I am seeing an issue where Skills Integration appears offline in the Alexa app. The effect to Hubitat is that voice commands to control devices all report that devices are offline. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Yes, I cannot use Alexa to control devices. Other skills that don't rely on Hubitat (MyQ and Harmony) aren't working either, so it appears to be a problem that's independent of Hubitat. Alexa can still do things that don't require a skill (weather and translation).

Mycroft Skill For Hubitat Ready To Try Out Integrations

For people looking for integration between Hubitat and Mycroft or Neon, I have made a start. In github/burnsfisher/hubitat-integration-skill you will find the code for a Mycroft skill that works with Hubitat's maker app. It works only locally (which was one of my main goals--avoid the cloud!) and at the moment can only work with devices that are controlled by turning them on and off. To make it work, you have to add the devices you want to control to the maker app in Hubitat. In the Mycrof…
