers have an issue then I fall back on the phone and one of several apps. As for timers and scenes the broadlink will do these. Still if the internet is down my HomeGenie setup can control things locally.

I received the same message today. Glad the problem was identified and will be resolved by tomorrow.

You do need a Smartenit account but, worst case, a new account would be required. The whole thing is a long shot but I figured it wouldn't hurt to see if it's possible. In addition to the Alexa function I've been using the Harmony to send emails/texts as my Stargate can only send email for about an hour after rebooting the WebX. But I can do that with my Yolink hub too so not a big deal.
What's interesting is that, although the Harmony can no longer connect to the server, I'm still getting a daily email from it at Sunset each day as scheduled. |

I've had my Harmony P2 for over 5 years. I worry that it or the PLM module will suffer some sort of electrical failure soon. I was already experiencing lockups about once a month where the Harmony would lose contact with the PLM module, requiring a disconnect / reconnect of the USB cable to correct while both powered. That affected both the app and Alexa skill giving good responses but nothing happening with the PLM. That said, I would not want to invest more than $10 a year, especially if the Broadlink solution solves the Alexa part. I already have the WM100 as a backup for timers and phone app control. Just that the wife likes (and misses) the Alexa part.
Also didn't Smartenit require some type of account to log in? I've reached out to the owner of Smartenit to see if there's an opportunity to take over support of the Harmony server if it makes sense. |

I just tested the Magic Home app with my old rm pro sadly it doesn’t work with it but the Broadlink Universal-TV-Remote app still does still does.

Hi Brobin
I would be interested, not sure on the yearly pricing though. |

QUESTION TO ALL: If we could take over running the Harmony server (it runs on AWS) how much would you pay per year to subscribe? I'd be willing to take this on if enough users could make it a break even proposition. |
