I had the issue, too, and finally got it working.
First I tried disabling/enabling each of the skills separately. Doing rediscovers didn't work either.
Then I tried disabling both HS skills in Alexa, then enabling them and doing a discovery. It found all of my devices, and interesting, has a new interface in the Alexa app (on iOS, at least), where it shows a different icon for Lights vs. Switches vs. Thermostats. Not sure if that's HS's doing, or Amazon's. Either way, it seems to be working now.
My device list in the Alexa app is a mess, though, because when I first started with it I didn't tell certain devices (like a Central Scene for a Z-Wave switch) to not be voice controlled. So ALL of that mess got pulled into Alexa. Now I've cleaned that up so what I need to do is remove everything and rediscover. That's the only way I'll really know if everything is actually there correctly.
Anyway, that's what worked for me.....this time. Hopefully it sticks and I don't have to do it again.

Amazon made some significant changes on Friday which will require forgetting your devices and rediscovering. If you have issues rediscovering you most likely have an unsupported device. You will want to uncheck all voice commands and only try a couple of lighting devices first. Then add voice commands back in small groups.

Whatever Amazon did messed up my accounts. I have 2 different accounts for 2 different locations (home / cabin). Both worked well with alexa/homeseer for 2 years. I had the 2 accounts linked so I could switch accounts and run events and control lights at my other location by simply saying "Alexa switch accounts".
As of this weekend my by HS devices are mixed in between the 2 locations and I can't control lights although I can run events. I've unlinked the accounts and I am trying to get back to where I can simply control lights. Just an FYI in case anyone else is also having similar issues.

Hi Rupp,
If HST were working on the server, why did we not receive an email from Homeseer status? Or has that been abandoned too?
