Hey Joey Hage, this issue is still not fixed, i am on version 2.1.4 and am still facing the same error. Also i see that on every restart i had to re-authenticate the cookies by going on url http://192.168.29.193:9000

I have noticed that after restarting the child-bridge or homekit server the auth file from gets removed

This should be resolved now if you upgrade to the latest version of the homebridge Alexa smarthome plugin, v2.1.3

Joey Hage the recommended solution did not work, Also I am not able to view any messages in Discord channel, can u please invite me in it

Thanks for the reports! There is also a thread going in the Discord channel: https://discord.gg/Hsn3eays.

For now, I highly recommend child bridging for all homebridge plugins, and if you are experiencing a total outage with this plugin, to turn off the child bridge running this plugin for a day and see if that does anything.

I will investigate what I can but I have not experienced the issue yet so it seems to be a soft ban.

I encountered this issue after I had to reboot my child bridge a few times. Now having this issue for a couple of hours.
